the meat puppets deserve more recognition

[RataStuey]

As a 17 year old listening religiously to nirvana unplugged this song always took me to a strange and beautiful place

[thisgirlshair]

2:13 the guitar sounds so good... This is everything rock is supposed to be.

[jonbutzfiscina]

A most underrated band. They don't deserve to be kept in the dark.

[underclvss]

I really didn't expect to find a recent performance like this with perfect quality. They sound so great almost 40 years

[martinaxe]

Probably the best version of this song ever recorded. That outro is ethereal. Lots of bands understand music, Meat Puppets are one of the few that understand sound.

[tornadus]

I saw these guys on the REM tour in '95. They followed Luscious Jackson and Gin Blossoms (Jesus, their singer was an egotistical tool). Meat Puppets wiped the floor with everyone. Just pure fun.

[OTOss]

Good god. This is so well done. I can see why Kurt loved it so much.

[biodveghead]

My roommates and I saw this band many many times in Portland and Seattle in the late 80s. In small clubs, they absolutely smoked. Absolute all-time favorite shows with those guys.

As a published songwriter of many years this is one of 3 Meat Puppets songs I consider one of he best songs ever written.

[jcmick]

Too high to die is on my top 5 albums of all time

[pauljenkins]

This song is a classic just like oh me and lake of fire. Glad to see that the Kirkwood bros are still around and jamming.

[CharlieCoxx-bb]

Nirvana and the meat puppets compliment each other very nicely. Real good stuff 👍

[lollapalooza]

The meat puppets have such a unique sound and are great sound scape artists. They don't get enough credit!

[Dopeking]

I actually cried at the end with that solo it was so magnifecent and im also baked af

[tomatocan]

this song is all about the outro, ..and of course an illustrated book about birds.

[brookaguillard]

That solo at the end gives me chills. so incredibly good

[iangpark]

truly one of the best songs ever written

[robbo]

That outro at 1.52 is one of the best things you will ever hear. Electric guitar or acoustic. Total genius.

[goongoon]

i find myself enjoying this quite a lot.
