So this was kind of a big deal. I made the correct decision in attending the Saturday show, even though I was a bit late & standing near the back of the venue. One of the coolest all-around nights of live music in a good long while. Sometimes I'm really glad I live here. http://www.wweek.com/music/2018/01/08/a ... day-night/ |

I've been enjoying an old bootleg I forgot I had from the Up tour called 'No Central Rain'. There is a great version of Everybody Hurts on it, with a pretty intense ending that's definitely not there on the album version. There is also a really good version of Lotus. That song was an instant favorite when I listened to 'Up' (when we had the draft REM tournament), and that album in general is pretty great. |

I love REM but they were much better in the studio than live. Live good, studio great. |

I had an absolute blast both times I saw R.E.M. play. Although the first time I'll admit that I was a little overwhelmed as it was my first ever concert and I'd built these guys up to be musical gods in my mind way back then |

They played a lot of New Adventures which made me happy. Saw them again right before Accelerate came out and was underwhelmed. They played 15 songs, 9 of which were on the new album. I wish I would have seen that Monster tour. |

They were the one band left that I really, really wanted to see for a while. My wife and I almost bought tickets on a whim a bunch of years ago, and then decided we would wait until next time instead. They split up shortly after that. |

Was just giving Collapse into Now a spin earlier - what a great fucking band these guys were. It's a shame we're not going to get any new music from them |
