Receipts for the claim that Oklahoma City was a typical tour starting point and end point for the Replacements' road trips.

By the time the band reached Oklahoma City for the last date of the tour, they were burned out and ready to blow the gig off entirely. They arrived at The Bowery—a former church turned gay disco turned indie rock venue—and were greeted by an enthusiastic staff. The club's deejay, Ross Shoemaker, had borrowed a tape recorder to capture the concert. "I told Paul before the show I was gonna be recording them," recalled Shoemaker. "He said, 'Why? We suck." By showtime there were only thirty or so scattered souls in the cavernous 1,200-capacity venue. "Paul started by asking them to pull up their tables and chairs closer to the stage," recalled Freeman. "He screamed at me, 'Go get them some beer.' I grabbed a twelve-pack and started passing them out to the front row." After a few attempts at playing their own material, the band shifted into an evening of covers that moved between the Carter Family and Mötley Crüe, Lynyrd Skynyrd and U2. "It was amazing how they would pull these things out of their hat," said Freeman. Unbeknownst to Shoemaker, toward the end of the set soundman Bill Mack had gone up to the deejay booth and snatched the tape from his recorder.

Our third version of the origin story for "The Shit Hits the Fams" comes from band biographer Bob Mehr, in his book "Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements" (2016):

"... toward the end of the set soundman Bill Mack had gone up to the deejay booth and snatched the tape from his recorder."

We had three more shows on the itinerary after Phoenix: Fitzgerald's in Houston, the Continental Club in Austin, and the Bowery in Oklahoma City. The band was itchin' to get home, and there was talk of blowing off the Bowery gig, figuring it was a Sunday show and would likely be dead anyway. We couldn't afford not to do it, though, plus it was a good way to break up the long drive home from Austin. We'd been at the Bowery back in January, but it had since moved locations, into a former Episcopal church. The building was mighty impressive, though it looked deserted. I knocked on the large wooden doors, and

when the proprietor saw me and the van in the parking lot, he c claimed, The Replacements, my favorite band! Let It Be, my favonte album! C'mon in, the drinks are on us!" To say he was generous to us would be an understatement. The liquor flowed freely all night long, One thing about playing in Oklahoma City was that we could always count on one guy being there wearing the most outrageous clothes Inevitably, as we'd be approaching the city, someone in the van would pipe up and say, "Hey, I wonder if the guy with the wild slacks is gonna show up tonight." We found out later his name was Wayne Coyne, and he had recently started his own band called the Flaming Lips. The Bowery show could have been a disaster, but it turned out to be an unbelievably fun, drunken Replacements performance. The crowd was sparse but enthusiastic. When the band came on, Westerberg encouraged people to move closer to the stage, which they did, pulling up tables and chairs. Sullivan served a few of them drinks from our ample supply in the dressing room. The 'Mats kicked off the set with a rousing rendition of Larry Williams's "Lawdy Miss Clawdy." The audience was barraging the band with requests, so I thought I'd join in. 1 shouted, "Ye Sleeping Knights of Jesus." It was a song we all loved from the new Robyn Hitchcock album, and the band kicked right into it. The show continued on, bouncing between half-finished drunken attempts at classic rock and surprisingly coherent performances, including fine renditions of "Sixteen Blue," "Can't Hardly Wait," and the Vertabrats' "Left in the Dark." The camaraderie between band and audience made it a particularly special night. Most everyone in attendance seemed up for whatever the 'Mats did.

The Bowery was the last show of this run, and we left for home immediately afterward, a nearly 800-mile drive. Bill Mack was at the wheel, and at some point he put a tape in. It was a recording of that nights show. Mack said he'd spotted a tape recorder running in the balcony of the club and confiscated the tape. The more we listened, the more we laughed. Some of it was actually quite good, and overall it was a real hoot of a show. Paul floated the notion of releasing the recording in some limited form, which got unanimously positive responses. After the sun came up, Paul asked Mack to pull over, and John Freeman took a photo of the bleary-eyed band and me at the "Welcome to lowa" sign. In January 1985, Twin/Tone released a cassette of the Bowery show as a limited edition of 10,000, bearing the title When the Shit Hits the Fans. Chris Mars did the artwork, and the J-card included liner notes by Paul and John's state-line photo. I assumed I'd be cropped out, but Paul said, "Nah, you're part of the band."

