Meat Puppets - Alive in the Nineties - 3180

$999.99

Amazon.com Alive in the Nineties won't disappoint the Meat Puppets' true fans, who will appreciate this low-low-fi affair's microcosmic virtues and historical importance. Mostly a compilation of bootleg video material captured via crummy camcorders in the early to mid-1990s, Alive finds the Puppets at an artistic and commercial crossroads: newly signed to Polygram, touring in support of Stone Temple Pilots, and on the cusp of a commercial radio hit. (The latter never happened, but "Backwater" reached No. 43 on pop charts.) Leaving aside the bad visuals, Alive documents the Puppets' efforts to keep faith with old fans (via informal music-store appearances) while broadening their base (via arena concerts, European television, MTV-level music videos, etc.). The band's crazy playbook of acoustic blues ("Station"), thumping blues-rock ("Lake of Fire"), and circular mysteries ("Plateau") are well-represented here, as are the more discouraging, screwy speed metal of "Automatic Mojo" and the atrocious "Sam." --Tom Keogh Product Description Musicians everywhere have been swearing up and down by the mastery of the Meat Puppets for many years. Like some kind of secret club that you need a password and secret handshake to join… here is your decoder ring. These are the chronicles of the magica
