EXCLU : R.E.M et Patti Smith : "E-Bow the Letter" (Live in New York)

[@maureencourtney8275]

I was privileged enough to be a part of this audience

[@PakeyWakey]

Don't care, and neither should I.

[@claudiaa.3843]

You can't imagine how much I hate you (sarcasm)...

[@JonathanFiller-j6g]

Ah, I'm so jealous! What a performance!

[@petejones879]

Wow... I love you and I want to have your babies

[@meisenmen]

what club was that?

[@allisonmessing4262]

One of my very favorite, underrated songs ever, in my 56 years of loving music...

[@lorenzosegote]

Hell to the yes.

[@davidkaner5000]

If people don’t get Michael Stipe’s genius by now, then they missed a generational talent that few will ever fly near his atmosphere

[@johnscott1579]

Exactly genius musician glad others see his amazing talent his music content is so powerful it can move the world if people would listen. I'm just glad I grew up in this era none other close.

[@kriskisbulck786]

And you are obviously chosen to understand it. Lol. Dumb twat.

[@nbinns999]

This is one of the best REM performances I've ever seen. Absolutely love it

[@saraivatoledo1842]

What about ...: " this is one of the best REM performances I´ve ever seen cause the backing vocals are so strong that it hijacks the song along ." . Not much into what Patti Smith does but does she shine in this context .

[@debjones60]

When Michael Stipe sings, there is NO one else in the world. Such a talent and a showman and to see him sing his song with his Idol Patti Smith, well it just doesn’t get any better. One of my favourite REM songs.

[@maramarxx2431]

I'm reading Mtrain, the latest book of Patti Smith. And it's full of meaning, as you said of Stipes'.

[@joliecide]

The fact that this track is a tribute to River Phoenix makes it even more mind blowing.

[@petejones879]

@@joliecide I didn't know that thank you

[@recentiy03]

@@joliecide wow never knew that after listening 30+ times, gotta read the lyrics now.

[@jeddyimposter]

Check out all of those young people *not* addicted to their phones and not ruining the concert by mediating their direct experience of the present moment through a stupid device, for the sake of bragging about it later to their "friends" on social media, which didn't exist yet. Oh, the good ol' days.

[@ArkadianDream]

Look at Michael nodding along and smiling to himself during Patti's parts. It just makes my heart happy man

[@karinhorne1125]

Ohne Euch hätte ich diese Zeit nicht geschafft. Tausend Küsse

[@0037kevin]

I remember when this first aired, i recorded it on VHS. Thank god for youtube, otherwise I wouldve never seen it again. Thanx for the upload.

[@pablojara67]

Me too man, great song,

[@neilgraham433]

Man I miss R.E.M.

[@bryanfleck984]

Why they are still around I'm sure they will play another tour and they will live on in my speakers always on my play list

[@ThiagodMoraes]

We all do ,they helped to shape modern music in a lot of ways,amazing band!!

God I love this band,song can't quit listening to it 😢it's hits so different in my ❤️

[@Proud_Texan]

P.⚡. Has a most unique vocal quality. I remember hearing this song on the radio driving home from work, I IMMEDIATELY recognized her.

[@long-boardinguk3358]

Patti Smith is effortlessly cool and ‘E-Bow The Letter’ is one of REMs best songs. A lyrical masterpiece from Michael Stipe. I can’t think of a better song to listen to in the dead of night, 3am.

[@filispinecek]

Oh man, look at that. This video is my personal corner of pure joy. 😌

[@celebratelife8436]

Best duo ever👏👏❤

[@dirkrichter1773]

These track was my. Funeral song .....definitly. amazing song.

[@Zeupater]

Amazing. I have been fortunate to see both live. This show must be quite a memory.