Ever wanted to be popular, the life of the party (just plain liked, even)? Well, we did. And now that that absurd dream seems to be within reach, we've come to the sobering realization that we don't fuckin' know how to pull it off. People come to see us and what do we go and do? What we want —play covers, basically wing it and embarrass a lot of people in the process (a dunce cap never fit so well). For worse or for worser, it's us, and without that stuff we'd die a dull death. Anyhoo…what you've got here is most of a live show. Our roadie pulled it out of some enterprising young gent's tape recorder toward the end of the night. (Drop us a line, buddy, there's $3.95 in it for youl) Not a normal set, but we're not sure what one is anyway. Last gig of the tour, plenty of poop, but we like it. So here you go, friends. No backs. Pray for us. Paul P.S. Feel free to write us and shit, Waiting for the mail is the highlight of our day.

Terry Katzman: Bill Sullivan grabbed a bootleg tape [of a Replacements' performance at the Bowery Ballroom in Oklahoma City, recorded on November 11, 1984] from a fan, which Twin/Tone released in limited edition. It featured slaughtered covers, including U2's "I Will Follow" and Robyn Hitchcock's "Sleeping Nights of Jesus" and all that. The tape didn't do much for me. The fascination of watching them do "Misty Mountain Hop" [while] smashed wore pretty thin for me after one gig. As much as I loved them, I didn't see the romance in them being that fucked up and playing. It frustrated me, because I knew how good they could be.

start of the tour and also at the end of the tour, usually just for gas money. The Bowery was a huge place. It was an old church and used to be a gay disco also. The night [The Shit Hits the Fans was recorded] was a Sunday-night gas money show, so I asked Paul or somebody if he minded that I record the show. He said, "Why? We suck." Typical Westy response. I hung two microphones from the front of the deejay booth and there it is. There was nobody at the show-maybe twenty, thirty people-and we yelled out requests all night long. It was a great show. They had a new soundman that night. I was used to Sully being there and in charge. So after the show we went to a party and they headed out to Minneapolis. I went back to the club and the tape was missing. I thought a customer stole it. Twin/Tone put it out [in January 1985]. If you read the actual liner notes it says that it was yanked from a fan and confiscated. On the liner notes Paul promised "there's 3.95 in it for you brother," or something like that. I'm just glad I witnessed the show and a lot of other people got to enjoy the show. Back then it was all about the music, and the 'Mats were our band, their songs were our real lives. I actually had to buy a copy of the tape but I will always love the 'Mats.

Sire is lucky to have the Mats since Chris Mars, the Stinson brothers and Westerberg are, in my opinion, one of the very few genuine rock hands left in this world. This cassette release hacke up my claim. Taped live last November at an Oklahoma gig, it would have been a bootleg if the folks at Twin/Tone hadn't gotten their hands on the tape. Not an earth-shattering find, nor intended to be. S-r Hit the Fans (you fill in the blank), is nevertheless a hoot and a lot of fun. The guitar aren't alwas in tune and many of the songs fall through, but who cares? What we have here is a hand with soul. "This isn't the blues; this is white boys that ain't got a job," howls Westerberg, His com mitted vocal struggles - debauching Led Zeppelin, REM and Bachman Turner Over drive — are the stuff dreams are made of. This cover tune collection mixes scaring blues ("Been to College." "Lawdy Miss Clawdy"). country ("Sleepy Nights of Jesus"). a medley of disintegrating metal, and some out and out foolishness (I'll Be There"), capturing the Replacements' charm, warts and all. Highligh:s include a ballsier "I Will Dare" than the let It Be version, a sweet read of "Sixteen Blue." a scrunching "Can't Get Enough of Your Love" and the first "Can't Hardly Wat" available for home use.
