R.E.M. - Camera live Syracuse 10/17/83 (audio) 

this is rare! this is what you tube does so well. my favourite album, one of my favourite songs - i also like 'good advices' and 'seven chinese brothers' and several hundred others....

Camera was always and probably still is my favorite REM song.

One of my favorite from them. Amazing album.

my favorite too..nothing touches this one.

Thanks for posting! I was at this show. There was a really long wait between Let's Active and R.E.M. Apparently Michael Stipe had hurt his eye. When REM finally took the stage, Stipe was wearing an eye patch and carrying a bottle of whiskey. He cursed out Syracuse's hospitals, the crowd cheered and the show started. Do you have any other audio from this show?

This is my all time fave REM song. I miss the 80's and being in Athens, Ga.....except I go to all the UGA home football games so I'm still a part there lol.

I was just watching 'How I Met Your Mother', and a song hit a note that reminded me of this song. So cool.

Reminds me of the sweet friend who turned me on to R.E.M. R.I.P. Jorge. "If I would be your camera, then who would be your face?"

The beauty shines through

Wonderful

awesome...vey nostalgic....so beutiful

If I was at a party and someone played this, I've have a new best friend. I don't know I can say that about a lot of things.

@misterhumble good story. I do indeed have a cassette of the whole show.

Ma chanson préférée d'REM :-)

Yay old REM

I thought it was "a bartered lantern borrowed"?

Is this the show where either Pete breaks a string or the power goes out during Radio Free Europe? There's like a ten minute pause, then they erupt back into the song from exactly where they stopped.

allright now people

These guys were special. Until Bill left.
