The Replacements, "Hold My Life" live
I'm very stoked for this reissue, The Replacements live in '86 just before they "made it" with a major label.
One of the things I really enjoyed about Trouble Boys was that it managed to solve a great mystery for any Replacements fan -- they were, according to many, either the very very best or god-awfully shocking worst live band they'd ever seen. In fact, the first live videos I ever saw of them had them playing pretty damn tight (even Bob!). Turns out, Paul and the guys kind of decided before going on stage whether or not they'd put on a good show. And of course, even mid-show they might decide to ruin it all if they didn't like the crowd or, if the stars aligned or the coke and pills and drinks were particularly good, they might decide to actually give a fuck and actually perform at their best.
Anyhow, a lot of these tracks sound awesome.
