REM - Orange Crush

A clip from T in the Park 2008, shown on BBC Scotland. I was doing hand held camera work onstage.

[@smileygladhands]

Love this song. My uncle (RIP uncle Porgy) was in 'nam and it triggered his schizophrenia when he rotated back to being a civilian. He was barely rescued by helicopter on top of a hill they were defending. He said hundreds of VC were charging his position and he just barely made it out. By the time he was 25, he was diagnosed with full blown schizophrenia. The man never had a chance at a normal life after that. The VA experimented on him with different drugs, which made his condition worse over time. We found out he was exposed to agent orange several times while in 'nam, which also had several bad side effects on him. He was one of the nicest people I've ever met and had such a good heart. It saddens me to think of what he could have been were he not sent to Vietnam. He succumbed to his ailments in 2006.

[@sartainja]

G-d rest Porgy’s soul and grant him the peace that he did not have in life. Thank you for giving all to a thankless country.

[@burtmurphy6261]

Thank REM for bringing it to light, The song's title refers to the chemical defoliant Agent Orange manufactured by Monsanto Corporation and Dow Chemical for the U.S. Defense Department and used in Vietnam, it killed a lot of our own and God only knows how many Vietnamese, wild life and eco system with a slow death after the war.

[@jimbomay]

What a f*cking performance ! So much power, and still sounds as fresh today as in 1988. Brilliant performance of a brilliant song by the most brilliant band

[@geoffreysnyder5144]

Song was about Agent Orange (cancer-causing defoliant in Vietnam produced by DuPont chemical company song is comparable to AIC song "Rooster" in a few aspects.

[@billybrackman5143]

Filmed in UK. They almost never show the lead guitarist riffs. maybe they think it's a trade secret? Check a lot of bands like Cream etc. filmed in UK. Here comes the lead.... and they switch to the left and of the bass player LOL

[@dynjarren7523]

I know they are so in love with the frontman singer all the time! The guitarist is ignored which is practically a crime when the player is someone as good as Peter Buck! I prefer to watch the Guitar player and drummer too! I don’t like to watch Bald headed Stipey. He’s very unphotogenic!

I don't know what this song has to do with the Vietnam war. It is not disrespectful to me in any way. Beautiful songs are like that. They kept the helicopter war snipet out. Great anti war anyway. Luv it ❤. As good as U2's "New Year's Day" :)

Is that what happened? I was trying to figure out if it was a planned part of the performance. None of the band members seemed too alarmed so I was confused, but there are a few frames of security hauling him off so idk. If so the band members are troopers to keep performing through the stage being invaded. Was that shout at 2:52 Michael Stipe or the man running on stage?
