"go tell crusade" sneaks in from 1985's "Driver 8" Stipe was chewing on the lyrics for years. Kinda the way we saw Low and Belong on Tourfilm89.

[@joeyjoejoe3011]

Bill Berry's arms. That is all. Was there as a cute young girl, still admire them as an old lady... God bless you Mike, Michael, Bill and Peter.

As quoted from the book 'R.E.M.- Inside Out' It's too bad Mike "absolutely refuses to play" this song live. This would be such a great song done live these days.

@skonedr R.E.M. always wrote songs on the road and tried them out in setlists so its a little bit older then 1986 this is the little america tour from 1984 (ok got it all from the web i was 8 at the time lol ) but hey if i can find it you must have done it by now to 7 years later :P

[@kiernanthomas6006]

According to the page R.E.M. Concert Tours on Wikipedia , The band was NOT at the Capitol theater in NJ on the date you have here. They were there on October 12 of that year, Maybe they're wrong? I saw that show by the way (10/12/84)!

[@REMchout]

REM had written a lot of songs early that would end up on later albums. Check my Tyrone's 81 Audio for examples.

[@REMchout]

Yeah, a lot of times I just assume songs on an album are just instantly written and recorded at that time...it's interesting to find that some songs are pretty old...both Just A Touch and What If We Give It Away date way back to 81.

Could everyone please play this one more time and tell me Mike Mills' bass line is not THE SHIT! He is a genius!!!!

[@mattferrucci4146]

His backing vocals are great too

[@ggforeigner]

this makes me feel like i'm 13 again and it's 1987- when i was listening to life's rich pageant alot- as you get older you get numb and forget about raw feelings- man he's serving you no interest!
