REM- music really misses them

Never a huge REM mark, but always liked their music. Seems Alt rock is missing their presence quite a bit. Michael Stipe, we need your voice! I know and get why completely, just a void it seems.

But, at least they went out classy. And we have so much amazing music to remember them by! Every time I listen to them, it always amazes me just how good they were. I hope someday we do see a reunion!

" live at the Olympia theater" cd is..,!
Seems in 2007 the allowed fans in Dublin to attend their tour rehearsals and the cd was a result .
Almost feels like a "artists den" or "vh1 storytellers " type event.
Stipe and the band very competently rip through gems from their entire discography (including a rare and lyric revealing "kohatek "!)
I reordered the tracks in the cd by album and it's quite an awesome listen !

As a massive fan I can concur that the Olympia Theatre CD is awesome. They played 5 nights at this tiny theatre in Dublin and played 39 different songs. Releasing them was the best idea ever. Loads of early songs including Romance. Even a casual fan would love this.

It's called "R.E.M. Live at the Olympia in Dublin, 39 Songs" and well worth checking out. I have the CD set and it's great! I wanted to get it on vinyl but just too pricey. See here:

I will also add that while most albums are front-loaded to a degree, I think that the last three songs on Automatic for the People are the greatest last three tracks of any album ever.
Spot on about AFTP. Find The River is absolutely stunning. Perfection.
Hmmm, OMG, ok, somehow I have to track this down. Sounds great. Thanks.

:thumbup: :thumbup: New Adventures in Hi-Fi, Accelerate and Automatic for the People are great albums.

I really have to say, I may agree with you! I've seen PJ 50+ times, and REM some 18 or 19 times. PJ is clearly (and has been for 20 yrs) one of my all time fave live bands, but in all my years of seeing shows, one REM show still stands out as in my top 5 shows ever in terms of it being an astounding show, my going into a total trance of joy, bliss and just pure energy, and it featuring most of my fave REM album (Life's Rich Pageant). It was the Document tour (another incredible album!!) so imagine getting most of LRP, Document, and songs from all the previous amazing albums: the first album through Fables of the Reconstruction! It was an astounding show and one of the single best times I've ever had at a concert. Having seen 1,000+ shows overall, that's saying a lot!
The other 4 best ever were a Radiohead show, a Clash show (unquestionably the best live band ever ever ever!), a Jeff Buckley show, and a Frames show.
