Title: Meat Puppets Sloop John B.
Post by: adamghost on June 17, 2011, 02:04:40 PM
Just thought i'd share this:  I just did a few shows with a band opening for the Meat Puppets.  At both sound checks (but not at the shows themselves), MP did "Sloop John B," complete with raspy harmonies.  They did a pretty fair job on it, too...

The StandelLs are opening for the Meat Puppets?

They've apparently played it at a couple shows: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt3sY0x4PNk

Decent cover. I like Cris' voice a little better than Curt's for this particular version.

I play with other people besides the Standells...in this case, '80s SST art punkers Trotsky Icepick.
