This is some great footage! God... like a million other people, I wish I'd been there! To the people talking shit about The Replacements: Yeah... this is pretty rough and even Paul himself admitted that their musicianship was lacking back then; but they had more heart than any of the BS out today. Hell... they were a better Nirvana than Nirvana ever was.Listen to "Unsatisfied", "Left Of The Dial", "Alex Chilton" or their cover of "September Gurls" and get back to me. Until then shut the f**k up.

@ztjordan Part of the luster or charm to the Mats was the fact they were rowdy, drunken punks. Or a rowdy, drunken unit. That's what made them special beyond the fact that they wrote amazing music.

One of the all time great bands. Real Rock and Roll.
-
the comments about the Beatles were spot on , They WERE rough but with all their heart and soul, just like this
-
psychobilly yeah!!!

The don't need to learn how to play just learn how to tune. Chuck Berry needs to learn the same thing though!

@EyesOfTheSouthSTi Wasnt a try. I did insult u and if it really didnt bother u u would have just ignored it lol
-
@BaalofSouls Clearly you are still crying about it since you have to TRY and insult me. Insults only work if they actually bother me haha. Clearly it didn't. Nice try though.

It's real live rock 'n' roll - not that stuff that comes out of a studio...
The Mats rock, but you've gotta understand the ethos to get it: this is '81 - the Mats were still rowdy, drunken punks.
Saying this is awful is like saying the Beatles sounded horrible on the Reeperbahn. Yeah, they probably did, but I still wish I could've seen it.
