    Not only was I there when Ed joined REM on stage for Begin the Begin...but I was sitting 2 rows behind Ed and Jeff during the Modest Mouse set...right behind the soundboard.

    We were flipping cause it appeared no one recognized them. I could have huged them I was so close, but we left them alone to enjoy the show. I was cool to see Jeff taking pictures of MM with his cell phone...a true fan!!

    ride" ! Unknown

    It was pretty freaking cool. I'm sure there's a boot of the show out there somewhere. It was a great show all around, and having Ed there was a nice surprise.
    However, his appearance was not the "highlight of the show", as I overheard someone say in line for 10c tickets the next night (Thursday) in Camden. REM is a solid band, with an amazing show. It's a bit of an insult to them, IMO, to say one song w/a guest appearance was the highlight.
    Rant over.

    agree, they are an amazing live band with an incredible body of music to draw from. Michael is a real stage presence...
