4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty darn good, March 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Live in Montana (Audio CD)

Definitely the Meat Puppets in top form. Though this is probably my least favorite time period in Meat puppets history, there is no denying their musical prowess on this CD. One good thing is I've never before heard Cris play bass so damn well. The vocal growls that Curt used at this time period (kind of like Johnny Winter) can get pretty annoying, but it doesn't really bother me to much. Maybe because I'm already a converted fan. If this was the first Puppets album I ever heard, it would probably annoy me. Therefore I'd reccommend this album only for those who are already fans. Oh and by the way. Derrick totally rips on the drums on this. Don't let anyone tell you he's not a good drummer! -JOE BAKER

4.0 out of 5 stars I Can't Be Counted On, March 25, 2006

The studio version of "I Can't Be Counted On" was just alright, but the live version is incredible. I'd buy this CD again (if I didn't already have it) just to have a copy of this version of "I Can't Be Counted On"! The rest of the CD is pretty good, but anyone who hasn't heard the live version of "I Can't Be Counted On" really needs to get this CD!

4.0 out of 5 stars Puppets - Live in Montana exclusively for die-hards, December 3, 1999

Live in Montana is a historic and sentimental offering that only long-standing Puppet fans could appreciate. In other words, when my wife is in the room, I'm not allowed to play this gem. Michele, please give them a fair chance, you know how important these geniuses are to me! Recorded at close to their artistic height in the late 80's, the listener gets the feeling that they're sometimes intentionally trying not to sound good, with gobbly incoherent vocals and uncohesively loose guitar/bass riffs. Nonetheless this collection compiled by Bostrom last year is a real treat for true fans. Does anybody know if Chris is officially dead?
