REM is the greatest thing since bread came sliced

I bet you stole that sentence from somewhere 🙂

hahahahahahahaahha best comment ever

[@peteharbour8058]

[@ranzarsingh]

Fuck you stole the comment

[@mrwolf1964]

This is a typical REM chord progression, timeless, class, the greatest band the USA has produced

[@vignolivoice]

TOTALLY

[@Rasmus186]

This song is magic. But not every song can be played live, with the same magic result.

[@lolsugar7408]

Bass player Mike Mills always impresses. Great, solid playing, good backing vocal support. He was the foundation upon which REM was built

[@macktravels68]

totally agree!! One of my favorites in music.

[@lorebern6538]

REM's John Paul Jones

[@MrGrassyNull]

Mills is always killing it

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

I know, right? He's playing his bass with a pick, such a rebel.

[@jeffjensen3441]

The band who is timeless for me...

[@tarheeldude26]

Absolutely love this band and have for a very long time. So sad they are no longer creating material.

[@sandjackal]

90s is a Dark transitioning decade but REM maintained its free spirited style ❤❤❤

[@artosborne4187]

You can tell how much the kids' comments meant to him. Also, Peter Buck is possibly the coolest man on the planet. Love how he plays with the open strings!

[@Duxydogs]

……the dinosaurs on PB’s amp are always there, go go Godzilla

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

He revolutionized alternative rock by playing arpeggios instead of traditional block chords on guitar.

[@kevintreacy1072]

This guy has a tremendous voice.

[@birdmantd]

Michael Stipe. Just your friendly neighborhood rock star.

[@rizalkheli374]

He is a poet.. timeless poet

[@bichettevirgino6664]

Mikael à un charisme fou une gestuelle qui n'appartient qu'à lui et qui envoûte les foules il est Génial incomparable humble super quoi!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rftulie]

Dig the kids at the end. I'm 65 and I'd probably act the same way if I got to meet Michael.

IMITATION OF LIFE Charades, pop skill Water hyacinth Named by a poet Imitation of life Like a koi in a frozen pond Like a goldfish in a bowl I don't want to hear you cry That sugarcane that tasted good That's cinnamon, that's hollywood Come on, come on No one can see you try You want the greatest thing The greatest thing since bread came sliced You've got it all You've got it sized Like a friday fashion show teenager Freezing in the corner Trying to look like you don't try That sugarcane that tasted good That's cinnamon, that's hollywood Come on, come on No one can see you try No one can see you cry That sugarcane that tasted good That's freezing rain, that's what you could Come on, come on No one can see you cry This sugarcane, this lemonade This hurricane, I'm not afraid Come on, come on No one can see me cry This lightning storm, this tidal wave This avalanche, I'm not afraid Come on, come on No one can see me cry That sugarcane that tasted good That's who you are, that's what you could Come on, come on No one can see you cry That sugar cane that tasted good That's who you are, that's what you could Come on, come on No one can see you cry

Verdade!

[@thehawk5967]

Michael Stipe proves a great rock singer can have lower register, but admittedly it's rare. Peter Buck, subtle guitar mastery

[@johnclark3697]

Just so GOOD.... Anybody else like this passing by??? Erm no i think not....

[@christianlacheze3323]

Epic song

[@BLAB-it5un]

Loved the interplay with the two boys at the end of the song. Love these little touches that only happen at live shows. REM was the best. Glad to have access to all these great memories.

[@user-uj3zk2cx8t]

I thought it was lame

[@benyoung4305]

Brilliant!

[@jaggass]

Around the mid 2000's Stipey started to sing the first 2 choruses of Imitation Of Life in a lower register as he found it difficult to sing like the studio version live.

[@Schmidtelpunkt]

Glad he did - autotune is like cosmetic surgery for the voice.

[@RC-fi8nn]

It kind of works, as there's a pay off when he sings the last choruses like the record.

[@jaggass]

@@RC-fi8nn It adds a bit of suspense too. I love all version of Imitation Of Life.

[@benyoung4305]

2.20. That's a beautiful moment!

Simon and Elliott are so lucky to have gotten to meet REM on stage during their concert. I so wish I could've seen them live.

The mix engineer for this concert was not so good. Its basically unplugged.

[@fredh1720]

2008 I think. It was promoting Accelerate and I don't think they did any live shows afterwards.

[@senorphilipe4242]

My favourite band of all time but a really flat performance

[@thenealdog5343]

yeah agreed

[@TheSPT]

They killed Living Well is the Best Revenge in this set, but agreed on this song, or at least the first half. It almost seemed like Michael realized something was off and had to get on the same page as Mike during the bridge.

[@davidallen346]

I dig it

[@pswinford8]

The sound is way off, causing them to all not feel confident in their performance

[@marcknightly9677]

REM ran out of decent lyrics and died. This is garbage. Old stuff is amazing.
