Nice pic! Was just at that spot a few weeks ago to see the Truckers at 40 Watt.

Continuing our campaign to will an Atlanta show into existence, here is another amazing PJ in Atlanta moment, and huge reason to come back to Atlanta, Georgia! Lakewood amphitheater, 1998!

Technically not a memory for me, I was at college in Greenville (went to the ‘98 show at the Bi-Lo center), but see the show above and tune into about the hour twenty mark for Daughter with TWO R.E.M. tags, Talk About the Passion and The Wrong Child!

Photo above is the train trestle in Athens, GA on the back of the essential album, Murmur, R.E.M.’s first full length album! Nice day trip from Atlanta for those who visit!

There is a big friendship over the years between the bands, with Ed even singing on R.E.M.‘s last album.

 R.E.M. Is one of the best bands ever and these have to be some of the best Daughter tags ever!

PJ, come on down and cover Texarkana or Near Wild Heaven. I’m sure Mike Mills would drive up from Macon to sing! Or any of the other members stop on by to play!

Let’s make it happen!

Sound off if you were present for this version of Daughter!

I was there! Went to school in Athens and was a big REM fan at the time. Floored me when they did the REM tags.

And if I remember correctly, the audio used on that ATL98 video came from the DAT recording I made that night.

And to insert another Atlanta show memory… he did a short Talk About The Passion tag on 4/2/94 also… the night before the famous radio broadcast.

So we have you to thank for that. Thank you for your service, sir! I love putting that show on in the background while I'm working. There's always a moment when something in that show trips a memory of that night. Since we're on the topic, I'm sure this is a complete long shot but you didn't happen to record the Beasties the next night by any chance? I've been looking for that boot for a long time and have always come up short.

I would love to hear Mike duet with Ed on an REM cover. My friend met Mike Mills a few years ago at a Braves game at Turner Field.

No I didn’t make it to Beastie Boys the next night. Wish I had.
Have not listened to it, but found this recording….  https://youtu.be/HYfZH2F-oSY

You can't see me now............but there is a grown ass man on the other side of the keyboard who's near tears at this moment. I have struck out on this for so long that I almost gave up. I only got to see the Beasties this one time, lost my tour shirt in a break up, only have a Flex Fit hat from this show and have never been able to relive this night. I haven't looked for this in a long time. This has made my whole week. Thank...you!

That’s awesome! And I know that feeling!

Wish I had gone to that show… but had Pearl Jam in Birmingham and Greenville the next two nights and had to have a break!

I did get to see the Beasties at the Tibet Freedom Concert in DC earlier that summer though!

Don't blame you. I wish I would have went to the B'ham and Greenville shows, but I tailgated both shows, was working overnights at the time, had to leave directly after both shows and go straight into work so I was pretty much spent the day after the Beasties show.

Mike is a huge baseball fan! Here is 3/4 of R.E.M. at the Fox in 2019. PJ let’s do this one!

I'm there. Just got to find out how much I can get for my house, my car and for only two of my kids. 🤣

Ordered the vinyl and yes, start saving for the Fox shows (ticket money and anxiety meds as I await the lottery emails!)!

As cool as The Fox would be, given their recent tour history in Atlanta I am not going to get greedy and would be more than happy if they just played anywhere in the city.  Even a return to the dump that is Lakewood would be more than great by me.  Just going to see PJ without having to board a plane or take a minimum 4 hour road trip would be nice.

CarryTheZero

Agreed. Multiple nights at State Farm would be just fine. Or wherever! Let’s just play Atlanta!
