      I saw them in 2011 in Tempe. Similar story. Two opening acts with about 8 musicians each and just a wall of discordant sound. Meat Puppets went up with a guitar, bass, and simple drum kit and put on one of the greatest performances I ever witnessed for an hour and a half. Pure boss shit.

      I think that while this version was indeed great....upon first hearing that recorded version on Meat Puppets II that outro was really a blissful and powerful thing to behold. I always envision this force godly or otherworldly kind of force scanning moving out from the top of the plateau outward forcefully, inexorably searching. In that regard the massive tone of the outro on the recorded original is hard to beat.

    This band is so important to me as a musician and fan both. I grew up in Appalachia with old time music all around me, but as a kid in the 90s it wasn't cool to play acoustic or banjos. All my friends and I were listening to Grunge, Punk, and Indie. Stuff like Nirvana, Fugazi, and SDRE. Anyways, when I was 13yrs old Kurt Cobain invited these guys onto the recording of the Nirvana Unplugged. I spiraled down a rabbit hole and away from what all my friends were listening to. Seeing the Meat Puppets and that Unplugged opened a lot of doors to The Jayhawks, Wilco, and on and on. Ever since laying eyes on these guys I have been consumed with indie folk, Americana, Country, Bluegrass, Jam Band, and so on. I went from being as loud as possible to learning to play Auto Harp. No other band besides maybe Nirvana and Doc Watson has had such an impact on me. I'm 40yrs old now.... and to this day I want be in a Meat Puppets inspired band that also incorporates more folk. I have yet to blend the 2 out side of my basement. I have only been in bands that are either indie rock or country. Never really had the opportunity yet to put it all together.

    Wow, that was awesome. Love these guys. Seems like this band has "been with me" since 1980, Seen em maybe (15-18?) times as our paths crossed in the past 40 years, little auditoriums in Ventura, Santa Barbara, When I went East Florida, even ran into them when I took my entire (Tree Service) company to Charleston S.C. and pulled shifts (FireRescue) in the middle of Cat5, Hurricane Hugo!! When I found out they were in town and were actually gonna play, (unbeknownst to them), I bought up 20 tickets and turned 20 people who wouldn't have otherwise gone (and some of them didn't even show), but I did it just to help them out (and to make sure they'd play), I caught all three shows, bought up their CD's and gave em away. The entire State, much less Charleston was a demolished, war zone and wrecked. I assumed they weren't gonna make much dough on the show and I was so happy they were there. Few years later I caught them again as a Small place Bar on Church Street in Orlando, Curt looks up at me before they started and kinda cocked his head sideways, points at me I'm like, "Yeah, we just keep running into each other man", and laughed it off. I never got tired of seeing them and they have always been developing. Funny seeing them all Grey haired. I though I was the only one hahaha What a ride this life is.
