  1. Thank you for this show! This was the last 'Mats show I got to see. The weather was crappy that night because of a snow storm. Uncle Tupelo opened up & they were good. I met Jay Farrar after they were done & he wasn't too talkative. Oh well. Even though the 'Mats were coming to the end of their career they still put on a great show. If Only You Were Lonely, Someone Take The Wheel and Talent Show were a few of the many highlights of the gem. I even got to go backstage after the show & hang with Tommy & Steve (R.I.P.) and enjoy a cold beverage with them. All in all, a great night!

  2. I have a funny story about this show. Prior to The Mats set, Uncle Tupelo put on a blistering show as mentioned before. (They were one of the acts often dogged with being a lighter replacements, but that's beside the point.) Anyway, after the show, when Uncle Tupelo's van, whch was parked behind The Mats bus, was about to leave, it slid through the snow and smashed into the back of The Replacements bus. They drove off without headlights.

    Thanks for bringing back the memories
