R.E.M. - Whats the Frequency, Kenneth? - Dublin 2005

From R.E.M. Live filmed at Point Depot, Ireland February 2005

[@vicdillon6278]

My fave R.E.M. tune ever...so catchy, so unconventional, so R.E.M.!

[@robertito16]

Dylan Pacis it’s just a great song

[@davehughesfarm7983]

it is a banger

[@thenoobpolice3002]

Mike Mills and Michael Stipe harmonising with each other .... glorious.

[@sandeepjamkar]

Great upload! I wish these guys never parted ways

[@bermurf44]

Same here...

[@01sapphireGTS]

I have never attended an R.E.M. concert, but it looks like it would be a great live show.

[@giancarlogozzini4746]

I was at 2 great rem shows

[@joycehall4866]

Neither have I n it's something that I will regret for the rest of my life. Been a fan for 35 yrs.

[@harrykai4241]

pro trick : watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.

[@rogeliosalvador7857]

@Harry Kai yup, I've been using Flixzone for since december myself :)

[@jamariarian5769]

@Harry Kai Definitely, been using flixzone for since november myself :D

[@dermotgodfrey1454]

Love Stipes melody in the second chorus sheer power!!

[@starwarsroo2448]

Such an amazing live band, vocals, tight it’s all there

[@ratatatatatatata839]

I saw them in Glasgow in this year 2005 and they blew me away! Best gig I've ever been to and I've been to a lot! Love R.E.M ❤

[@GVike]

Mike Mills playing bass AND singing high parts. That is called talent.

[@GFEBMX]

i dont see how the voice and the fingers are different things only

[@topdog91]

Yeah, I mean nobody's ever done that before. 🙄

[@aryder151]

When you play bass, you tend to 'keep in tune' with the instrument. That he does requires ability to multitask, focus, etc.. or just talent..

[@gatorbuilt]

Yeah...because Michael Anthony, Paul McCartney, Geddy Lee, etc, etc never did that...

[@janborovicka9185]

And someone said Michael Anthony, Paul McCartney, Geddy Lee, etc, etc have no talent?!

[@ghunty]

Watching this video and just realized I was at this gig! Such a great show

[@moynes10]

me too..very dark show...the sho win Marley couple yeae]rs previous?...majic

[@isabellelavoie8456]

One of my best concerts! Also great to meet Michael Stipe back stage with old time friend Michael Kirman. Thanks Mike wherever you are!

[@WRod-vo2zf]

Thank you guys for making our younger years so fucking awesome!

[@EmmanuelleLunada2010]

Great performance, I love it. Michael is truly living up to his rockstar role at this performance.

[@fireglo450music]

Wow, a live version where the lyrics are actually clearer than the studio version!

[@Tigercats1976]

Ya no shit eh!! Lol that's the sign of a truly excellent, talented band! REM is a very underated band, The Tragically Hip is another band, very similar to REM , they were just amazing live, Gord Downie May he RIP, was such a great frontman, again very similar to REM's lead singer! That could be the Canadian in me speaking lol no the Hip were an excellent band, I'm so grateful I was able to see them in their prime several times. 🍻☮️🇨🇦

[@Rad-gm6pt]

I love that crowd. They got what they came for. Great performance R. E. M

[@Kevin-qm7ic]

Point depot will never be beat

[@conorsmith8551]

It's not the same now, lost it's uniqueness. Looks like any other indoor arena

[@bluedeskfan2754]

Their best tune for me. Nice to be able to hear the words on this version

[@ratatatatatatata839]

2005 Glasgow Green gig was amazing!

[@javiervillalbabrocal7969]

Excelente lisergico video en directo para una de las canciones que más profundo llega, y que es producto de una anécdota. De lo mínimo hasta lo máximo. Muchas gracias, a quién la compuso y canto, y también a quién la subió.

[@dwaynecarroll6098]

Powerful performance

[@Bi_scotti_5]

I love how Michael Stipe walks in wearing a neon green shirt just like the lyrics say

[@Riffmaster227]

Violent green not neon!

[@Bi_scotti_5]

@@Riffmaster227 yeah that's the lyric I'm referring to 😅

[@seanwalsh72]

Great energy and great crowd make for an awesome performance!

[@MexboroughBuildings]

Not a massive REM fan but this song… WOW

[@01sapphireGTS]

The backing vocals are magic.

[@slatz486]

A lot of people seem to think the editing is crap... maybe you haven't seen the real video! Personally, I think they did an excellent job on it giving the impression of a bad frequency with cameras all over the place and the sound is not easy to produce from a live show either! All respect to you Michael for wearing a violent green Irish jersey too 😊

[@corinnawilliams3744]

Gibson, Fender, Pearl, And REM THE BEST!!!

[@stevewilson9479]

Just so much joy going to see REM live..Michael is so laid back when i met him! what a man..!

[@nunocovas9284]

Great!!! Monster album...

[@johnbyrne2756]

Contrary to popular belief this song is about the forming of the London congestion charge zone. During the consultation period prior to its implementation Livingstone was quizzed about traffic regularity and volumes by an interviewer, who supposedly asked him, 'WHAT'S THE FREQUENCY KENNETH' ?

