Meat Puppets

In February 1985, just weeks after recording their influential album 'Up on the Sun,' Meat Puppets performed live at The Mason Jar in Phoenix. This period marked a pivotal moment in their career, as 'Up on the Sun' was set to elevate their distinctive blend of punk rock and psychedelic influences. Known for their genre-bending sound, the band was gaining traction at the time, and their live performances were becoming legendary, thanks to their energetic stage presence and the spontaneous nature of their shows. Interestingly, this live recording caught the band in a raw, unfiltered state, showcasing their evolution as artists while still tethered to their underground roots. This performance not only encapsulated the vibrant Phoenix music scene but also foreshadowed their subsequent rise to fame, solidifying their legacy within the alternative rock genre.
