Video & full audio: The Replacements reunite at Riot Fest

The Replacements played their first show in 22 years at Riot Fest in Toronto last night. Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson, backed by guitarist Dave Mineham and drummer Josh Freese ripped through an impressive 23 song set.  Read a review with photos from the show here.  Video from the historic concert is posted below and audio of the full concert is available to download here. The Replacements play Riot Fest Chicago on September 15th and Riot Fest Denver on September 21st.  Tickets for both dates are still available.

The crowd may be singing louder than The Replacements PA system. RiotFest Toronto.

Still can't believe I actually saw The Replacements first concert in two decades tonight. Incomparable to any other show I've ever been to.

Paul forgot the words again. No one cares. #RiotFest

Paul: "any requests?" Crowd: *screams every 'mats song not played yet.*

Also, loved that the people who started the mosh pit when @TheReplacements did Bastards Of Young tonight weren't even born when Tim came out

I don't know if I'm even ready to talk about how great the Replacements were tonight. Everything you wanted, they were. Give us more, K?
