- Live cover of my favorite Prince song. No clue if "Essential Mats: Obscurities, Live Tracks, & Album Cuts" is a real thing or just some fan compiled collection of music. Don't remember where I got it.

God I love this. They almost make it sound reminiscent of vintage Cheap Trick at times.
Minnesota boys covering Minnesota royalty. Love this.
My favorite Mats cover song.
The Mats were also royalty young one!!
Michael Strzempka true: but the purple one was in the stratosphere
One of the coolest if not most unexpected covers ever.!
Need to go to Minnesota
I love being from Minnesota.
This is fucking magic
Bobby Stinson rips! He was the gasoline on the fire of the Mats.
Him AND Tommy
Wouldn't Bob be out of the band by this point?
@@scipio123 If he had lived, yes.
Wish they would have done a full studio version of this....killer!
The Goo Goo Dolls did, it’s cool.
@@th3gr81They probably heard/saw The Mats doing it first.
@@VanielDeeform
That wouldn’t surprise me.
Only Paul could just fuck around with the lyrics and make it better
Just now getting deep into the mats...they are so amazing...sloppy, rockin and one hundred percent unique...
My fav band. I envy you.
Goes to show that people don't actually appreciate Prince's music as much as they appreciate appreciating Prince outside the musical context.
edit: because this video is 6 years old and has 25k views. Love this song it's my favorite song by Prince
Way to go, Chris Mars!
I wish I could work out what Paul changed the lyrics to, but I'm sure they're still in the spirit of his fellow Minnesotan.
NO !!! LMFAO NO !!! XOXO
Beautiful song! Even more beautiful tribute!
thanks so much for the upload luv this version
I think I read somewhere that Prince would go see the early punk bands in Minneapolis, so this song could in fact have been inspired by the Replacements
I just found out that Prince first did this song way back in 1979, wow.
Here's a link to it from his official TH-cam channel - th-cam.com/video/NAegR_IKlyc/w-d-xo.html
Fuck yea!
Man when they were “on” they were the best rock and roll band ever.
Fuck yes!!! Thank you!!!
Should hear Paul's interview when Prince passed.
Anyone know what year this was? Bob still with band? (Sounds like him.) This is actually pretty good!
I think it was after Bob left. The Prince song came out in 1987, so it must've been Slim on guitar.
@@cameliaferwela9314 Good point. I knew Sign was 80s but couldn't remember when. Right--not Bob. Slim, probably.
Where can we get this CD?
Year?
1987
thx bud
Goo goo dolls version is awesome.
I know for a fact that when Prince heard the Goos version he said " I wish I had played the original faster"
@@johncohle8331 i fuckin doubt that.
@@johncohle8331 Prince did play it faster in the live version from the Sign O' the Time film and it's official music video.
@@doireannlynch Lance Diamond told me directly. Go ahead and Google him sweetheart.
@@johncohle8331 well if lance said it….
Of course they don't know the lyrics lol
So i guess 'cover' means change or botch most of the lyrics?
It's the 'Mats. Is there any other way to play a "cover"?
Eric Porvaznik thank you I was about to say the same thing til I saw ur comment

So I guess when someone said "the Replacements live," you had NO CLUE...
It does! Rock and roll at its greatest.
I'm guessing you're not a 'Mats fan
