Meat Puppets - Up On the Sun (Bing Lounge)

[@Liz-iu5lx]

Curt is an underrated genius guitarist

[@williamdunlop8191]

Up on the Sun album 38 years old? is from another world ! First time I heard the album it blew my mind and it still does at 64

[@jamesjarvis641]

That jangley guitar sound is part of what made the Tempe music scene so unique in the 80's and 90's. The Meat Puppets were the forefathers of great AZ bands like Gin Blossoms, Refreshments and Dead Hot Workshop.

[@christmastubbs2613]

The jam towards the end starts too sound like something off of Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Meat Puppets were always creative and fun to listen to.

[@Obeast117]

Meat Puppets meets Syd Barrett. Absolutely incredible

[@johnny891000]

Kurt would be glad to see his idols playing like this in small rooms. What clean performances these are! Love the Puppets!

[@SonyaBladesBooty]

can we not talk about that hack

[@RawPower-69]

@@SonyaBladesBooty He was awesome

[@augustusbetucius1572]

Never had any idea that seeing them live around the time of the release of this album would be such an important piece of music history. Got dragged down by a high school friend to see them, and was instantly hooked. Others had the Dead, but for this one, the Meat Puppets were IT. Saw them live every time they came to the DFW area from Up On The Sun until Forbidden Places. The energy was very different then. It's kinda' hard to take them as anything but a three piece because of seeing them as such all those years. Cool to see Curt still playing that same Les Paul.

Great song -- One of the most influential bands ever...... The Kirkwood brothers are amazing.

[@anthonynavarro6074]

Saw them up on sun tour, huevos , monsters and too high to die. Meat puppets 2 is a great cow punk album and probably my fav of all time. Wish I coulda seen that tour

[@AL-sf6wh]

2 is the best album ever made!

[@strace67]

Saw them for all those tours as well, and a couple more. Also missed the 2 tour. and also my fave of all time !

[@strace67]

II is the BEST!

[@rossboss1]

I remember discovering these gems from the mid-80s in the mid-90s and I still get butterflies listening to this performance.

[@davidtapper6941]

exactly! This song is so great and the jam is just unbelievably awesome!

[@BaronKimball]

The greatest song ever recorded

[@nickfanzo]

Up on the sun...their best lp by far.

[@diggerthegroundhog8799]

Spent many a night with the boys getting stoned, playing tunes and just chilling. Back to 1982. Some very strange times indeed.

[@joeywomer]

It’s amazing. After all these years, they still sound great.

[@markkiman8407]

What a piece of music, love how it resolves. Brilliant!!

[@m_c_8656]

I was there, first row right in front of Curt. What an experience!!

[@brianfarrell7401]

Magical...much love to the brothers meat!!!

[@peggyverschueren1914]

Saw them recently in a small venue here in Belgium. I did not know their music. Building a song up, then tear it apart. They did not really get the respect they earn. I had the opportunity to talk to them but i did'nt. I'm sorry guys but you were fantastic. RESPECT.

[@jpcpm1340]

You have good taste, Peggy.

[@mikelabomusic7782]

HOLY CRAP THIS IS AWESOME!

[@chadmichaels6590]

Shrooms kicked in VERY hard to the guitar solo while I was watching the sun set in N. Phoenix it was so intense it blew my mind! Literally

[@Bill2226]

'Most Brilliant Guitar Solo Ever.

[@soujoaozinho5040]

This guys are great ! I hope one day I can go to a Meat Puppets show

[@williamdunlop8191]

Gotta see these guys live brilliant !!

[@keithandrew2705]

this shit kicks ass!!!!

[@GroberGrobian]

I'm so glad I had the chance to see them live when they played in "Postbahnhof" in Berlin, Germany! Still one of my favorite bands!

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Damn!! They look great and sound even better. Fantastic

[@jeffjefferson9885]

This will be the Bing Lounge show that outlives them all.

[@jeremyseymour7905]

Wow what an incredible version of this. So happy!

