The Replacements Play First Show In Over Two Decades At Riot Fest Toronto [VIDEOS/SET LIST]

Get ready to wipe your tears with your vinyl paper sleeves, '80s underground lovers. The Replacements played their first gig in 22 years and you weren't there to see it. While it wasn't all-original (of course), the lineup did feature Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson. They were backed up by Vandals/Devo drummer John Freese and Dave Minehan on bass.The 'Mats tore through a 22-song set list at Riot Fest Toronto.

Just as Green Day surprised with their pitch-perfect Dookie set, the 'Mats tore through Let It Be, Tim and Pleased To Meet Me tracks like the intervening two decades weren't no thang.

Some fan-shot clips are below as well as the set list (via).
