Maybe in this age there's nothing that can't be had, but is there a Mats/PW related item that qualifies as the Holy Grail, at least to you?
The secretly recorded but unreleased cover of "16 Blue" by Rod Stewart might be it for me.

Maybe that pre-Dont Tell A Soul album.

Maybe that pre-Dont Tell A Soul album. OK, I'll bite. I'm pretty sure mine doesn't exist -- Was there a phantom pre-DTAS album?

The acoustic version of "Hold My Life" that may or may not exist.

I've still never seen the SNL version of Kiss Me on the Bus. The Comedy Central rerun just shows Bastards. In which song did Paul piss of Lorne Michaels? Was it the off-mic (or censored) "come on f***er!" he yells at Bob before his guitar break in BOY, or was it something more blatant in Kiss Me?

And there is something "blatant" about their whole SNL appearance. In my humble opinion, it was the apex of the Replacements. I'm sorry I don't have video of the "Kiss Me" to upload, but it's a fine Holy Grail choice, something to see before you die.

I've uploaded it to YouTube and can be seen here: Tommy used to like to yell f**k in to the microphone back in those days, and I'm sure that the censors were ready to hit the "cut" button when he walks up to the Paul's mike, and were probably relieved when he yelled "darn it!" instead. Unless he really DID yell f**k, and SNL uses the the same filter that Kathy uses here, except without the "gosh" part.

It would have to be 'Left Here in the Dark' which I have on a 1984 Mats show from Columbus. Great garage rock song, but a studio version never popped up on any boots; I don't think it's a cover. Also one of the best they never put out officially is 'Nowhere Is My Home'. Perhaps we'll get a nice sounding version when the rarities/remasters are released.

Left Here in the Dark was an original by the southern Illinois band The Vertebrats. Check them out if you can, it's a great cd.
A nice version is on the Shit Hits the Fans cd.

Searching for BlasT's youtube upload, I found a video of The Vertbrats doing Left Here in the Dark: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hucrzOfBpIc

My holy Grail would have to be Video of the mats when they opened for Tom Petty at the Orange County Fair grounds in middle town ny. I believe this does exist. Can anyone help me in my quest? I would do most anything for a copy!

"This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner NBC because its content was used without permission "
If someone wants to try it again, leave snl out of the description altogether. I've had knockin' on mine up for over a month without any hassle.
Hopefully, Lorne Michaels doesn't read this board.
