    i think they have lost something without bill berry
    but i love rem

    saw them in concert twice and listen to mostly everything, except maybe around the sun and automatic for the people (makes me too sad, memory thing)

    I heard electrolite in a restuarant the other day and started grinning like an idiot...

    which live dvd would you recommend i buy if i were to only afford one?

    personally I'd go with Perfect Square. some complain it is a little too slick on the production but it is a good mix between the new & old stuff and the venue in Germany is beautiful

    Hi Jammers !

    It's good to see a Thread about REM ! I'm A HUge Fan Since 1991 ! Saw Them 3 times : Toulon (France) 95Vienne( France )03 Marseille(France) 05

    The best was the best-of tour in 2003.Some people say that the band sounded as its best in This year.I'd Agree cos' they really had a amazing sound at that time great setlist too ! Saw Glastonbury 2003 on vid and It's really amazing !

    Best Albums : Out Of Time Automatic for the people But I like all their stuff !

    Saw on You Tube many of the new song that they played on Dublin a month ago
    and I'm really exciting about their new stuff

    Another Marvellous moment : The induction on Rock'n Roll Hall Of Fame By Ed
    I Almost cry !

    I am no longer on top of it with them as I once was, but I do feel that Michael Stipe is amazing and such a creative genius. They had a special "magical genius" as berry-buck-mills-stipe and when that changed I didn't rebel because Berry was gone it was just different and I fell away. Strangely these days I can listen to their later and new albums and still get great satisfaction and stand firm that REM is one of the great bands of my lifetime.

    Just to add how fitting I found that Ed inducted the band that has been a part of my lifesince I was 9...with a speech that said everything (almost without saying it) Kind of "the evolution of my music foundation." The combination of Stipe and Vedder is truly genius collision.

    I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.

    Find the River is such a beautiful song.

    "The river to the ocean goes,
    a fortune for the undertow
    none of this is going my way"
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
