The untold story of a series of Reagan-era guerrilla punk and industrial desert happenings in Southern California that are now recognized as the inspiration for Burning Man, Lollapalooza, and Coachella. Interviews and rare performance footage of Sonic Youth, Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Redd Kross, Einstürzende Neubauten, Survival Research Laboratories, Savage Republic, Swans and more.

Musicians everywhere have been swearing up and down by the mastery of the puppets for many years. Like some kind of secret club that you need a password and a secret handshake to join, here is your decoder ring. Moments of magical Meat Puppets adventures captured from time and served digitally in 5.1 surround sound. Catch 'em in front of big and small crowds from arenas to record stores, from electric assault to acoustic jammin. Pop it in your player and feel alive like you're right there in the nineties surrounded by Meatheads.

A live album by American rock band Nirvana, the album features an acoustic performance recorded at Sony Music Studios in New York City on 18 November 1993, for the television series MTV Unplugged.
