disappointed this isn't getting a deluxe vinyl treatment.
I'm gonna pass on it. I have the Pallas german pressing from 10 years ago or whenever and its perfect (not the US pressing with the weird wobbly Nightswimming/Find The River).
Watched Dan Rather interview Mike & Michael on AXS TV.....was a very insightful interview....makes me wish they would reform!
Oh man, Yeah! Even if just for a while.
I've been listening this this one on CD (might need to get the vinyl one of these days!) a fair amount lately.
Great stuff! The third disc is a DVD and though I am not a fan of the artsy photography (which is downright irritating at times), the performances are first rate.
What a great band! After all these years, still a huge fan.

A MUST see for R.E.M. fans. I have the single disc DVD but I think I may be getting the full 6 disc set for Christmas. Woo hoo!

Anyone know if these shows were recorded in 1989? If so, I almost went to these, but decided I shouldn't arrange that part of my backpacking trip just by where REM was playing. Probably was still the right decision but in this convo, it feels SO WRONG! I definitely missed some REM shows in Dublin that year, I just don't know if it was these specific shows. Wondering...

@brianlux Hey Brian, did you ever hear REM's cover of Academy Fight Song? I know you're a big Mission of Burma fan
I like it, probably because I heard it before I'd heard the MOB original. A friend of mine who love MOB absolutely hates this version!
Oh man! Yeah yeah yeah! Thanks! Never heard that before - cool! Not sure why your friend doesn't like it. Doesn't top the original though, that's true!

Never heard this and I thought I've heard every R.E.M. song.

It was the b-side to their 1989 Christmas fan club single (remember when bands used to send out holiday singles...) The A-side was a bizarre version of Good King Wenceslas that I've probably only played once or twice.
They had some pretty cool holiday singles over the years. Some cheesy Christmas stuff, but also some great covers. I remember Peter Buck saying that they may release them all in a box set for charity one day, but that was a few years ago now

Me too! The version of Country Feedback with Neil at the Bridge School was their 1999 single, backed with a great version of Ambulance Blues from the same show (Neil singing). Probably up there with Merkinball as one of my favourite singles I own.

That's a great version of that song though a bit weird the way Michael Stipe sits on the floor while Neil is soloing. Also funny that Michels calls it his "favorite" R.E.M. song. He's said that a few other times about other songs! I think it's been posted here before but here it is again:

Who here has abundant flexible funds? This is a pretty sweet score for any hardcore fans (or even me, a giant fan even if not the hardcore-est of the hardcore). But that price tag... not gonna happen for me, but maybe one of you? Oh, and definitely check out Peter Buck's note explaining the price, that's what makes it an even rarer, more amazing score!

I would pay $1,000 in a heartbeat to see this band live. I am sure many others would too. Hello charity show. Come on....
