BLUES FOR MEISTER

Recorded during: The Uplift Mofo Party Plan sessions and Sessions with Blackbyrd McKnight
Length: 2:54
Performers: Flea (bass and vocals), DeWayne “Blackbyrd” McKnight (guitar), Jack Irons (drums)
Never performed live.

The instrumental track (of just bass and drums) was recording in 1987 during the Uplift Mofo Party Plan sessions, but the final recording (according to a since-deleted tweet from Flea) features Blackbyrd McKnight on guitar. This would imply that the overdubs were recorded during the very brief period that McKnight was in the band, from about August to September 1988.

In case it wasn’t obvious, Meister was Flea’s cat.
