The Replacements: Palace Theatre, Los Angeles CA
Richard Cromelin, Los Angeles Times, 13 April 1985

The Minneapolis quartet's records have earned impressive acclaim, but on stage, singer-composer-guitarist Paul Westerberg and company stubbornly repelled all efforts to take their original music seriously.
