(R.I.P. Slim Dunlap) The Replacements - Live At Grant Park 1991 | VOODOO WAGON | SILENT WAY

The Replacements - Live At Grant Park CHICAGO USA 1991


 (R.I.P. Slim Dunlap)

OBITUARY - The Guardian (here)


The Replacements - Live At Grant Park
Chicago, IL.
July 4, 1991 
FM Broadcast Chicago’s WXRT @320

This last album is where the bootleg gets its name – “It Ain’t Over ‘Til The Fat Roadies Play.” 
The last song of the set was the band’s ramshackle opening and title track from 1983′s 
Hootenanny. Much as the band had done in Blackberry Way studio in Minneapolis, 
Minnesota – when separated from the sight of the producer, the band had switched 
instruments and played the title track with what can generously be described as inept 
competence – the band members, one by one, departed the stage and let their respective
 roadies replace them on stage. 

N.B. This is also bootlegged as ‘Institutionalized' as evidenced on the artwork.

Set List:
1. “I Will Dare”
2. “Bent Out of Shape”
3. “Achin’ to Be”
4. “Merry Go Round”
5. “Happy Town”
6. “Swinging Party”
7. “One Wink at a Time”
8. “Waitress in the Sky”
9. “When It Began”
10. “Someone Take the Wheel”
11. “Talent Show”
12. “Nobody”
13. “Another Girl, Another Planet”
14. “Hey Good Lookin’”
15. “I’ll Be You”
16. “I Don’t Know”
17. “Within Your Reach”
18. “Can’t Hardly Wait”
19. “Hootenanny”
