[@delby66]

What a brilliant band with one of the best frontman of all time.

[@katalinhartai3977]

So true!! 😊🥰

[@june6387]

Agree!❤

[@davidmurray2539]

Nothing and no one can compare

[@aislinnoreilly]

So glad I skipped school to go to this :) Memories

[@madyogi6164]

You definitely won on this one!

[@aaronhume5335]

My children reminisce about this concert, pulled them from school for this

[@nateriley4067]

Now that's great parenting! Seriously, some days you just have to say "Fuck it", this is more important than another day of school. That's why your kids will idolize you for the week and will always remember that day. Great job!

[@june6387]

Agree! Your bond with your children must be ❤

[@mariekatherine5238]

You make me feel old!

[@adamcoe]

Your kids are lucky to have a parent who recognizes how much you can learn outside the classroom. You're a goddamn beauty and more parents should be like you.

[@johnmarshall7703]

I love that i was lucky enough ti be there with one of my best friends Doug B. I will always love you❤️❤️❤️

[@bichettevirgino6664]

Ce mix est excellent Mike est souriant et très beau je l'adore toujours et de plus en plus 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@carmeldoherty]

What an amazing concert wish I had been there Michael has an incredible voice and wonderful back up band 💖💖💖

[@nativeofnc]

Uh…..that is his band….just a few extras added.

[@seanwinkel8890]

I saw them many times, starting in 1985, and they were never ever less then captivating.

[@GrahamHarvey-g7x]

Rem , simple, one of the best groups ever, they were fantastic

[@Gonzax]

What an incredible performer Stipe was, fantastic!

[@cabinboy15]

My first R.E.M. show....snuck out of work for this one.

[@bichettevirgino6664]

Je ne supporte pas la disparition de ma Maman mais grâce à lui je sors un peu de mon chagrin.merci Mike je t'aime 💖💖💖

[@acercade439]

the best of the year 2021. R.E.M's songs and Michael Stipe's voice and smile.

[@katalinhartai3977]

That wink and smile he gave, after, "That was the rain honey" 😉😉😃🤣🤭❤️❤️❤️🤗🥰🤣😍 Love IT!!! ❤❤🥰😍😍😍😃

[@squirrelbutler2119]

2001....

[@themusic5229]

It's weird how nostalgia can make you feel happy and sad all at once 🥰

[@seanwinkel8890]

That's literally what the word means- the pain of remembering

[@cowleysbein9002]

It's not only nostalgia. First it's REM but it was ;-)

[@alternateleavescounseling7866]

Well said!

[@anthonydownie4055]

Ahhh good old melancholy nostalgia

[@dottiespurlock3113]

I just SMILE 😶 everytime I see HIM and the BAND!! LOVE YOU GUY'S!!!!

[@grahamdebling6280]

I am a big fan from the UK and was lucky enough to see them about 20 years ago, headlining Glastonbury. Amazing band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bichettevirgino6664]

Il me fait plus de bien que mes anxiolytiques merci Mike💝💝💝💝💝

[@jimzafiriou7808]

Amazing street concert, can't believe it was 20 years ago, REM rock!

[@dermotgodfrey1454]

Michael, Mike ,Peter ,Scott ,Ken and Joey! What a unit!

[@BrettLee0]

They dont make 'em like this anymore. Great band.

[@arricammarques1955]

Back when the future held so much promise. Micheal feeds the multitude.

[@dawnindusk5]

This was fun, stumbled upon this wandering in Toronto.

[@annb1]

I think people these days forget how big they were......from the 80's all the way up to this time..HUGE!

[@debjones60]

I’m watching this 8am on 18th May 2021 in Australia and all this time later, the music is epic. Love this band. 🙏🏼🥰

Great energy in this show. They're having a blast -- thanks for uploading. I'm American but grew up near the border -- spent my teenage years going back and forth between Buffalo and TO. Miss it to this day. Love you Canada! And love you REM!

Live in Toronto and have made my fair share of road trips to Buffalo for live music.

