    It is part of "South By Southwest" aka SXSW....its a very highly-regarded music conference/festival in Austin.....hundreds of band showcase there......music biz people from allover the world attend, so its a great way for REM to launch the new record.

    My girlfriend is there, but I don't think she was able to get into the show.\\I think they play 1 hour.

    Thx, just what I needed right now :D

    There should be a website that keeps track of all the livestreams being broadcast every day. Hard to keep track of all the music out there.
    Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?

    I know basically none of the songs they're playing (got only 1 or 2 of their albums) but I find it very accessible nevertheless

    They're gonna play Bad Day soon though. I certainly know that one. And I got the album with Nightswimming on it, but that's obligatory.

    There it is. It's been a Bad Day, please dont take a picture...

    I think it just rambles on, Bad Day is more more up-beat, up-tempo and anthemic. Not to say that slow songs are necessarily bad, Nightswimming is great for example.

    I totally disagree. I think Bad Day is a pretty cool song, although it is basically a re-tread of It's the end of the world as we know it....I think Leaving New York is a really moving song, and the vocal harmonies towards the end are vintage REM.

    Nothing wrong with having two songs of that nature in your catalogue ;)

    Wow, is that the first show they've played in ages without playing Losing My Religion?

    Auctioneer & Second Guessing, huh?
    wow.

    Looks like other than these two, and Fall On Me \ Drive, they are really trying to cut their setlists off from the past, say, pre-NAIHF?

    Sigh. Oh well.
    I should have gone to see REM one of the many chances i had from Green - NAIHF.
    :(
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?
