I don't wish that. You know how hard that is on the artist? R.E M. Is too amazing to force touring... They really weren't a tour band anyway. They were an ATHENS Georgia band... College town... They played for the town...
Im 64 and have seen 100s of bands live --- all the very best bands in the world, zep, stones, floyd, tull, bowie, prince, springsteen, petty, pearl jam, radiohead-- you name it I've seen them, and REM is as good a live show as good gets. One of the all time greats!!!!!!!!!!
I have loved REM and Michael Stipe from the beginning. I miss them horribly! I know all good things come to an end, but it just seems like these years have come too soon
Mike Mills missed the auctioneer is "such a creep" backing vocals, and he and Stipe are laughing through the song. Especially just after the missed vocal, and at the ending of the song. They were having a good time.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 He worked regularly with R.E.M. following the retirement of Bill Berry in 1997. He was a member of King Crimson from 2013 until his death in 2020
That show is at the Olympia IN Dublin. Although it is. "NOT A SHOW." You'll have to listen to get that inside joke. But the open with harborcoat and that is fantastic!
I heard this song not too long ago and realized I don't own it. But it sounds like I've heard it before. This is the real REM sound. I think they used to play it live before the even released Murmur and that's where I know it from.
R.E.M as poppy as they sound habe always been punk in my eyes. Always were a TRUE LIVE band. No lip singing. No auto tune voice over. No big drama show when they perform. If they sound good they sound good. If they sound bad they sound bad. That's punk it gets
@@beemail6983 not punk rock. But punk as in they don't give a fuck about selling out and changing for money. They won't dress how the industry wants them to. They won't sing the songs the industry wants. They have punk ethics as in do it your own way fuck the money fuck the fame.
