My favourite REM song and my favourite live performance of it. Michael Stipe dancing on stage? YES.

[@jardorocks]

I lost a true friend today. And I'm crying.

[@Sam-yl2dd]

sorry for your loss

[@detesrece4]

my high-school memories ❤

[@markus3569]

Excellent music, audience behaving civilly, band members dressed normally, without ridiculous choreography, simply playing the music... rare things to see at shows these days.

[@aldeayeah]

Michael blue himself though

[@sidpheasant7585]

The Holy Spirit is powerful when giving signs, even if the world belongs to the D*v*l (1 John 5:19 - and of course the above song).

[@fabricioluishaas352]

O tempo passa e o REM não perde seu valor em unir belas canções e temas fundamentais de nossas vidas.

[@normasmith937]

I think both him and his music are just Great.❤

[@thomasedmundrichards]

REM isn’t a him, it’s a collective of four fantastic musicians

[@normasmith937]

Sorry did not know, learn something new every day.

we should have REM back

[@tsedubgyatso]

Yes. Yes we should

[@slagcity]

No, they did the right thing. Music should be special, no greed.

[@thomasedmundrichards]

They were brilliant but I think sometimes it’s better to bow out at the top rather than fade away

[@user-yy2sh7oq1w]

thanks ☺

[@sodaboj9074]

Lame crowd, this song for live 8 should have been euphoric

[@user-uj3zk2cx8t]

Not a fan of Stipe's politics and antics, but can't deny good music when heard

[@kyleericson9777]

Never understood what Stipe was going for during this period with the face paint or dyed eyebrows … thought he just looked silly and it took away from some great music.🤔

[@JesusAlleineRettet]

Quote: Michael Stipe uses his eccentric stage make-up as a mask because he's terrified of revealing his true personality. The REM frontman, famed for his colourful face paints, admits it covers a "basic insecurity" and hates being photographed without it. He reveals, "I still carry the same insecurities and inadequacies that everyone carries and there is a vulnerability that prevents me becoming some disgusting global pop star".

[@sadiesleepwalker646]

How paint mask can take the quality of music if it still stays great?..

[@RLjuancarlos]

REM is more than a "rock band" that`s all i can say.

[@ChiSportsNut18]

​@@JesusAlleineRettetThere's so many videos of him performing without it.

[@nichilistamilitante6418]

Pendant with the shirt.

[@tinasailorportugal3114]

His voice sounds so bad here. 😢
