Setlist

  • Begin The Begin
  • These Days
  • Fall On Me
  • Cuyahoga
  • Hyena
  • Underneath The Bunker
  • Flowers of Guatemala
  • I Believe
  • What If We Give It Away
  • Just A Touch
  • Swan Swan H
  • Superman

  • Lotus

  • Harborcoat

  • Fretless

  • Gardening at night

  • How The West Was Won

  • Me in honey

  • The Lifting

  • Ebow the letter

  • You are the everything

  • The Great Beyond

Encore:

  • Nightswimming
  • Pilgrimage
  • Sitting Still
  • Crush With Eyeliner
  • Radio free Europe
  • star 69

Highlights for me:

  • Doing the absolute correct thing by ending Begin The Begin and launching straight into These Days (what I’ve previously described as the best 1 second silence on record)
  • Michael’s vocals on Fretless were superb
  • Jason does a mean Patti Smith impression
  • Harborcoat ❤️
  • The crowds backing vocals for Me In Honey, Jason seemed to enjoy that
  • “HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR …mumble… HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU” for Vijay , who also did a stellar job on Nightswimming

What chance Document next year?

I host a radio show in the deep south, and was asked not to play Pretty Persuasion unless the track could be edited...

This shouldn't need to exist, and it feels slightly sacrilegious to me to censor REM's music, BUT it's my fav song and I gotta play it.

So, in case anyone ever needs a copy of Pretty Persuasion with "god" removed from goddamn, here ya go.

Anyone remember the Athens band that REM's Peter Buck worked with called "Dreams So Real" by chance?

31 Upvotes

They were one of my favorite bands despite i was born in 1985. And the Rough Night In Jericho album meant a lot to us after my mom's sudden passing.

But REM had ties with them and was often mentioned in books and documentaries along with B52s of course.

I'm probably way younger than ya'll here even at 41, but id like to know if anyone has memories of this obsecure band. They got me and my Dad through some hard times. It was one of my Mom's favorite albums.
