The Replacements

In September 1981, The Replacements were at a pivotal point in their career, shortly after the release of their debut studio album, "Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash," which came out in August 1981. This album introduced their raw sound and energetic punk ethos, establishing them as a prominent band in the burgeoning underground music scene. The live recording from the 7th Street Entry reflects their energetic performances and the early development of their signature style, blending punk rock with a distinct Minneapolis feel. Notably, this era was characterized by the band's notorious reputation for unpredictability during live shows, often marked by spontaneous setlists and chaotic performances. The recording captures the essence of their formative years, embodying both the enthusiasm of their youth and the grassroots spirit of the local music scene.
