My favourite song that always stood out for me. I grew up with this song and it helped me so much to go through the difficult times and still stay up above the water. It takes a courageous person and a sincere soul to write and sing this way. Thank you so much for sharing this live version and for the memories!
This song is off the charts. It has the painful clarity of good thought and poetry: "A world gone mad, I like it like that and I know it. ....ugly and sweet...that's what keeps me down.."..Let's not kid ourselves or blame any one else...THANK you R.E.M., and you for posting this monument of a song.
Though their later tour/studio drummer was skilled, he just never manages to capture the same piercing clarity of Berry's best drumming. Ugh, anything to hear him playing this live with them...
I love this song. I kinda wish the video had better audio and captured the background music in more depth. I'm not sure if it's a result of the video compression, or the original live recording, or a combination of the two. But oh well. There's always the album version :P
