Replacements - Bastards of Young (live on SNL)

I meant to post this closer to the anniversary date a few weeks ago, but "...fucked it up."

The Replacements played SNL in January 1986, and proceeded to blow the doors off the place. Loaded up with champagne in their gills, tha band played 'Bastards of Young' first, then later changed clothes with each other for a rendition of 'Kiss Me On the Bus' (see below).

The Onion wrote about this infamous appearance here:

"January 18, 1986—The Replacements

In the years following the Fear debacle, SNL hosted plenty of classic rockers and acts from the MTV-sponsored "new British Invasion," but aside from one energized but not exactly dangerous performance by The Clash (circa Combat Rock), there show didn't even hint that the most influential bands of the new generation were plying their trade somewhere outside the studio doors. Then, in the middle of one of Saturday Night Live's bleakest seasons, critics' darlings The Replacements were invited on, in conjunction with their major-label debut, Tim. The band roared through a take-no-prisoners version of "Bastards Of Young" in the first segment, and then, after everybody in the band had changed into each others' clothes, returned for a passionate rendition of "Kiss Me On The Bus," the highlight of which came when Bob Stinson strummed his guitar exactly when he was supposed to. Why was that such a big deal? Because during both songs, the bandmembers were mouthing profanities into the camera, stumbling into each other, falling down, dropping their instruments, and generally behaving like the apathetic drunks they were. The fact that they still hit all the notes was miraculous, and, to quote a later Replacements song, sadly beautiful."
