R.E.M. - 10/02/85 Germany 11. Can't Get There From Here

[@InParticularNobody]

It still baffles me to this day, as to why I didn't attract any women whilst dancing like a 1985 Stipe in clubs.

[@dr.scanlan6112]

😂😂😂.

[@theshawnmurphyjournal2946]

Some of the coolest lyrics in rock history.

[@musicbrain5]

This is great! They're all amazing musicians, and Bill Berry is amazing, as always, in this performance. I think he was always very underrated in his musical abilities, and also as a drummer. I picked up the drums just to learn all of his parts lol!

[@cherrygarcia1845]

so dam good. buck and stipe are so into it and fun to watch. totally in tune

[@scottallison2296]

Brilliant madness from the lads of Atlanta Georgia

[@puredenizen]

*Athens

[@karanaman68]

@@puredenizen correct and thanks

[@REMchout]

I never tire of this song...I went to Philomath once because of this song...

[@JDfanboy1]

If I could pick any tour to see in their entire catalogue it would be this one. Either this one or the one the year before in 1984. These shows look like gold, so raw

[@joycehall4866]

Agreed!

[@marclayne9261]

Lyrics.....Poetry !!!

[@snowyparker1462]

Morrissey and Stipe could get along. I can tell ya that. R.E.M. at this performance feels so much like The Smiths its awesome.

[@nicks6813]

I saw them on this tour a few months earlier during the summer in Boston. Michael was wearing overalls and I vividly remember his blond hair - I don't remember his dancing though 🙂

[@eliriddell1699]

R.E.M. is the type of band you listen to while you sit down 😂😂😂 no disrespect though they're amazing

[@mrblisterfist]

"Tell me, testify !" Thank you so very very much for posting these videos.

[@cherrygarcia1845]

my favorite rem ever!!!

[@cagwa]

My second favorite R.E.M. song. Disco rock, not unlike what the Stones dabbled in.

[@REMchout]

That wasn't the one where they played Murmur and Green in sequence, was it? Oh I think that was Atlanta...I got that on tape. Yep, my friend and I drove 20 hours straight to see Athens.

[@Psykel]

Yeah, it's a 12-string. Looks like the old Roger McGuinn signature Rickenbacker 340/12, I know Peter owns one.

[@hillaryskunt5934]

Amazing.

[@rocom]

Incredibly awesome

[@Nigelxman]

What's with this half dead crowd? Had REM just not hit in Germany at all at this time? German crowds are usually great.

[@905if6was9]

I've watched this 100 times--great video. 1985 in Germany was a universe apart from 45 years earlier in Germany. 1940 Germany stood on top of the world. Soon they would invade the Soviet Union (Russia), and nearly finish it. People who behaved in any way similar to Michael Stipe would not have lasted 10 minutes in that Germany. Germany has come a long, long way. We Americans could learn a thing or two from them.

[@demetrios4voto]

well thank u very much mr remchout!!

[@catkisser]

@infernus44 "White Boy Funk"?? I totally disagree. I think this is REM through and through and I love this song.

[@slamegarobinson]

best band ever

[@09nob]

@infernus44 it's supposed to be ironic and not taken to seriously, like various other REM tracks Shiney Happy People?

[@remnrone]

why in the name of Jebediah doesent peter use the 360

[@jamierennie9099]

Mr Suit & Tie...!

[@jimizappa]
