R.E.M. Talk About The Passion

R.E.M. from the best of the I.R.S. years video collection

[@steverok67]

Absolutely love the sound of Berry and his drums on this one.

[@caryheuchert]

REM changed the direction of music in the 80s. A great band!

[@Bends95]

This song sounds great live..love Peter Buck’s guitar tone here!

[@peterbuckisgod]

They just sound incredible... the way Michael changes the harmony @2.32 is beautiful and gets me every time. Perfect performance of a perfect song.

[@williamlanders740]

I LOVE that part!

[@subwaygoddess1]

@Denise McCaffrey, I love that part too! I keep trying to make out the lyrics there, because I love to sing R.E.M. songs. The great thing about their lyrics is that the band said the lyrics change all the time, so I can just sing what I think I’m hearing. ✌️🎶

[@johnolson5538]

This slightly faster, heavier, stripped version is amazing!

[@utonesfan]

This song has become a guitar classic

[@williamlanders740]

One of the greatest songs performed by Americas Best Band

[@AntiHoplophobia]

OMG Michael Stipe with his youth and his hair! And Mike Mills is just adorable.

[@Duxydogs]

...ya gotta love the sound of the Rickenbacker ..

[@greensombrero3641]

it's great I agree....works so well in the right style and in the right hands - think Byrds etc.

[@javieuvi]

Quien se haya escuchado toda la discografía de REM, puede afirmar que esta es la mejor de todas... I love R.E.M.

[@REMChicagoBoy]

Michael is gorgeous in this clip. :-)

[@subwaygoddess1]

Happy 41st Anniversary to Murmur ❤

[@adonaylima1]

Caramba, nem parece ao vivo 😍

[@microbus99]

One of my favorite REM songs of all time. Of course I like all of them but here they are on video!! Enjoy!

[@bjorn2run]

Another favorite from one of the best albums ever.

[@scottpierce68]

Best pick hand in rock n roll...... Peter or Johnny Marr, it's a toss up

[@CONSIDERABLYMORE1]

you're a tosser

[@tommyrock69]

I first met them during this time. Nice guys. It was a great time back then.

[@dioramaamaroid]

Gracias, gracias, gracias!!!!

[@davidbeverly6411]

The UK had The Smiths, USA had REM.....

[@johnbright8180]

So true! Both bands were unique and blessed with great melodic guitarists and poignant songwriters. Bravo to REM and the Smiths. The 80's would have been lousy without these bands. Bring back melody ❤

[@garyhoutz1540]

They are way too cool for the preppy audience.

[@patriciamays8244]

Preppie went out a long time ago at most all universities. Who do you paid for them anyway?

[@danjsy]

Ah, the great unmoved Tube audience. It was unmissable Friday night TV until Jools Holland advised "all you groovy fuckers" to watch. Exit stage left...

[@MaRiAnOrEm]

La voz de michael en esta canción es simplemente impresionante.

[@anacristinasilva3254]

BRASIL I LOVE R.E M THE BEST

[@Jaquableu]

[@TheFoxhound0032]

So true

[@kckstnd8]

[@Arkantozero]

[@user-gz9jj3kq6l]

[@matthew71314]

Greetings all you DiSTIPEals!!

[@jeffcobb2734]

In their early days, they sounded a lot like Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers when they played live.

[@williambonney92]

not eveybody can carry the weight of the world

[@sloppy_hand]

Buck's seems to be playing a six stringer here... there's another live video where he plays the 12er, much closer to the studio version, sounds cooler to my ears

[@mnhynes]

@jodysoldman "Empty prayer, empty mouths..."

[@rad0dar]

was wearing a hoodie for a television appearance even a thing in 83/84?

[@josepvmarin]

Does someone knows where was this clip recorded?

[@peaeater1]

I certainly do... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tube_(TV_series)

[@jodysoldman]

what are they talking about?

[@patriciodaniel4462]

jodysoldman passion

[@xxjoeyladxx]

Hunger.

[@GALILEAClaudiaCeaCruz]

The mouths are the WORDS ... and they must be emptied ... but the mouths will not be empty because they speak of HUNGER, nor are the words empty because they are reciting a LITANY. Mouths and prayers must be emptied of YOU ... just as CHRIST emptied himself on the CROSS. Check what you know about Christianity, CHRISTIAN ... because I am not a Christian and yet I have heard of this ... in my school of nuns. ----------------------------------- Christians ... if you really are, your prayers and words should always be emptied of yourselves ... in the manner of the KENOSIS OF CHRIST on the cross HOW LONG DO YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IT?
