Not Ready for Prime Time: Live at the Cabaret Metro documents a concert by American rock band The Replacements at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago on January 11, 1986. The show took place in the same week as the band's infamous television appearance on Saturday Night Live, to which the title refers. The recording captures the original lineup around singer Paul Westerberg and guitarist Bob Stinson in the period surrounding the 1985 album Tim. The set includes performances of songs such as 'Bastards of Young', 'I Will Dare' and 'Unsatisfied', alongside various covers. The recording previously appeared as part of the expanded edition of Tim and was released in 2024 as a standalone archival live document.
