R.E.M. - "The Great Beyond"

1999, promoting 'Man On The Moon soundtrack'
Gotta love the Stipe dancing at the end. He must really like that shirt, too.

This performance is fucking incredible. Michael's vocals are top notch

[@buzzcity01]

look at Peter Buck, still kicking it like he`s in his 20`s, priceless

[@davidodonnellfilm]

Michael Stipe - always ahead of his time

[@82gmccaballero]

I miss the 90s everyday. 😢💙

[@rogermurray8553]

Brillant group, brilliant performance. Haven't heard a drummer-driven song like this since the days of the great Keith Moon. This guy's amazing.

[@darenwilliams5858]

Drums were way overplayed . Not the REM style at all and the drummer ? keith Moon , he ain't

[@rogermurray8553]

What is "the REM style"? Their music was distinctive, orlginal and ever evolving, and many people would say there's a thin line between Moon overplaying and Moon soloing. The drumming here was enough to move Michael anyway and right on point with the energy of the song and lyrics. It would never occur to me that The Who are even in the same ballpark creatively as REM, both careers considered.

[@msoileau83]

It's touring/session drummer Joey Waronker at this point. Bill Berry had retired/quit/whatever before this. It's a decent drum track.

[@mikeydred11]

The drums are great.....Daren above is just a crankisaurus....

[@stevemarsan5381]

Thank You so much! My brother passed this week and hearing this song reminds me of him.

[@mikes6235]

[@benthomas6732]

Waronker clocked in early that day

[@jean-baptiste6479]

They were not playback fans... i rarely see them performing with playback

[@duckbrew]

The LAST great rem tune...period

[@mikerusso703]

duck brewster idiot

[@rogermurray8553]

Absolutely fake news, duck. Hope that's not a roundabout way of admitting to severe hearing loss. "Leaving New York", "Uberlin", "I've Been High", just three of many since we left the last century.

[@deanrossetti8224]

The Lifting is just as good, if not better.

[@redadamearth]

No way, man. Tons of other greats followed this.
