The Replacements - Live and Drunk (bootleg)
The Replacements - Live and Drunk (bootleg)
Recorded live at CBGBs in September 1984.
Do you all have a favorite boot? I stumble across them in record stores and atr shows every so often but have to really want more from the band to get one. This one was worth it.

How do they sound?
The Replacements were notoriously shit live. They had a philosophy—at least Westerberg did—of making the recording excellent but just being fucking wild or crazy or not giving a fuck on stage.
The only time I got to see them they were drunk and forgetting parts and skipping to the next song.
That said, I wish I had seen them more and am envious of that bootleg.
Hey, a 'mats fan, I see!
This album is like you said - they're wasted and they do not care if anyone approves. They start a ton of songs -- theirs and covers -- and mostly don't finish them. Paul and Tommy rant and rave between songs. A couple of songs are covers musically but with Paul singing Replacement song lyrics. Those rule.
I saw them three times back in those days, but all those times were on the other end of the spectrum. They were big shows, over 1,000 people and the band acted like well, a band with a lot of fans, hehe.
Did you check out the YouTube link in the post? That's what these sound like and there are a couple more videos covering the whole 2 LPs.
