Here’s another fine master recording recorded by our friend ML and transferred on his behalf by JEMS. It’s a great audience recording of Paul Westerberg’s solo stop in Richmond, VA, August 1, 1993. Samples provided.

I am a longtime Replacements fan and saw them multiple times in the ‘80s and ‘90s, but even so, some of my favorite Westerberg performances ever came on his 1993 solo tour supporting the excellent 14 Songs. The playing was polished but spirited, the band (featuring the late Tommy Keene on guitar and Josh Freese on drums) was outstanding, and Paul’s mood was upbeat.

The show ML captured in Richmond included a few songs I didn’t see, including “Seeing’ Her,” “I WilL Dare” and the Wreckless Eric cover, “(I’d Go The) Whole Wide World.”

Highly recommended for any Westerberg fans. Thanks to mjk5510 for his help in getting this one up and out.
