R.E.M. - "Lotus"

1998, promoting 'Up'. Almost the full song...

Peter Buck. The most under rated guitarist of his generation

Best fucking version and performance of this song imho!!!!!

[@MrPokerian]

I love Michael's voice, Peter's pitch bending and Ken Stringfellow's dance behind the synth at the begining. This song is absolutely AWESOME!

[@neilmiller2474]

Fucking amazing tune. Whole band are awesome REM are timeless

[@Creaulx]

I say that every time I watch this. I remember being spellbound by this performance on Conan back in '98, but was disappointed in the album version. I would LOVE to find a full version if it even exists! Great Peter Buck riff - and keys! Michael's vocals are off the chart, Mike's bass line is killer groovy, and the drumming is in the pocket. You can just feel how pumped they were.

[@bobbelibob]

It may be their greatest song... ever.

[@mpdalyful1]

They opened thier landsdown rd concert with this

[@Skipidy720]

not by a long shot

[@chiefscheider]

2:37 Peter trying to keep it together after catching a glimpse of Michael's weirdness

[@illaria007]

My thoughts also!😂😂

[@joycehall4866]

I'm sure he's seen a lot over the years. 😁

[@shtevcorpse6392]

They are constantly having little in-joke moments on stage during every performance, particularly this one. At 2:53, you can hear Michael almost lose it with laughter, very soon after his little moment with Peter.

[@knownpleasures]

Back then one of them was as weird as the other!! 😂

[@sashwap]

[@thesanfordmethod1905]

Band is incredible, not a weak link ever, this drummer's good all the drummers are after Bill Berry retired, but miss Bill Berry's musiciainship too.

[@deadletteroffice-atributet3261]

Groovy!

[@gusfernanddes]

What a great band!

[@knownpleasures]

Man this is trippy

[@dramaticpickles]

The keyboard chords are amazing

[@ladyhonor822]

NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER 📔

[@cabeloDoPardal2]

2:52 what happened?

[@MilesBellas]

cuts off too soon

[@dermotgodfrey1454]

Mike Mills on record as saying that he hated playing this live!

[@KM-zw9qb]

weird really because it translates well live and is easily superior to the studio version

[@fredh1720]

Where did you read/see that if you don't mind me asking?
