Belated re-up from 2008 for a friend. A long traded compilation, Shit, Shower & Shave, recorded in 1989, is the sound of the band while on tour with Tom Petty who, later, infamously, ripped off Westerberg’s “rebel without a clue” line from the Mats “I’ll Be You.” When asked about Petty’s nicking of the lyric, Westerberg, in character, responded “I’d steal something back from him, if I could find something I liked.” Touché.
Tracks 1-12 Bristol Connecticut August 31 1989 – Tracks 13-17 Milwaukee Wisconsin, June 1989 (originally released on Sire’s Inconcerated promo CD) – Tracks 18-23 Mansfield Massachusetts August 28, 1989

1 | cents January 6th, 2011 at 10:18 amwow. awesome. thanks. takes me back, real quick.
2 | elevene January 6th, 2011 at 12:35 pmI listened to “Tim” this morning at the gym!
This makes me feel so old, but I keep asking myself: why the don’t make them like this anymore?
3 | designexpertise January 6th, 2011 at 12:44 pmthe story about tom was hilarious.
4 | george massouris January 6th, 2011 at 12:46 pmYAH!!!!!
5 | r.carver January 6th, 2011 at 1:35 pmI’m about to download this mats and am looking forward to it, but also wanted to follow up the first comment about the live stones post. Wow! incredible performances, great clarity, solid recording. This is the most I’ve listened to the Stones in a while. What a gift. I likes me a lot of MP3 blogs, but Aquarium Drunkard is most definitely top dog.

They do, now and then … you just don’t gedda hear about it most of the time because the music industry is broken. Because it’s broken, the lucky and the few no longer have any hope of striking it rich by putting out an album. So all that’s left are the people who still make great music without dreaming about the big paychecks. But – no national promotion.
7 | TJ January 6th, 2011 at 2:54 pmSaw this tour; the MAts were fantastic and Petty was predictable much as I like him. I’m just tired of the singalongs like ‘Breakdown’.
8 | Duncan Walls January 6th, 2011 at 3:42 pmInteresting the mention of the Stones here because, if memory serves, Paul mentions at the start of “Round and Round” that the Stones were playing in Philadelphia that night – I think it was opening night of the Steel Wheels tour – “but we’re better…so fuck ‘em.”
How could anyone not adore The Replacements?
9 | SAG January 6th, 2011 at 7:15 pmThe crowd banter from these shows is great. Tommy telling the crowd “you don’t know it” at the beginning of AG, AP, Paul’s snide “you’ll love when he (TP) does it” in response to the dead crowd response to something he does, Tommy yelling “Axl” during one song, the aforementioned Stones comment, “down we go, boys”, “this is Breakdown. Sing along”, and on and on and on. What a great band.
10 | Jimmy January 7th, 2011 at 6:51 amCool Update. Thanks for loading my ipod with more ‘Mats!
Tommy’s yells FTW.
11 | Jason January 7th, 2011 at 10:03 amThank you so much! One of my favorite bands of all time. This just made my day!
12 | Josh January 8th, 2011 at 2:25 pmThanks for this – From Minneapolis
13 | Jukebox Breakdown January 9th, 2011 at 6:13 pmThanks for this – AND for the Stones, and for all the Tom Waits from the past few years. The Stones show IS really good, nice to hear Mick Taylor live. And such clarity and punch. Maximum rock and roll, as are the ‘mats of course!
14 | Michael January 9th, 2011 at 8:11 pmThank you thank you thank you. Awesome coincidence since I listened to Tim and Let it Be today…
15 | Alex December 7th, 2011 at 7:03 pmThank you!
16 | helena March 28th, 2012 at 2:56 pmThanks for this. It’s awesome! They are still my favorite band.

[...] of July has a lot of connotations, but in my own world, I always remember that it’s the day the Replacements broke up. On July 4th, 1991, the Replacements played a show in Grant Park in Chicago. At this point, [...]
