Replacements '81 I'm In Trouble/Don't Ask Why

Professional-quality live video of very early Replacements, from right around the time their first LP ("Sorry, Ma") was released. Shot Sept 5th '81 at a Twin/Tone label showcase at the 7th St. Entry, MPLS. Taken from the Twin/Tone web site.

an energy beyond words. thanks for the post. i'm a life long fan of these drug induced, beer soaked idols especially when bobby stinson was alive and still in the band. also, i dug squirrel bait, the band, back in the day. were you affiliated? 

[SquirrelBait]

No relation, just always thought it was a goofy/cool name and I was pretty sure that 90 percent of people wouldn't recognize it.

"You don't call and I don't cry!" BEAUTIFUL!!!

SquirrelBait, thanks so much.

This fucking RULES!!!!!!

The Replacements were the best rock and roll band in the United States once. This is testament to why this was the case. They were truly great.

Amazing early video...and apparently amazingly sober! Bobby is on fire

Yall agree the early 80s U.S punk/independent scene had the good shit back then compared to the post Pistols U.K.? Amazingly nearly 30 years ago.... Replacements, Black Flag, Bad Brains, and more. Compared to PIL, GBH, Exploited, Buzzcocks. etc, except for Joy Division.

The states seemed more pure with power and passion, as oppossed to haircuts and attitude. Care to disagree...well do ya punk?

Perhaps the very best early 'Mats song ("I'm In Trouble"). And their most rocking single.
