For the first time since July 4, 1991, the Replacements took the stage on Sunday night at Riot Fest in Toronto.
The current band, made up of original members Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson along with Josh Freese and David Minehan from Westerberg’s solo band, played a 23-song set that spanned their entire career.
The band will make two more appearances, at Riot Fest Chicago (September 13-15) and Riot Fest Denver (September 21-22).
