The Replacements at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium – 9/19/14

The Replacements did like to mess around, but they’ve also written some of the best songs of this kind that have ever been recorded, and the Forest Hills show had them playing hit after hit, sounding tight as hell. (“They’ve never sounded this tight!” exclaimed an older fan sitting next to me who seemed like he had seen them plenty of times back when.) They played just about everything you wanted to hear too. Their three most classic albums, Let It Be, Tim and Pleased to Meet Me, were well represented. But if you’re a fan of their earlier punk years, you got “Takin a Ride,” “Take Me Down to the Hospital,” “White and Lazy,” “I’m In Trouble” and a handful of others. And if you’re into the more polished latter albums, you got “I’ll Be You,” “Merry Go Round,” “All Shook Down” and “Achin’ To Be.”

Alternative rock legends The Replacements finally brought their reunion tour to NYC this past Friday (9/19) for a show at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium in Queens with well-matched openers The Hold Steady and Deer Tick. Above is an excerpt from our review, which you can read in full along with the setlist and videos, here. Now we’ve got a set of pictures of all three bands from the show.