[@AlisonWild]

Current line-up is FANTASTIC. Coming soon, if you're lucky, to a City Near You! Catch 'em live if you can!

[@c.rothschild260]

That's how an electric guitar is supposed to sound.

[@strace67]

exactly

[@jeremyseymour7905]

This could be their best version of-this Damn this is nice

[@anthonynavarro6074]

One of their best!!! My favorite

[@mrjon75]

Awesome band

[@jrsytchannel2022]

That was some interesting noise you guys cranked out there at the end. If you listen to it enough then the finer points will show.

[@charmicarmicat2981]

When you listen to Meat Puppets, the finer points always show

[@lane546]

I will not have too much more of these Puppet Puns

[@charmicarmicat2981]

Two of the greatest guitar players. It’s like if David Byrne and Dickey Betts decides to start a band together. So glad I discovered this band

[@kylebookout1789]

Wow. What a great way to put it!

[@elmokirkwood3969]

true soul beauty: blinding. Like if I was up on the sun.

[@StellaWaldvogel]

Pupps RUUUUULE. Thanks for this. :)

[@thomastownsend4502]

From the 4th minute was what made these guys a sheer joy to watch. At the Jar one night, Cris blew his amp and they made noise for the next 20 minutes until they could get replacement. Cris ended up with his mike duct taped to his face. what a show, what a band.

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

Love the low end of his Les Paul, when he strums those thick, meaty chords.

[@BreakfastTacos]

Perfection. Bag it, Tag it...

[@3340steve]

Love the psych....Thanks guys....

[@BaronKimball]

A long time ago I said to myself extended distortion jam at the end of a song

[@mrjon75]

Awesome

[@augustusbetucius1572]

They still sound great, even now with the original lineup plus two, but I'm glad I was able to see them in the 80s when they were crazy and out of control. Cris making comments from the stage about how they were only using Owsley LSD, never mind where they might have gotten ahold of that at that late date, unpredictable medleys and tempos so fast on songs that were already cooking. I liked seeing them more than seeing the Dead, as they were really flying by the seat of their pants then.

[@oscarrocabert6268]

Careful with that axe, Eugene

[@BaronKimball]

A long time I ago, I said to myself, I said you are going to continue to love this song

[@BaronKimball]

Hell Yes!

about the tallest sing writ ever and played into monsters!! rad.

Conocí a los hermanos meat puppets por Nirvana Unplugged ,saludos desde Uruguay.

[@LeGrandeOrange]

The Pups are still epic! I ashamedly remember drunkenly shouting for Sweat Leaf at a show at Maxwell's, in the early 90's I believe, since I'd heard them cover it at an earlier show. After maybe 15 minutes of this, Kurt - visibly annoyed - obliged me with 4 bars to shut me up! Ah, those were great days!

[@bctesla]

Now that’s heavy

[@ToBo58]

Holy crud! Fantastic. Had no idea they were like this live, only had Up On the Sun, like, worn into deep neural grooves in my brain in 80's Seattle, an important part of a personal soundtrack for those times. Did Kurt C every hear them live?

ughhhhh. sooooo gooood :)

[@augustusbetucius1572]

Too bad Curt retired his old Morley echo/delay. That thing was the best for getting weird and psychedelic. It was responsible for trippy sounds on both MP II and UOTS

[@lesfaul4924]

Truly sad to hear. When did he do that?

[@augustusbetucius1572]

@@lesfaul4924 A long time ago. I think the last time I saw them (1990 or so, opening for the Red Hot Chili Peppers) he had already retired it.. Probably afraid to take it out on the road. Can't blame him though. They are decades out of production and if anything happened to it, it would be irreplaceable, and next to impossible to repair.

[@Trainy2]

They had the bass too low.

[@davidtapper6941]

You can't really change the pitch of an instrument without tuning it alternatively or using a pitch shifter and this song is in standard tuning, so you mean to say that the bass was too loud. I disagree because otherwise you wouldn't be able to hear it, but some people like lower frequencies more than others.
