The fifth and final time I saw The Replacements on the main was on January 19, 1991 at the Hollywood Palladium. By that time, of course, Chris Mars was long gone, the disrespect he was served during the All Shook Down sessions having resulted in his leaving the band once and for all.
Chris Mars’ Replacements replacement was Steve Foley, meaning that I got to see every single touring incarnation of the Replacements at least once, though I remember the Palladium show as being the weakest of all of the times I saw them, though Doc and I were still glad to get to see the ‘Mats one last time, as well as The Posies, who opened the show.
