I just listened to it earlier today as well. I loved it, particularly the references to the board and the descriptions of all of the '80s shows. I wish I could hear scannest a little better at times due to the connection, but if I have any (very minor complaint, it is that. With that said, maybe it's partly because I listened to it when I was outside walking and riding the bus?
Also,
1) Elvis Costello's Mighty Like a Rose is a GREAT album; I realize that's a minority opinion, but I bet it would be better-liked if he hadn't had that crazy beard then. I wish I could've seen that tour. I have a good friend who did and said EC was great (not sure who opened but it was at the Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel, so maybe it was The Replacements)?
2) I have had entire conversations about Bono's mid '80s power mullet. I call it the "New Romantic mullet."
3) I always liked "We'll Inherit the Earth" and don't get the hate at all tbh.
4) I was disappointed in the Philly show on the Replacements reunion tour in 2015, but I know Greg (who I went with) and especially Jude disagreed strongly with me. I think my perspective was greatly skewed by watching the Forest Hills set beforehand. They destroyed and I wanted something like that, that rare 1/12 completely balls to the wall set where they didn't fuck around at all. The Philly show was good and I'm glad I finally got to see them after wanting to for 25 years at that point (now 30 since I first got into them; crazy), but I agree that it was missing something.
