The Replacements - For Sale: Live at Maxwell'€™s 1986 (CD)

N/A

In February 1986, The Replacements performed a classic live show at Maxwell'€™s in Hoboken, NJ. Until now, that pristine recording of the legendary performance has only been available in low-quality bootleg form. Even so, Pitchfork has called the show "€œa fiery, focused set that would make a true believer out of any skeptic."

The show at Maxwell'€™s would prove to be one of the last great performances by the four original members of the Replacements, a much beloved line-up including Bob Stinson on guitar, before his departure from the band in 1986. The songs they played spanned the band'€™s entire history while giving prominence to new material from Tim, including Bastards of Young, Left of the Dial and Kiss Me on the Bus. Mixed in were favorites like I Will Dare from Let It Be and Color Me Impressed from Hootenanny.

Now, more than 30 years after the original concert, Replacements For Sale finally offers high-fidelity proof of the peculiar alchemy and unadulterated majesty of one of rock and roll'€™s greatest bands.
