Yeah, Westerberg + Tommy + back up musicians.
It's be cool but kinda shitty at the same time.

Backup musicians = the musicians who have all been playing together since they were teens. I do wish Mars was on board but in the end the replacements are Paul and Tommy. The musicians playing with them, which im assuming are the ones on the latest EP, are more than suitable for the music. This is so great. "The replacements" are feeling and an approach to music....

Big Star did a good job of replacing dead members, hopefully this is as good.

The westerberg solo show i saw in chicago in 05 (?) was pretty amazing because he hopped off stage, ran back to the bar and came back with beers.
OH man. He fell off the wagon big time.
I have a great boot from the 3rd night at the Pantages in Minneapolis that tour....what a great week of shows that was

OH, man. Tickets are going FAST.
I bought my $68 tickets about 2 hours ago. 10 minutes ago I checked again to see what was available and they had gone up to the $78 tier. A minute after that those and the $89 set of tickets were sold out...
Had to call a buddy and wake him up to warn him

The last show in '91 was only 2 original members too...
See you in Denver (and possibly Chicago)

Yea, and wasn't it a complete disaster ?
I am really hoping Replacements are playing both nights in Denver.
