I'm from Washington...the first time I went to Minneapolis for a business trip I found myself wondering the skyway and this song was ringing in my ears. Never had such a big smile on my face.
I was at the show with long-time friends and Mat's followers....one of the most memorable days and nights...smoking cigs, drinking beer, talking trash and listening to the Replacements live. They tore the stadium down shortly after this gig....as well they shoukd.
I love how Paul is always dancing with his guitar. This is one of the few times I've seen a clean version of this with no lyric flubs. I think he would mess lyrics up on purpose in the past but this show it was all pretty straightforward. You had great seats !
...love how this audience-member's cam/cam-phone's audio captured the sound of the audience singing the lyrics along with Paul -- they know the words just as well as he does (a testament to how effective they are at capturing the intended mood)!!
I am looking forward to seeing the MATS in 3 days in Washington, DC....hopefully they play this classic and AlexChilton, unsatisfied, Bastard of Young and Kiss me on the Bus and 16 Blue and Androgynous
When you've been playing guitar since your adolescence (perhaps even pre-adolescence) like Paul has, it comes as second nature -- like breathing or walking.

Tom that's true. This was a real clean and accurate version of Skyway.
