This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Unless bands are so big that they're doing stadium tours complete with trucking companies and security, most are touring with a bus (at best), a rented truck to carry around their equipment and a couple of roadies who might double as security. Dinosaur Jr is one of those bands that is big enough to probably earn a nice living playing music in large halls and clubs while recording on a record label yet touring is probably not as glamorous for them as a band that is playing stadiums.

At that level, sometimes you park the truck in front of whatever hotel you're staying at and everyone stays in a room including the roadie who drives the rented truck. With major tours, the tractor trailers are parked at the stadium you'll be playing the next day, the truck driver sleeps in the cab of the truck and the stadium parking lot is locked and has security.

Some thief wanders along, finds the truck parked on the street and decides to steal it. Maybe the thief knew there was band equipment inside of it or maybe he was just some crackhead looking for something to sell. That's how it happens to a band like Dinosaur Jr.
