Meat Puppets

In July 1988, the Meat Puppets were hitting their stride, performing at Liberty Lunch in Austin, TX, just after releasing their critically acclaimed album 'Mirage.' This album, which dropped earlier that year, showcased their distinctive blend of punk rock and psychedelia, a sound that was evolving significantly. Notably, during this period, they were becoming heavily associated with the alternative rock movement, which was starting to gain traction in mainstream music. This live recording captures their raw energy and musicianship, illustrating how they were not only pushing their musical boundaries but also forging deep connections with their audience. The band's playful stage presence and improvisational spirit shine through, hinting at their ongoing journey of creativity that would continue to influence artists for years to come.
