If i was lost in the desert with a walkman with umlimited batteries and could only listen to one band forever it would be the meat puppets. Happiness rules.
I sent them message on My Space back in the day, and they got back to me. So cool. I just told them that if I was stranded on a desert island with 1 cd...I'd want " Too High to Die". They said thanks...lol

The voices of the Kirkwood brothers produce a unique and beautiful sound.
wHAT tHE fUCK?! lOL... This is STRAIGHT UP 100% better than a MAJORITY of the Contemporary Music out there on the streets and just in plain general, this fucked up backwardsassed Planet....
I saw the MPs at CBGB in 1989 or so and it was amazing and sooooo hot. They came out for a second set and Chris through jugs of water on the crowd. Me and my friends were pressed against the stage, shirtless due to heat and just sweating and dancing. This is one my favorite shows ever. I think Curt was interviewed by Spin mag outside after the show and mentioned how hot it was and how that just took the whole show up to a height that brought him close to passing out.
these are local favorite sons here in phx. i remember seeing them and being blown away. then one time a contractor i was working for had me rehab the pups home..doors kicked off the hinges, blood stains, needles. chris got shot by a post office guard for shits sake, how too high to die is that?
@@void0094 it didn’t strike you as odd that someone freshly out of band would start a bunch of social media accounts, add only fans of that band, and then hit them up out of the blue to talk shit about a member of that band while incapable of backing up all the egregious claims he’s made? Does that sound like something a “great dude” would do? Just something to consider. Now, imagine being the person who the hate campaign is aimed at and having dozens of people you don’t know contact you with the exact same story about this dude dragging your name through the mud. If holding my tongue and not acting like a total creep makes me weird then I’ll take it. I’m not the one who got fired. Not quit, fired, and allowed graciously by the band to tell people he quit so his ego wasn’t too publicly compromised. Ok, sorry for the shit talk.. not my style but I felt like responding in turn for once.
@@void0094 you’re all good! Im just being a little defensive haha.. I’ve found it’s better to keep my mouth shut and I should’ve kept to that here haha. Hope all is well :)
stumbled upon this concert while searching for more live meat puppets...not the same as the 80s and 90s but wow still...these brooklynites have no clue...lol...how can you stand still for so long when this great music is being played????...
Great set and they are so damn good. Curtis is just amazing. My favorite album is Forbidden Places and glad they played Open Wide and Sam; everything here is brilliant.
I love Floyd, Stones, Beatles, CSNY, and The Kinks... but most of all i love The Meat Puupets. Since 1982 yesserrii... itd be cool to hear Neil Young do a set with yall.. thanx for the rock and roll Love yall
Probably the best rock guitar tone I have ever heard (after Johnny Marr of course) Distorted but totally clear. At the end when he is doing the solo it sounds just like the Clapton woman tone.
Same here. Or it may have been 85. It was right after Up On The Sun was released. They were so crazy and manic then. Haven't seen them since Forbidden Places. Nothing against Curt's son, or the other guitarist they had in the 90's, but I can't get used to them as a four piece.
i had a crush on curt k when i was 12 haha...its so weird to see him now with grey hair....they still do great music!!! i want a meat puppet t-shirt for my daughter and myself
Still have two signed autographs of Kurt. 1994. One with just his name on my ticket an the other is a dvd of him an Kris. Def something that I’ll pass on to my son. Meat puppets were a huge inspiration to Kurt an the band.
OK, "cliche time" : Most Underrated band of all time. (I know, I know, EVERYONE says that about their favorite band, get over it) It's true, though. I never saw the Meat Puppets "Proper", that is, the original 3 piece line up, but I've seen Curt 3 times - twice while Cris was "absent" with another band lineup and one time Curt played solo, sitting on a stool, being fucking awesome all by himself. I believe he opened for Sonic Youth. All 3 performances took place in Dallas. I'd have loved to see the original lineup live but I'll take what I can get. God bless 'em. I take comfort in the fact they're too high to die.
They are so self indulgent in concert. Saw them in 2017 and I was surprised by the long jams -- too long. There were moments of brilliance, but not enough.
I like long jams. Its kind of what makes watching a band live worth it. If i wanted to hear their album cuts, I'd pop on an album. The best part of experiencing live music is the creation. The parts where there's No rehearsal, no planning. You get to hear it happen as they invent it. Thats special.
13:23 Holy Ghost and talk show host.....who needs Kurt when you got meat, brothers!!! Miss him though much, screw depression and Courtney's !!!!! (Love? Nope!)
Does anybody know how kirk got that tone around 12:22 during touchdown king? I don't mean the overall tone of the guitar throughout the song I just mean that kind of harmonic sounding tone I can't really describe it but I would love to figure out how to do it. I hear trey from phish do a similar thing I don't know how it is achieved. Thanks!
It’s to make sure you had a reason to leave a pointless comment and insult my name, because you’d definitely never do it in person. You’re welcome, glad i could accommodate 😍
because youtube said my video was shaky and asked if they could fix it. i stupidly answered yes without checking all the footage to see how it came out.
***** I found their album "No joke" at the thrift store the other day. I had heard of the name Meat Puppets through Nirvana and never looked them up. I'm glad I found them :)

