A couple weeks back, the Replacements returned to the NBC studios after a 30-year ban to perform as the musical guests on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Now, in the midst of a reunion tour, the band treated its New York audience to a live rendition of the Jackson 5 classic "I Want You Back" over the weekend.

Crowd-shot footage of the cover has emerged, so fans who weren't at the show can see the Minneapolis alt-rockers take on the Motown tune. Unsurprisingly, Paul Westerberg and co. put a grittier, rocked-out spin on it, which you can hear for yourself below.
