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.

[@aislinnoreilly]

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

[@delby66]

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

[@katalinhartai3977]

So true!! 😊🥰

[@june6387]

Agree!❤

[@RacerPaul3]

This may have been their best show ever

[@dottiespurlock3113]

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

[@bichettevirgino6664]

What an incredible performer Stipe was, fantastic!

[@johnmarshall7703]

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

[@seanwinkel8890]

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

[@cabinboy15]

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

[@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....

[@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.

[@josephpereira75]

Was there. Stipe rules!

[@mariekatherine5238]

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

[@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

[@robertojorgedandrea]

R.E.M I LOVE YOU❤❤❤

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 💖💖💖

[@debjones60]

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

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

[@zazubombay]

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!

[@cabinboy15]

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

[@gigisasz4580]

Man o man does their two biggest hits speak me crying’ deep down in my soul and to NOW!! We so. Need you guys back RIGHT NOW in the US!! Please🙏

[@rossellacasati4383]

Memorabili, strepitosi, ineguagliabili, assoluti, mitici e MERAVIGLIOSAMENTEUNICI ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ledatape]

If this doesnt leave you with a smile on your face i cant help you... what a mindblast! so glad i could be there.. cheers for uploading! respect!

[@kasunlee7489]

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

[@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 👌👍

[@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!!

[@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.

[@wendishelton2049]

I will always 💕 this adorable little man 🤩

[@patrickdolynskyj4998]

I think it was the best concert of them!

[@arricammarques1955]

Michael feeds the multitude : )

[@dawnindusk5]

This was fun, stumbled upon this wandering in Toronto.

[@xXPyrophorusXx]

I was there!

[@df5295]

I love Toronto!

[@remtrader106]

I was there and loved it!

[@valeriaparreiras1325]

Love!!!❤❤❤

[@jaquemend305]

I formed a punk band in 1994 because of REM

[@annb1]

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

[@anamariaestanislaafernande3892]

Excelent..the bestband!!👍👏👏👏🇪🇬🌠

[@ARTHURNeeleman-ie9cm]

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

[@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

[@elisasantiago8245]

Muy bueno mi REM d lujo y la nostalgia a oírlos yega❤️❤️

[@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

[@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?

[@marialuciasilvaoliveira2558]

Fantastic!

[@gracavieirasilva7749]

[@juniorvelasco]

All band fantastic, Stipe beautiful performance.

[@lorrainecavacolligan6760]

GREAT LOVE THE SOUNDS . CAVA T

[@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?"

[@patriciarogers922]

The best of the best!

[@patriciarogers922]

Love to hear michael sing!

[@patriciarogers922]

But your all good thanks!

[@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.

[@leninha329]

Maravilhos ❤️🌻 Stip perfeito ❤️🌻❤️

[@franksinbeans1755]

Nice JIB!

[@isabelcalpanchay500]

[@vincentforonda7381]

Those days toronto is better in the 90's to early 2000's.

[@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.

[@christophstolzenburg7850]

[@josephpereira75]

Also Buck!

Rapid Eye Movement a better name for this band is not found rem we love your music

[@june6387]

[@Matthew-yb6ux]

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

[@jeffchapman9661]

smoking some hash in Toronto that day

[@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.

[@seansellman6086]

Great show… director never directed music lol…

[@ARTHURNeeleman-ie9cm]

NOT the REM of IRS

[@pedroeugenio9799]

24:54 2024🎉😂😂😂

[@bryanwest2509]

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

[@JasminDojoles]

Anyway anyone knows the wife of michel?

[@mariekatherine5238]

Thomas Dozol, a photographer and artist. Michael is gay, came out a long time ago.

really for me personally, the only two songs worth listening to are the last...but of course i'm older...reppin the front end of genX. mainly i'm not interested in anything after michael without hair.

[@petermichael4762]

!*and man all in me is deuhst and

[@kayodeolowomeye6688]

Definitely not 2001 . I was there Must have been 2003

[@REMVideoArchive]

This show was 100% 2001 👍

[@thelouderyouscream]

maybe you were there in 2003 but it seemed a bit quiet, not many people around.....?

[@mariekatherine5238]

Nope. This was definitely in May of 2001. I took up a temporary residence, a room in a private home for a six week consultation job in St. Lawrence County, NY. I was unable to attend this event because of work, something I came to regret. Just pre 9-11, it was the last time regular New Yorkers could drive casually between the US and Canada without a passport or any special license.

[@michaelwolter6076]

The Concert four days before in Cologne in front of 80000! was better.
