On July 23, 1987, The Replacements played at the Beacon Theater on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.  The Mats played a marathon 28 song set that included favorites from across their discography and a whole bunch of covers.  The band played multiple shows in the NYC area in July 1987, including The Chance in Poughkeepsie on July 18th and The Stone Pony in Asbury Park on July 25th.  The band had also just released the fifth studio album, "Pleased To Meet Me," in June 1987.  Their set included some great songs from that record, including "Alex Chilton," "Nightclub Jitters," and "Can't Hardly Wait!"
