The Replacements

The Replacements' live performance of "Bastards of Young" on May 2, 2015, at the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee marked a significant moment in the band’s legacy, as it was part of their reunion tour following their breakup in 1991. By this time, the band had released the album "Pleasantly Disturbed" in 2015, which showcased their evolution while honoring their roots in punk rock and alternative music. The reunion tour, which began in 2013, allowed fans to experience the raw energy and spontaneity that defined their earlier performances. Interestingly, "Bastards of Young,” originally from their 1985 album "Tim," has been a staple in their repertoire, resonating with themes of youth disillusionment and rebellion. The performance captures the enduring spirit of The Replacements, demonstrating their ability to connect deeply with the audience even after years apart. This live recording highlights both a nostalgic return to form and a continued relevance in contemporary music.
