Meat Puppets

In February 1990, Meat Puppets were on the rise, riding the wave of their album 'Too High to Die,' which was set to release later that year. The live performance at Peabody's in Cleveland, OH, showcases their distinct blend of alternative rock, country, and punk, marking a pivotal moment in their career. By this time, they had already gained recognition through earlier works like 'Meat Puppets II,' influencing the landscape of the '90s music scene. An interesting tidbit: their songs, especially 'Lake of Fire' from this setlist, would go on to become iconic, even being covered by bands like Nirvana, solidifying the Puppets' legacy in rock history. This live recording not only highlights their energetic stage presence but also represents a transitional phase—where the band was stepping confidently into broader fame while maintaining their unique sound.
