[@seanwinkel8890]

I saw them many times, starting in 1985, and they were never ever less then captivating.

[@Gonzax]

What an incredible performer Stipe was, fantastic!

[@dottiespurlock3113]

[@carmeldoherty]

What an amazing concert wish I had been there Michael has an incredible voice and wonderful back up band 💖💖💖

[@nativeofnc]

Uh…..that is his band….just a few extras added.

[@acercade439]

the best of the year 2021. R.E.M's songs and Michael Stipe's voice and smile.

[@katalinhartai3977]

That wink and smile he gave, after, "That was the rain honey" 😉😉😃🤣🤭❤️❤️❤️🤗🥰🤣😍 Love IT!!! ❤❤🥰😍😍😍😃

[@squirrelbutler2119]

2001....

[@RacerPaul3]

This may have been their best show ever

[@madyogi6164]

Try Tourfilm.

[@jimzafiriou7808]

Amazing street concert, can't believe it was 20 years ago, REM rock!

[@Rafael_Tutunchiev]

Группа R.E.М Шикарна

[@themusic5229]

It's weird how nostalgia can make you feel happy and sad all at once 🥰

[@seanwinkel8890]

That's literally what the word means- the pain of remembering

[@cowleysbein9002]

It's not only nostalgia. First it's REM but it was ;-)

[@alternateleavescounseling7866]

Well said!

[@anthonydownie4055]

Ahhh good old melancholy nostalgia

[@aaronhume5335]

My children reminisce about this concert, pulled them from school for this

[@nateriley4067]

Now that's great parenting! Seriously, some days you just have to say "Fuck it", this is more important than another day of school. That's why your kids will idolize you for the week and will always remember that day. Great job!

[@june6387]

Agree! Your bond with your children must be ❤

[@mariekatherine5238]

You make me feel old!

[@adamcoe]

Your kids are lucky to have a parent who recognizes how much you can learn outside the classroom. You're a goddamn beauty and more parents should be like you.

[@mariekatherine5238]

REM at the peak of their career, but Michael’s music continues undeterred. No Time For Love Like Now, excellent.

[@debjones60]

I’m watching this 8am on 18th May 2021 in Australia and all this time later, the music is epic. Love this band. 🙏🏼🥰

[@javid.l2912]

Un saludo desde España. 16th Sep 2023 00:20 pm.

[@dermotgodfrey1454]

Michael, Mike ,Peter ,Scott ,Ken and Joey! What a unit!

[@adamcoe]

just watched the 92 show from the 40 Watt and it led me to this. R.E.M. overload right now and I'm here for it. those of you that haven't heard/seen that show should do so immediately

[@bichettevirgino6664]

Il me fait plus de bien que mes anxiolytiques merci Mike💝💝💝💝💝

[@josephpereira75]

Was there. Stipe rules!

[@johnmarshall7703]

I love that i was lucky enough ti be there with one of my best friends Doug B. I will always love you❤️❤️❤️

[@dawnindusk5]

This was fun, stumbled upon this wandering in Toronto.

[@zazubombay]

Great energy in this show. They're having a blast -- thanks for uploading. I'm American but grew up near the border -- spent my teenage years going back and forth between Buffalo and TO. Miss it to this day. Love you Canada! And love you REM!

[@cabinboy15]

Live in Toronto and have made my fair share of road trips to Buffalo for live music.

[@gigisasz4580]

Man o man does their two biggest hits speak me crying’ deep down in my soul and to NOW!! We so. Need you guys back RIGHT NOW in the US!! Please🙏

[@GrahamHarvey-g7x]

Rem , simple, one of the best groups ever, they were fantastic

[@ledatape]

If this doesnt leave you with a smile on your face i cant help you... what a mindblast! so glad i could be there.. cheers for uploading! respect!

[@katrinavang5862]

Miss this beautiful band😢

[@ThomasBaxter]

Came down there on my lunch break from King and Jarvis. Being a small dude, I weaseled my way past Shuter, kinda close.. ish. Great show. One of those Toronto memories, cuz everyone was nice... and standing dead still ;)

[@normatible9795]

Very lucky you!!

[@cabinboy15]

My first R.E.M. show....snuck out of work for this one.

[@Richard_Gatecliffe_Photography]

What a treat this gig must have been. Top marks to REM and lucky Canada.

[@kasunlee7489]

OMG 2001, the best days of my life, and this was happening. 🧡

[@annb1]

I think people these days forget how big they were......from the 80's all the way up to this time..HUGE!

[@robertojorgedandrea]

R.E.M I LOVE YOU❤❤❤

[@mr3745]

The guy at the end cracks me up. Michael Stipe tosses him the mic for last chorus of the last song of the encore, their most rollicking anthem. The crowd is going nuts but he politely checks first: "Would you like me to sing?"

[@lone_camper_001]

This was an awesome concert, I was there and then saw them again in Dublin in 2002 (I think or maybe 2003?) I still tell people about the version of “end of the world” loved it 👌👍

[@mariekatherine5238]

I so wanted to go to this concert, but I had to work. I was living in northern NY just across the St. Lawrence from Ontario, a few hour’s drive from Toronto. Less than three months later, free access to Canada would be a thing of the past after 9-11.

[@ThoseBackPages]

less than four months after this show, the world would be changed forever.

[@luciahelenagandolfioliveir8792]

Amo vc Stip, que voz maravilhosa.

[@patriciarogers922]

The best of the best!

[@patriciarogers922]

Love to hear michael sing!

[@patriciarogers922]

The drummer's father signed REM Prince,Madonna , Red Hot Chili Peppers and Dire Straits to Warners and produced a ton too.

[@jt21788]

Joey Waronker?

[@remtrader106]

I was there and loved it!

[@andrewdouris6035]

I live10 mins away. Saw them in concert as early as the 80's at the masonic temple 888 Yonge street. which is also about a 10 min walk from where they did this. This was an epic day. I can see my condo in the background

[@valeriaparreiras1325]

[@anaclaudiasilvasantos938]

[@sartainja]

Very few bands would do a FREE street concert for the public. Everyone is so greedy but we all have to eat.

[@so.centralrain889]

Only gentle and deep songs. really like.

[@rongautreau4044]

The incomparable Michael Stipes !

[@arricammarques1955]

Micheal Stipe, mate.

[@Samstrainsofcircumstances]

If they ever get back together to do this one more time, I'm going no matter where it is.

[@velolocation6461]

[@stapaneantonio4992]

Angelo e insieme con noi ho vero che in cieli con le persone più care ciao Marco

[@fernandosolis5850]

Great!! There was a rumor in 2003 that circulated the full version of the concert that REM offered at Glastonbury 2003, if there is such a recording?

[@mariekatherine5238]

Yes, and I think portions of it are on KZbin. Sorry, I don’t know the site.

[@ewanchalmers9498]

[@ARTHURNeeleman-ie9cm]

this song from het goede doel is voor iedsereen anders

[@bryanwest2509]

Love the band! Can't help sense though that some songs are lip synced...Too exact to recording. Thoughts from those who were there?

[@REMVideoArchive]

Thanks for the comment. For clarity, this was 100% live & is in no way lip-synced at all

[@normatible9795]

Why is the concert free?!???

[@SaintMartins]

It was filmed for a TV concert special for Canada's version of MTV. REM were paid lots of money to do this.

[@seansellman6086]

Great show… director never directed music lol…
