This Phoenix trio had a live reputation second to none--rightly so, as this fine, twisted album, recorded at the height of their creative powers in Montana on December 7 and 8, 1988, shows. "No, it's like this," Curt Kirkwood cries wickedly after his brother Cris fumbles the start to a buoyant "Plateau," before he starts twittering away like a real good bird. The 16-minute funky medley of "S.W.A.T. (Get Down)," "Attacked by Monsters," and a very skewed "Blue Bayou," meanwhile, are simply unstoppable--and the laid-back(ish) "Lake of Fire" is downright scary. It helps when you have a cracked sense of humor. Fugazi and all Chicago math rockers (Rodan, et al.) clearly owe the Meat Puppets a massive debt, as this album's rampant, righteous version of "Maiden's Milk" shows. This CD is the Meat Puppets' first live recording ever issued. --Everett True
