Concert Review: The Replacements, West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, Queens, 9-19-14 | Caryn Rose’s jukeboxgraduate.com
I had no idea what Paul was going to do when he suddenly lowered the microphone and got down on his knees (thus totally reinforcing the renegade elf classification from earlier) and it was one…
The Replacements Play at Forest Hills Stadium – NYTimes.com
Mr. Westerberg, 54, still has the slender build, flashy wardrobe and insouciant intensity of a rocker. Mr. Stinson, who has also been touring in Guns N’ Roses, was his comic relief, regaling the audience with…
Concert Review: The Replacements, Midway Stadium, St. Paul, Minnesota, 9-13-2014
I did not burst into tears when the band walked onstage because I was fighting for my spot, and still didn’t lose it until later. “Can’t Hardly Wait” and “Bastards” were sheer crystallized joy, bright…

50 Best Things We Saw at Coachella 2014 Pictures – Best Almost-Reunion: The Replacements | Rolling Stone
With bassist Tommy Stinson on a brief sabbatical from Guns N’ Roses, Westerberg led the Replacements (half of them, anyway) through a thrilling set that was tight enough to do justice to some of the…
