Mat's Virtual Tour

2215 Bryant. Bob and Tommy's house - one of the early places the Mats practiced.

Here's the same house on the cover of "Let It Be". (Image courtesy of and copyright Daniel Corrigan)

Another view this time a painting found hanging in a Cheapo Records. The painting is about 6 feet wide. I'm not sure who painted it.

Dan Corrigan sent me this. I'm guessing this was taken just before or soon after the Let It Be cover.

The record store where Paul Westerberg gave the Replacement's demo tape to Pete Jesperson.

Right across the street is the CC Club. The Mat's home away from home and the inspiration for "Here Comes a Regular".

The former site of various bars the Mats and their fans hung out in. Oh but isn't it much nicer as a parking lot? <sigh>

Here's what that block looked like prior to becoming a parking lot. (Image courtesy of and copyright Daniel Corrigan)

Where they performed so many times over the years.

Another place they performed alot. Bob and Tommy's mom worked here for many years.

Somewhere around here is where the famous photograph of the Mats on the traintracks was taken.

"Up in the skyway/high above the busy little one-way" And BTW - a block up on the left is where Mary Tyler Moor threw her beret in the air at the beginning of her show.

Bob Stinson's memorial bench. Somebody scratched the word "BOB" into the back of the bench and there's a plaque dedicated to "Robert Stinson" from his friends and family.

Twintone records...where it all happened. Well most of it anyway. Except this isn't really where it happened because they only moved into this building a few years ago. Their former office was about three blocks away across from a Vietnamese restaurant.

A poster of the Replacements on the wall of Garage D'or in Minneapolis. A few of these posters were created for the appearance on SNL. I believe this particular one was grabbed off the SNL set by Pete Jesperson.

Blackberry Way studios. Where "Let It Be" and "Sorry Ma" were both recorded. When I took this the sound of drums was coming out of the upstairs window so apparently music is still done there.

In case you want to visit some of these spots yourself.
