01. Take Me Down To The Hospital
02. If Only You Were Lonely
03. I’m In Trouble
04. Treatment Bound

Get a noseful,
From our so-called friends...


Recording: Soundboard

Notes: Only Paul Westerberg solo show while a member of The Replacements. Listening to this performance allows you to really appreciate the skill of Westerberg’s songwriting. When a song like ‘Take Me Down To The Hospital’ can be stripped down to an acoustic number and still maintain it’s power and melody is an accomplishment. Paul was obviously nervous, saying things like “Christ how much time I got” and “This isn’t quite as bad as I nightmared it to be... of course I’m lying.”

Bootleg: Unintentionally
