    On August 22, 2009, Dinosaur Jr. performed live at the Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium, showcasing their influence in the alternative and indie rock scene. At this time, the band had recently released their album "Farm" in June 2009, which marked a significant point in their career, being their first album since reuniting in 2005. "Farm" received critical acclaim and breathed new life into their sound while staying true to the band's roots. The live performance of "Just Like Heaven," a cover of the famous song originally by The Cure, highlights their ability to reinterpret classic tracks with their signature sound. Interestingly, during this period, Dinosaur Jr. was also celebrating their long-standing legacy, as their 1987 album "You're Living All Over Me" had become a seminal influence on grunge and alternative rock. This live recording represents both their established presence and their revitalized creativity in the late 2000s.
