Remember those Replacements reissues we were fawning over last month? Well, we’re still fawning as the bonus material from the Let It Be reissue has been particularly good. I wasn’t sure “Answering Machine” could get much rawer until I heard the demo Westerberg cut at home that is tacked on to the end of the disk. Check out the above video of the Mats doing “Answering Machine” during their 1989 performance at the Orange County Speedway in Middleton, NY. Also, be sure to stick around for the end of the video when the band comes in behind Paul.

6 | theloneliestmonk June 23rd, 2008 at 4:51 pmThis has made me so very happy. I was at the Bristol show and remember it like it was yesterday. The comment on the Stones at the end of “Talent Show” is one that has stayed with me since, and whenever I think about it I laugh.
I miss them so. The Mats were one of a kind.