So much groove and taste Hope they tour 2024
Curt's son is awesome and hilarious. That fucking grin, man, he's gotta be having a goddamned ball!
Elmo
❤️❤️
Best band ever. Current incarnation. Rat farm, is, in fact, sooo good.
Go go go, Elmo.
Truth! Every decade, they've been putting out top-notch stuff. Treasure this band.
Richard Grandmont and they’re just getting better!
Years ago I played Rat Farm at a party. Some music snobs made fun of it. Ieft that parry.
Mark Pino . . . As so you should have! They clearly had no appreciation for the finer things in life.
These guys just get better and better! I especially love how they seem' to be not aware of how great they are. It makes me love them more! Wow!

Well this footage has helped me to accept Elmo into my heart. Meat Puppets reign supreme!
Shandon sahm told me on Instagram, that he left the band because of him. Elmo fits in the band imo. He plays good solos.

Dudes! Remember playing at Bogart's on Vine Street in Cincinnati back in 88 man with a blast with you guys good to see you 👋
These guys are amazing and all, but when you pair their superb songwriting with Kurt's amazing vocals damn you got some gold here
stumbled upon this concert while searching for more live meat puppets...not the same as the 80s and 90s but wow still...these brooklynites have no clue...lol...how can you stand still for so long when this great music is being played????...
It's because they're not real Brooklynites....these are blow-in hipsters who grew up far from the borough. The real NY died 25 years ago.
Goodness sakes...Kathy's Clown is hypnotic.
So great!!!
Proof there is only one...Chris Kirkwood. Freaking awesome to experience the Kirkwood clan with son of Sahm in this video, thank you for sharing
Great set and they are so damn good. Curtis is just amazing. My favorite album is Forbidden Places and glad they played Open Wide and Sam; everything here is brilliant.
Great concert! They should include songs from 'No joke' album in their setlist
These guys are so f*cking awesome
So Fucking Great to see the Puppets in top form !
Saw the Puppets at Berkley Square in 85
This is fucking sublime...I want them to come to NZ!-I think its a lost cause,though-because of Chris' police record...
One of the greatest post-'90s shows ever. I can't thank you enough.
this is the first i heard the meat puppets
“Backwater”, is TIMELESS. Beautiful piece of music. Brilliant sound production at this show too 👏🏼
there is no mandatory solo, it changes at almost every concert! they are still awesome unique
The half hour mark is sooooo sickkk
Their songs age well. Also they seem to play them much smoother now than when I saw them in 1994.
I just saw them a month ago and they sound better than ever...awesome show!!!
I love Floyd, Stones, Beatles, CSNY, and The Kinks... but most of all i love The Meat Puupets.
Since 1982 yesserrii... itd be cool to hear Neil Young do a set with yall.. thanx for the rock and roll
Love yall
Puppets
This show just tore my face off.
Now we talkin.......memories.
NOOCH! YOU DA MAN!
Thanks for this.
Probably the best rock guitar tone I have ever heard (after Johnny Marr of course)
Distorted but totally clear. At the end when he is doing the solo it sounds just like the Clapton woman tone.
Stabilised vid but it totally works! Wobbly goodness! One of my spiritual bands :)
haha you are correct! i didn't notice the wobbliness until later...shouldn't have let youtube do it, but it does add a little something.
I can hardly see Cris. Bad lighting
The Cathy's Clown cover gives me happy goose bumps.
Still so good. Keep up the great work fellas.
This is so good....
damn, I first saw these guys in 86, when they were thin and cute. glad Cris is still alive, against all odds, tho.
Same here. Or it may have been 85. It was right after Up On The Sun was released. They were so crazy and manic then. Haven't seen them since Forbidden Places. Nothing against Curt's son, or the other guitarist they had in the 90's, but I can't get used to them as a four piece.
They're gettin' much better. oO fuckin amazin
really dope 💯
thanks for the input twerk nation !
@@coopermiddleton9494 yooooo Copper big fan/ real fan here sign my finger pls ! 🖕
Cool love them Meat Head Puppet's and there so different then the crap music today! 🙂
MP always astounds, every lp's great, and along with W, N. and M, are national treasures.
They are indeed still terrific - even improving with age. Even with Curt now sounding like Burl Ives.
They sound great here! Thanks for posting. Looking forward to their new album and tour!
they look like they are having fun....fckin great
Saw 'em live in Houston about a year and a half ago. Amazing show.
i envy you thy will never come to bexhill..
@@pikeywyatt I just saw them again about a month ago.
What a psych part in,Up On The Sun!
But i love the Family Puppets!
i had a crush on curt k when i was 12 haha...its so weird to see him now with grey hair....they still do great music!!! i want a meat puppet t-shirt for my daughter and myself
I still do (im not a guy if that makes any difference) Me and my gf used to go see them bc the 3 of em sooo good lookin- oh and the music
They're like the Doobie Brothers of the future man....like 👏wow
Caught them in Glasgow when they played with Mudhoney last year. Awesome band.
I was also there and hopefully next time they play Glasgow it will be as the headline act.
nah, no you weren't.
Are you saying I didn't see them in Glasgow. You can prove this can you?
absolument Génial !!!!!!!!! a écouter sans modération .
これは最高だ。こんなのが見られようになるんだから長生きはするもんだ
Lake of fire is so bomb
absolutely and completely mind numbing band!
+charles lecuyer What a mind-numbingly tedious comment.
I can see where My Morning Jacket got their inspiration.
See you soon boys
Amazing!"
A special band no doubt