[@joycehall4866]

This is so fucking awesome! My main man...Mr.Stipe❤

[@shadowbanned-iq4fl]

I couldn’t understand then, I understand now.

[@anthonywallace3830]

I was lucky enough to see them after they released UP and they were fantastic. I hope you can catch them live if they ever reform. Until then we have wonderful a KZbin vids!

[@FrankieDaix1978]

Awesome lyrics are much clearer great live version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@zorinasailung9478]

The greatest modern rock band

[@user-lf3ql9bj1v]

Mike Stipe was legend❤

[@01sapphireGTS]

The backing vocals are MAGICAL. This is better than the studio recording by far.

[@krakenkraken1]

[@acrodave9287]

"Butterfly decal, Windy Miller, dog in the sea..."

[@keithlauderjr1691]

What a show that was, Wow!

[@BoutTime73]

Back in the days you could hit the Masquerade club in Atlanta to see where alot of thes bands, esp the GA guys came from, Talk about a wild night and experience!!

[@3340steve]

Classic

[@kevinhyland5332]

love love love my REM XX

[@Tigercats1976]

Excellent tune ! Such a catchy song! 🍻☮️🇨🇦

[@mark24o965]

What a tune a truly great band great live also

[@robertstanley4833]

That drummer is Bill Reiflin and wow he was amazing!

Real good live perfornance!

[@craigbourne-hc7rs]

I never understood the frequency. ❤

[@DrHogfan]

thats one fine looking Gibson Les Paul. I've got an Epiphone that looks just like it...but ...it's an Epiphone.

[@Jamesdodds2001]

Guitar sounds fucking unreal

[@washfix1]

missed this one like the irish ruby shirt

[@DaveAlbiston]

gosh

[@philliprodgers1012]

Great song, but the video is completely unwatchable, was there an earthquake?

[@I-Love-Taylor-Swift]

A 4-minute-long earthquake!

[@jessek6180]

Phillip Rodgers totally with you.. shame cause it's a brilliant performance

[@dazzanomas9418]

Yes the camera crew has apologized for that as they had been on an all day Guinness binge which is what is expected on a visit to Ireland, they said never again as they suffered for a week after and it put them off drinking for life.

[@alexadamson2818]

Just Benzedrine things.

[@jessek6180]

Would love to see this performance without the dizzying and manic video edit

[@Ckom-Tunes]

What would you do if someone punched you in the back of the head and said: "Kenneth, what's the frequency?"

[@DamianLoved]

Ckom -- Run.

[@zackamania6534]

I wear a shirt, of vi-o-lent green, uh huh...

[@leninha329]

@michaelestipe ❤️❤️❤️❤️Amo 🌺🌻☘️

[@marshmallowbudgie]

the Louise Mensch song

[@cassianobizotto1]

Paul Murphy, this disponible full show in dvd torrent?

[@Chris-yz7cs]

Is mike wearing a Irish rugby shirt

[@keithlauderjr1691]

Song of Dan Rather getting mugged in the Park. ( ;;

[@cassianobizotto1]

Paul Murphy, do you have the dvd and could you torrent it? I live in Brazil and there is no way to buy the original here, moreover due to the covid 19 everything that comes from abroad to customs

[@therickoshae]

great song performed brilliantly . i would like to know what it is about ? Can anybody enlighten me please ?

[@ratboyninja]

It's about Dan Rather being mugged and the mugger kept yelling at him What's the frequency Kenneth?

[@therickoshae]

ok thank you for you reply but ,,,,,why would a mugger say that,,? and where did you get that info please ?

[@ratboyninja]

He was strung out on something. Just Google dan rather mugging or title of song. ::)

[@somaditya75]

+therickoshae Tugger the mugger was a person who was disturbed me mentally (or maybe he was more sane than us)...Kenneth would basically be a fictitious character...the guy...the mugger named William Tager said newsmedia beamed signals into his head "....and it was only a matter of figuring out the frequency that he had to block....hence "what's the frequency...Kenneth"....

[@JoeGomez1]

+therickoshae Dan Rather from CBS was walking in Central Park and this guy William tager thought CBS News was beaming signals to his head when he saw Dan Rathers walking down the street, he ran up and beat the crap out of him, repeatedly requesting the frequency ( Kenneth Whats the Frequency ) of the signals so he can stop them, while addressing Rathers as "Kenneth" for no apparent reason to this date. and then REM made this song

[@raleighsmalls4653]

I don' get it...

[@Johnbartheart]

It that the Irish National team soccer jersey or something he is wearing when they come out?? No pun intended...😎

[@philiporeilly7198]

Irish Rugby jersey:-)

[@craigthibodeaux4606]

Imply against your own nationality chickenshit

[@panaboy01]

horrible editing and shooting 😢😢😢

[@tony9684]

Amazing performance. Terrible editing.

[@jimflanagan1948]

please get back together again. you don't need bill Berry to still make music like rem. he's a drummer for Christ sake.

[@icm65]

The video ruins a great song and performance here...

[@user-qg9fo6us5z]

If only the cameras weren't on amphetamines...

[@executivesteps]

Pointless camera work. Unwatchable.

[@Tigercats1976]

Goosebumps!!!
