Peter looks like he's having so much fun - I miss those high energy performances from him. And Michael, bless his heart...I'm not sure he even knows where he is. Cracks me up! Really enjoyed this whole show.

[@kenin8627]

Thanks for posting. Saw him sing this in San Francisco 1984. Awesome memories

[@Jammerkevin]

I love this cut. Haven't heard it in years. I had a bootlegged cassette of this show.

[@2degucitas]

I think Michael Stipe is a bit stoned here. Buck gets to showcase his talent.

[@rexodiego]

[@edwardrobinson8713]

This is an awesome version. The comments below just make me like it even more! They had talent to burn.

[@a1950hotrodcat]

[@Katshuri]

Umm... I promise he's good sober...

[@JackKnight762]

@rockweaver Stipe talked in some interviews about his addiction to Quaalude (barbiturates? not sure) some shit they banned in the late 80s--he said if they hadn't outlawed it he'd've been dead in a few years...

[@OropherThranduil]

a bit??? ok,,,,

[@steerhead9]

1985... ooh, I bet Michael's not too proud of this one... But, like most things - he got better with age.

[@DjMagnificien]

good guitar poor singer

[@DjMagnificien]

he is really drunk, and this version sucks -end of conversation-

[@caprirosso3]

You have zero idea what you're talking about! 😂 Even 14 years on.