rockin it out still...yeh...jammin
Country music on acid!
Greatest fringe band ever!

First time hearing this band. Totally diggin it, but the crowd needs more energy. hehe
That's the burg for ya
So bad ass
Modern Grateful Dead. There amazing.
There unplugged performance was great
Grrrrrrreat
OMG I love Back water
They are so self indulgent in concert. Saw them in 2017 and I was surprised by the long jams -- too long. There were moments of brilliance, but not enough.
I saw them in December bro and was gob smacked...I loved the show. I left in the middle of X and never do that...it was kinda anti climactic
I like long jams. Its kind of what makes watching a band live worth it. If i wanted to hear their album cuts, I'd pop on an album.
The best part of experiencing live music is the creation. The parts where there's No rehearsal, no planning. You get to hear it happen as they invent it. Thats special.
Hey Cris!
13:23 Holy Ghost and talk show host.....who needs Kurt when you got meat, brothers!!!
Miss him though much, screw depression and Courtney's !!!!! (Love? Nope!)

Naaaa tremendo
now.. big puppets

I got the meat sweats
I should know the young guys name by now cause he’s good but I still call him Lucky
Hi
Jii
01:21:30 in their angry screaming in this song have changed a rockopera🫎🌋🫂
the kid's fine
Wonder if his sister Cat does their hair
the new album is called "brett favre?
Roof with a hole gets snubbed? What the hell?
Who's that young, fat one? He's totally killing my vibe.
That's Curt's son, Elmo. I think he adds some meat to the sound. Probably takes a load off Curt's duties too.
They have toured with a second guitarist lots of times. Elmo definitely adds to the sound.
+Marc Arndt He certainly has a lot of meat on him, anyhow...
@@FaxanaduJohn funny
I should be in prison for all the vibes I’ve murdered at this point!
I don't really understand why Kermit is front and center at this show.
Jeez, but funny. Kermit Kirkwood lol

46:29. Plat toe
Hear some lindsey Buckingham in Curts playing on cathys clown
This is badass, but why does it look like they're on a boat sometimes?
because youtube said my video was shaky and asked if they could fix it. i stupidly answered yes without checking all the footage to see how it came out.
It doesn't bother me. Thanks for the awesome show. I just bought tickets to see them this month.
Because that's the effect of their music.
***** I just saw them in San Diego on Saturday, and it was nuts. They were in fine form.
***** I found their album "No joke" at the thrift store the other day. I had heard of the name Meat Puppets through Nirvana and never looked them up. I'm glad I found them :)
Shandon Sahm on drums?
Yes
You people sit back and play like Roger Ebert when you are not able to play.
Unfortunately , Alison, thats's the way the world works. Do you think Roger Ebert makes movies ?
I enjoyed his take on A Long Cold Rest (2013).
No "Leaves" ?? 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Curt gave up his strat ?
Andrew slid in their just fine but we miss Tia Carrera shows at home.
These guys can't play shit....and are so cool.
Riza31417 You're right, they can only play amazingly tight, well executed ROCK....
Barney Goodwin and country
MrBubblegumballs I stand corrected...