[@stefany826]

REM had some of the most legendary collaborations with other musicians. Patti Smith , Neil Young , Thom Yorke.. I’m sure I’m missing a bunch . Michael Stipe was never hesitant to share the stage , and how lucky we are to have these recordings ❤️

[@sabineschmidt1035]

and Natalie Merchant 😍

[@Radrugan]

That's the rock'n'roll, that's the true art, that's the one of my favorite songs performed by my favorite musicians.

[@GabrielaD2006]

I love this song

[@jonathanhemming]

One of top two favourite songs performed by not one of my favourite musicians. This song is incredible.

[@dietmarfelder9341]

Repeat a thousand times ❤

Love how much Michael Stipe seems to respect Patti!

[@pinablake9248]

the way he looks at her....love them both so much!

[@bethharris629]

bdedsb is

[@teresabeatriz1]

So sweet!

[@scottab140]

The song is written in the same style of Patti Smith, poetically. The song was inspired by her and is about her, IMO. Patti Smith also wrote "Smells like Teen Spirit" covers by some band called... Nirvana.

[@baguette3000-V2]

yes. smart guy

[@Yong_Goh]

R.E.M has a huge catalog of music.... and tho this came out quite later in their career, E Bow may just be their magnum opus

[@seanwinkel8890]

one of my favorite later-period REM tunes.

[@pspoker5513]

Shoutout Peter Buck you legend. He left his signature on almost every song with such perfection. He so perfectly compliments Michael here (as does Patti!).

[@mariedesbrumes]

Patti's voice is a spell

[@recentiy03]

The amazing thing about Michael is it doesn't matter the song he's adored with the music

[@marcozoncu3893]

This song has an incredibile amount of retained energy

[@hundredsand]

E-bow the Letter. Unforgettable song.

[@johnunderwood3140]

Tears in my eyes and it hasn't started yet

[@pamzavada5269]

Thanks Patti for getting me through again. Thanks Michael.

[@user-io4jl4jx9q]

will never forget seeing these guys as an up-n-coming indie band playing at Rutgers University outside the Busch Campus Student Center among maybe 2500 student fans in Spring 1980. Shoutout to the 80s, REM and RU!!!!!

[@HuileEceite]

Oh the bass line, oh Patti and Michael, beautiful

[@petejones879]

The look of admiration Michael has for Patti is both priceless and wonderful

[@utube5165]

I love how fresh and bouncy Michael is here. What a singer!

[@petejones879]

Excellent song and patti magical as always

[@robertoc.dominguez6856]

Ojalá te miren como Michael mira a Patti xD. La capacidad de Stipe para recitar un texto en una canción y que quede encajado con esa perfección es increíble.

[@glzoidberg]

2 very beautiful artists. Love it.

Watch him look at her. He admires her. Beautiful!

Um espetáculo absurdo de riffs e vozes e presenças e carismas. Amo REM e MS. SMITH from Brazil 🎉

[@Nixter1974007]

Great song from a fabulous LP. I always did highly rate New Adventures. Terrific LP.

[@ikesweat8749]

It is their greatest album imho. And its debatable which record takes second, third, etc. I think Automatic then Up followed by Document and Reckoning... Murmurs Uberlin and Green get honorable mentions Shit, out of time okay, bye!

[@suesutton9226]

Its their best album I M H O

[@charlesbolton8471]

Nixter1974007 Up is my favorite R.E.M. album but New Adventures in Hi-Fi is definitely pretty high on my list. Oddly enough, for some reason I didn’t like it very much when it first came out. It has definitely grown on me over the years. I also like the under appreciated album Around the Sun.

[@Nixter1974007]

@@charlesbolton8471 Automatic For The People is my favourite album. Outstanding record.

Let me first say thanx to Utube yet again. Those mini "flags" we get on our browser about responses to previous comments has brought me back to this thread. It was over 2 years, and I could not recall the details of the feedback I received. Yet thankfully, it was of a nature that would bring me to add further to the effort of virtue so needed in present times. Truly. Talent....REM...Patty....Life and Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness....Keep the Checks and Balances forefront. And thus we shall move forward. Thank You.
