    One of the best named tribute acts I have ever seen advertised - ‘Are We Them?’ - love it!

    Great interview. I was lucky to see them many times in their prime. I have Reckoning on IRS vinyl.
    Felt bad for Bill, but if he's healthy and happy, that's what counts.
    I got choked up when he answered that question. 
    I can't watch the clip being in canada, it's blocked. what was the question/answer?

    Anthony asks if they had any second thoughts about walking away. They all quickly say no. Then he asks Bill directly. Bill says "of course I did" and breaks down a little as he starts taking about that time.

    Ohhh, man!  That was so good!  Thank you for posting it! Loved every minute of it.

    I was hugely impressed by Mike saying, "You can do this business with integrity, and you can look at yourself in the mirror and still feel good."  That's REM in a nutshell.  I love this band!

    Picked up a copy of this 12" Maxi-Single (don'tcha just love Maxi-Singles!) today.  Nice fat 45 RPM grooves really bring out the two tunes from the full release.  The live cuts are a bit rough, but Michael's voice on "Gardening at Night" is pure sweetness.  The man had the voice of an angel!

    Nice pick up, I still have my original pressing of Reckoning on IRS vinyl.  In a box somewhere.

    Reckoning is such a great album!  One of my favorites!

    That is when I got hooked.  Saw them open for the Police twice on that tour. Stipe would barely look at the audience and hid under his hair.

    Nice!  I'll bet that was a great show!

    I saw them in November 1983.  Also on the bill was Let's Active.  And toward the end of the set Michael called out Andy Gil and John King from Gang of Four to play a couple of songs with them, and then Eric Martin from The Neats sat in with them.  
    Same thing with Michael hiding behind his hair.  He also leaned on the mic stand big-time throughout the show as though he would crumple to the ground if he let go.  But they were great.  
    I learned later the Steve Wynn from The Dream Syndicate was in the crowd that night as well.  Good times!