R.E.M I LOVE YOU❤❤❤

[@ThomasBaxter]

Came down there on my lunch break from King and Jarvis. Being a small dude, I weaseled my way past Shuter, kinda close.. ish. Great show. One of those Toronto memories, cuz everyone was nice... and standing dead still ;)

[@normatible9795]

Very lucky you!!

[@mariekatherine5238]

REM at the peak of their career, but Michael’s music continues undeterred. No Time For Love Like Now, excellent.

[@kasunlee7489]

OMG 2001, the best days of my life, and this was happening. 🧡

[@josephpereira75]

Was there. Stipe rules!

[@aleksvento]

The best R.E.M.❤❤❤!

[@lone_camper_001]

This was an awesome concert, I was there and then saw them again in Dublin in 2002 (I think or maybe 2003?) I still tell people about the version of “end of the world” loved it 👌👍

[@df5295]

I love Toronto!

[@RacerPaul3]

This may have been their best show ever

[@madyogi6164]

Try Tourfilm.

[@StratsRUs]

You know how many dates they played in their life. Thousands no doubt.

[@luciahelenagandolfioliveir8792]

Amo vc Stip, que voz maravilhosa.

[@Richard_Gatecliffe_Photography]

What a treat this gig must have been. Top marks to REM and lucky Canada.

[@mariekatherine5238]

I so wanted to go to this concert, but I had to work. I was living in northern NY just across the St. Lawrence from Ontario, a few hour’s drive from Toronto. Less than three months later, free access to Canada would be a thing of the past after 9-11.

[@patriciarogers922]

[@anaclaudiasilvasantos938]

Que banda maravilhosa 🎉😊

[@wendishelton2049]

I will always 💕 this adorable little man 🤩

[@mr3745]

The guy at the end cracks me up. Michael Stipe tosses him the mic for last chorus of the last song of the encore, their most rollicking anthem. The crowd is going nuts but he politely checks first: "Would you like me to sing?"

[@anamariaestanislaafernande3892]

Excelent..the bestband!!👍👏👏👏🇪🇬🌠

[@adamcoe]

just watched the 92 show from the 40 Watt and it led me to this. R.E.M. overload right now and I'm here for it. those of you that haven't heard/seen that show should do so immediately

[@andrewdouris6035]

I live10 mins away. Saw them in concert as early as the 80's at the masonic temple 888 Yonge street. which is also about a 10 min walk from where they did this. This was an epic day. I can see my condo in the background

[@katrinavang5862]

Miss this beautiful band😢

[@juniorvelasco]

All band fantastic, Stipe beautiful performance.

[@ARTHURNeeleman-ie9cm]

the songs country feedback,drive and at my most beutifull hase a great meaning for me

I formed a punk band in 1994 because of REM

[@danielalopez6656]

Uf!, lo que hubiera dado por haber estado ahi❤❤❤❤

[@StratsRUs]

The drummer's father signed REM Prince,Madonna , Red Hot Chili Peppers and Dire Straits to Warners and produced a ton too.

[@jt21788]

Joey Waronker?

[@StratsRUs]

People criticised him for speeding up the two times I saw this line-up.I thought he did great. ​@@jt21788

[@olafbigandglad]

@@jt21788 Yep. His father is Lenny Waronker.

Very few bands would do a FREE street concert for the public. Everyone is so greedy but we all have to eat.

[@seansellman6086]

That was a creative comment

[@fernandosolis5850]

Great!! There was a rumor in 2003 that circulated the full version of the concert that REM offered at Glastonbury 2003, if there is such a recording?

[@mariekatherine5238]

Yes, and I think portions of it are on KZbin. Sorry, I don’t know the site.

Love the band! Can't help sense though that some songs are lip synced...Too exact to recording. Thoughts from those who were there?

[@REMVideoArchive]

Thanks for the comment. For clarity, this was 100% live & is in no way lip-synced at all

[@normatible9795]

Why is the concert free?!???

[@SaintMartins]

It was filmed for a TV concert special for Canada's version of MTV. REM were paid lots of money to do this.

[@Matthew-yb6ux]

R.E.M. should've toured with the Tragically Hip

[@olafbigandglad]

I've thought that myself.
