Legendary punk rock band The Replacements promised a reunion at this year's Riot Fest, and it has finally happened: The band played their first live show in 22 years last night in Toronto. Founding members Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson were accompanied by guitarist Dave Minehan and drummer Josh Freese in the Fort York grounds, where they played for a crowd of 10,000 eager fans. This is the first time the band has played together since a Fourth of July event in Chicago's Grant Park in 1991.

Despite the two decade absence, the Replacements haven't lost any of their energy or fun on stage antics. They played 23 songs spanning their career, and you can see videos of 5 of them in the playlist above. You can also listen to audio of the entire 75 minutes gig below, and check out download links on the Replacements - Live Archive Project Facebook page.

The band is set to play two more dates with Riot Fest next month: On September 15th they will play in Chicago, and September 21st they will be in Denver. You can still get tickets for the Chicago and Denver performances on the official Riot Fest website.
