Glad to hear that the original 2 can carry the show. I caught them in New Orleans in 1987? and it was a shite show. stumbling drunk, belligerent assholes - I was so pissed. I think they were wearing fishnet stockings.
Saw them in NJ in '86 and they killed. They did a cover of Fox on the Run that surprisingly rocked. Wish I could find a bootleg of that show.

The last date I see advertised is June 2 in London. Wish like hell I could make that one...

ETA: I think this is the first time I used the term "bootleg" in reference to music in 15 yrs!

Me and a buddy made it out to Denver last month to catch them. We never could forgive ourselves for missing Paul Westerberg in New Orleans in 2005. One off the bucket list, ya know?

Great show and worth the trip without a doubt.

I saw them in 83 or 4 at the Univ. of Houston. ....or I sort of saw them. They were so fricked up they got through 2 songs maybe and bailed. Talked about a pissed off crowd.

Google that 'Fox On The Run' cover, it's on the net, I have it on a bootlegs disc I burned ages ago.

Check out Foshay Tower/Replacements and also Westerberg's site message board,etc..plenty of free rarities and bootlegs.

All the sh!t shows made for a great apology song.. Portland

Can't make a Mats GH album without also 'Within Your Reach' 'Skyway' etc..
