Thank you Nirvana for introducing me Meat Puppets

[Meddled]

That break into the different chords at 1:57 is one of the most beautiful bits of music in my opinion.

[betterinsodapop]

These dudes are legit. Still sound fantastic after all these years.

''who needs actions when you got words?''

"I'm thing 1, and that's thing 2"

[shirleyfrank]

I've been listening to these guys since 1987 and have heard/seen the performance of this song many times. To me, this is the best version.

[MrEverlasting]

At the minute 1.55 starts the magic. The end of the song is so beautiful, but in this version is even better. I love it!

[urgx]

Wow, these guys are really awesome...they have a really neat spin on this kind of music, you can hear their bluegrass / country style finger picking and chord progressions, but then it gets a nice melodic twist to it...He is a great singer too.

[bigsuey]

holy shit what a find. sometimes i love the internet:-)

[henrymerrin]

has anyone tabbed the solo at the end, its honestly one of the best things i have ever heard, so much soul....

[_jmnyoo_]

Too high to die and no joke are two of my favorite albums. Flawless.

[axelbartmoss]

Listening to this on headset with just a little weed, not too much needed; just pure happiness, no yesterday, no tomorrow, just now and this sound. Much love to these guys, they rock as ever. And greetings from France to you, rocky pals here. And THAT outro! Priceless.

[allrapsucks]

Curt Kirkwood is a guitar god! So brilliant as a player! One of my all time favorites!

[ronlaboa]

I wouldnt have found them without Nirvana Unplugged but Meat puppets are awesome ::) much love to them x

[iputuedysupartha]

Im wondering how Kurt could interpret this song the way he did. It was just so felt different, and much beautiful. But the Puppets are great, too.

[artamys]

I love the lyrics:

Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands

There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs actions when you got words

When you're finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean no dirt to be seen
And the work it took was fun

There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see…

[vathelosfox]

Plateau is one of the best songs of alltime

[SheilaRocks]

Just incredible! So glad they are still around.

[anthonynavarro]

Too good. He's the king of cool. The times I've seen them have been some of the best live music experiences. Especially in the late 80's and early 90's. 95 w primus was great too

"Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds."- possibly the greatest lyrics in the history of mankind.
