Muchas Gracias: The Best of Kyuss is a compilation album from the stoner rock band Kyuss. Although it is promoted as a "Greatest Hits" compilation, it includes 6 songs which are either B-sides or do not appear on any of their albums. It also featured 4 live versions of some of the band's best known songs; Gardenia, Thumb, Conan Troutman and Freedom Run, recorded live on May 24, 1994 in Hamburg. These live tracks were originally released on the very rare "Live at the Marquee Club" bonus disc that came with copies of the first 3000 Welcome to Sky Valley albums in Germany and Australia. These 4 live tracks are the only official live material available from Kyuss. They also appeared as B-sides for the “Demon Cleaner” single.
