Yeah, live they were completely different from their records. They were
wild. Which is strange, because SST bands were so barely produced, they
tended to sound similar live and in the studio. The time I saw MP
(around Out My Way) things started clean and Dead-like, and gradually
got louder and faster and crazier, and at the end when he was soloing
and kicked in an echo effect for the first time all night, and it

Cobain didn't overstock- I think that's the only one he owned. I wonder
how the Meat Puppets felt when they were invited to play on the Nirvana
Unplugged show, and they only did songs from the second album.
