“It’s been a great year, eh?” I said. “Best one I’ve had in a really long time,” replied Cris Kirkwood, bass player for the Meat Puppets. Indeed, it has. The Meat Puppets continued their 2007 tour with a stop at the BrooklynVegan CMJ party at Pianos this afternoon where they entertained a packed room with a loose and playful set that featured several improvisational segments. The highlight was the 12-minute version of Up on the Sun that began with an introduction jam that melded neatly into the song.
Thanks to the Meat Puppets, I had access to an excellent recording position, and was able to utilize the maximum height of my stand and my Neumann rig. As a result, the recording is clear and crisp. Enjoy!

glad you got it as i couldn’t make it to nyc in time for this one (i went to the late show at lion’s den) and especially as they played ‘on the rise’ off the excellent ‘rise to your knees’ a song i’m still yet to hear live.
