R.E.M. - Can't Get There From Here (Raleigh 1985)

This is a concert I got a few years ago. It's pro shot and the sound isn't bad except the bass drum is kinda loud.

@DBRGroup I too discovered them like:late 80's early 90's. After that,i listened to their stuff while playing ultima underworld,and now i miss it and have nostalgia.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you... I love this band. I'm seeing them at Madison Square Garden in a couple of weeks and I can't wait... This footage was shot about the time I started following R.E.M. You gotta love the sound,their energy, and the obivious presence of Michael Stipe. Again, thanks for posting this soong.

I can't believe that's Peter playing a Tele!

Holy Cow! This is an incredible video. Looks like this is from the "Preconstruction" tour that took place at small venues, mostly colleges, prior to the release of Fables of the Reconstruction, when R.EM. was just about to explode. You can see that the audience had never heard this song before and you can see them slowly "get it" as the song builds to the final section. By the end, almost everyone is moving to the music. Great song and a great video that shows a key moment in music history.

Great song, so damn catchy!

[@DJName76]

I love how they all kind of look at each other at the end of it like, "Yeah, we crushed that."

@MARCHERET Why? After 1989, they kept on delivering great music as Out Of Time (1991), Automatic For The People (1992) and New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996) testified!
