Amie Simon @posiegirl I danced my entire ass off to The Replacements. It's just gone. I don't even know how this skirt is staying up. #Bumbershoot2014 31 August

Boys play Seattle tonight, hopefully we'll get a few reports. Twitter is a wondrous thing, as a quick Mats search confirmed:

The optimist in me says what else could Paul be scribbling on the floor but new lyrics? The realist says it's probably the second verse to "I Will Dare". From Josh's twitter yesterday - "Replacements this afternoon in Minneapolis." And the photo: http://instagram.com/p/sBV1-zqE4L

Gotta love his honesty, and genuine affection for Paul:
"[Paul's] my favorite dude, bar none—as far as songwriter, lyricist. For me, personally, there’s none better. Westerberg’s lyrics make me cry, man. Time and again, over and over, his shit makes me cry on probably a weekly basis when I listen to his stuff. It’s incredible. No one does it better, to me, than he does. That meant so much—my work with him and getting to play alongside of him. I guess I couldn’t be prouder of working with anybody. I worked on Bruce Springsteen’s new record. I didn’t really care. I didn’t grow up listening to Bruce Springsteen records. I didn’t grow up, sitting at home, dreaming of meeting Bruce Springsteen one day. I don’t listen to his lyrics and go, “Fuck, these are the best lyrics ever written.” I’ve never had those moments. Is he a legend? Sure. He’s an American rock ‘n’ roll legend. Is he great? Yeah, he’s great. Do I listen to his records? No, I never listen to his records. I’ve heard his records, because I leave the house and I walk through grocery stores and I go to sporting events. But Paul, I’m still pulling for Paul, because he was an underdog. Bruce Springsteen’s not an underdog. Bruce Springsteen sold 300 million records. There’s still part of me that loves Paul because the rest of the world will never know about him, meaning there’s a small pocket of the cool people who know who he is and then no one else does. That’s still part of the fire inside of me that fucking roots for him and pulls for him, is because he’s got this hopeless existence. He’s never going to sell a bunch of records. And he’s doing these shows and they’re great. Even Coachella—there’s 4,000 people in the front who are stoked and 15,000 kids with glowsticks, scratching their heads.... [T]he Riot Fest shows were fucking great [because] they’re all fans."

No updates from Atlanta? Seems to be pouring rain and Billie Joe has once again joined the band onstage - at least Paul is standing this time!

Paul stumbled on stage carrying a cane, so the question is whether he sustained an injury that necessitated BJA's appearance (or was that just a pose? He might still get by on those.)

Apparently Paul's dealing with a back injury, hence performing from the sofa.....

Perhaps a guest appearance midset? Beyoncé? Meatloaf? Axl? Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley In makeup no less to sing "Lay It Down Clown"!

Josh Freese on Instagram: "I'm a little excited and a tiny bit nervous about what ends up going down on stage tonight with The Replacements for the 2nd round of Coachella. #realtalk #orvilleredenbacher #blessed #noapps #heehaw #godbless" http://instagram.com/p/m76dMXKEzi Perhaps something like Hootenanny? Perhaps a guest appearance midset? Beyoncé? Meatloaf? Axl?

Just looked at the AXS schedule posted on their site and it looks like they will NOT have the Replacements set. Here we go again. Curious - perhaps they deliberately opted out? Do recall some discussion last year of a director filming the Riot Fest performances, Go Pro cams on stage etc. - and in the clip of Alex Chilton below, there is a cameraman capturing Tommy's every move (far left): Perhaps this is all groundwork for a dvd release?
