Okay, here's the situation. A year or so ago, I saw a replacements compilation entitled Don't You Know Who I Think I Was? Needless to say, it created a monster, and I consider myself a very big Replacements/ Westy solo fan.

So, where do you go after listening to the studio albums and wanting more? Live stuff, of course, you want to hear how they measure up live.

I find of course, through some perusing, that the replacements were legendary for drunken performances, and the few bootlegs I have, including stuff like Boink, Shit, Shower, and Shave, and their last show (I think I got it here), have not been very good. Anyways, this is my plea:

I need help finding good replacements bootlegs. Ya know, whole sets, with them playing covers, talking to the crowd, etc. Any direction, pms, stuff like that, where to look, etc. is helpful. Also, I am willing to generally discuss the band.

i have a great show from the aragon ballroom in chicago from 89. I can tryand upload it for you.

also a show from maxwells in 84 i believe...

both great sounding boots and they sound excellent.

love the mats, love westy solo even more.

this thread title got me excited that maybe there was going to be an official live release. i have a few bootlegs around, but they aren't very good sound quality and the mats are, per usual, rather sauced. in other words, i'd enjoy a sbd recording as well.

I bumped their thread requesting any decent live material and the consensus was they suck ass live.

Does Paul play much Mats stuff live?

yea he does, its the only time the old folks get out of their seats

can you upload those 'Mats shows?
