Title: The Replacements Post by: Sosso on September 08, 2014, 05:19:06 PM The Replacements playing "The Tonight Show" on Tuesday
Paul Westerberg the last time he performed in NBC's 30 Rockefeller Center in 1986, when the Replacements played "Saturday Night Live." The Replacements just announced a warm-up gig next week before their long-awaited Midway Stadium concert, but it?s not happening here in town ? it?ll be in the same New York building where the original Replacements made one of their most legendary TV appearances. Paul Westerberg, Tommy Stinson and their remade band will hit the set of "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon" on Tuesday night (airing on NBC at 10:35 p.m. local time). Keith Richards, who once booked the ?Mats to play his birthday party in the ?80s, happens to be one of the guests slated to chat with Fallon that night. The band announced their pending TV engagement in typical coy fashion via a YouTube video titled ?The Replacements Return to 30 Rock?!? It features footage of the original Replacements' notorious 1986 appearance on ?Saturday Night Live,? taped in New York?s 30 Rockefeller Center just like Fallon?s ?Tonight Show.? The band was purportedly banned from the "SNL" set for drunkenness (and sloppiness), and they famously returned to play "Kiss Me On the Bus" at show's end wearing each other's mismatched outfits from the previous performance ("Bastards of Young"). The original 'Mats never played "The Tonight Show" during its L.A. years, but frontman Westerberg did so at least a couple times, including a 2002 solo performance of "Let the Bad Times Roll."

Tommy Stinson @tommy_stinson Keef! @officialKeef & @ruby_stinson (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BxIAlmkIIAA50Cu.jpg:small) Title: Re: The Replacements Post by: Sosso on September 10, 2014, 11:05:12 AM They said it would happen, and it did. Nearly 30 years after getting banned from "Saturday Night Live", the Replacements were the musical guests on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon". Though Fallon began the episode by joking that they'd be covering Smash Mouth's "All Star", they did their Pleased to Meet Me classic "Alex Chilton". They weren't joined by Keith Richards, who sat down with Fallon to talk about his new children's book Gus & Me. In addition to talking about his grandfather and early memories of learning to play guitar, he recounted the time he got punched in the face by Chuck Berry. But if you want to see a photo of Keith hanging out with the Replacements, that exists below via the show's music booker Jonathan Cohen.
