Notes:

Complete show: Yes

Musicians: The Replacements v 1.

 

Remarks:

Slight hiss throughout the show but it’s a better mix than some others from this period. Probably closer to a 7 than a 6, so let’s call it a 6.5. Is this essential for your collection? Err, probably not, but I will dare gets the crowd moving, Black Diamond rolls all over the audience, you’ve got to listen to Yummy, yummy, yummy (I’ve got love in my tummy), a song that’s not about oral sex and to cap it off, Go is given a respectable treatment.

 

There’s an unusually sparse amount of banter between Paul and the audience. Hmmm, wonder why?
