REM always sounds amazing live! Also Michael's orange monobrow is a beautiful and loving tribute to the much missed Bill Berry.

[@petecampbell6117]

@@beefsoda1 Bill Berry says in an interview that if he lived in a big city as a young man, he would have likely plucked and separated the unibrow - but in the small town he grew up in, that would have been the height of vanity and therefore unthinkable!

I'm not allowed to bring an actual CAMERA into many venues, (I do have my ways though). I have more than 1,000 concert shots from early '70s thru '90s! Never got in the way of other concert-goer's. Even able to be invited into the orchestra pit! But now "people" with their shit-phones can mess up the audience's enjoyment of the show. WTF. I guess I've gotten too old.

[@billcook4768]

Back in 1985 REM toured Germany (er West Germany back then.) Michael actually had platinum hair back then. The band kicked ass, but the crowd clearly had no idea wtf they were listening to. If you watch videos from that tour, Michael gets pissed at the dead crowds. And here😮 they are in Germany 20 years later, when people have clearly caught on.

[@llamasarus1]

I like how minimal yet effective Peter Bucks guitar playing is.

[@brianshaffneraclc]

Apparently in the very beginning, Pete suggested that Mills take the guitar role, because at the time he had more experience. But Mills listened to his playing, heard the potential, and was like "uh uh, you da man."

[@blindriv3r]

@@brianshaffneraclc That is cool, Buck reminds me in a good way of Neil Young...Among the Buffalo Springfield, Young claimed the best guitarist was the bassist Bruce Palmer, but Palmer didn't want to be one of the twin leads as Neil and Stills were

Very, very good. Strange and alarming event that the lyrics refer to. Dan Rather, an aclaimed tv-journalist, being bantared black and blue by two estranged thugs bantering, saying/chanting/shouting this main lyric. Why?

[@samlelowitch]

A great performance. Who's playing keyboards?

[@TheSanityInspector]

From Wikipedia, here's the personnel listed for this performance: Personnel R.E.M. Peter Buck - guitar, bass guitar, banjo, mandolin Mike Mills - bass guitar, backing vocals, piano Michael Stipe - lead vocals Auxiliary musicians Scott McCaughey - guitar, keyboard, vocals Bill Rieflin - drums, percussion Ken Stringfellow - keyboard, banjo, bass guitar, vocals

[@johnnybravo3839]

Both Ken Stringfellow (The Posies) and Scott McCaughey (The Young Fresh Fellows) were long time fixtures of the Seattle indie rock scene and made great additions to REM's live shows.
