    Early period R.E.M. (i.e. Chronic Town, Murmur, Reckoning, and Fables) is the best high music ever. After a night of drinking and a few bong rips, throw on Murmur on vinyl. The mix is amazing. Songs like 9-9, Moral Kiosk, Wolves, Lower, and the second side of Fables will rock your brain.

    REM is awesome, my parents used to play "Losing my Religion" when I was younger, and I started listening more later in my life.

    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Great show, but it did seem a little too short. They did have a lot of energy though.

    I'd never seen REM live before, but wow! Manged to get right down in front and was very impressed! It was a whole lotta fun....At the end, when the did "Man in the Moon", I was singing the RRHF version (that they did with Ed) with the loud "COOL", and I think I was the only one doing so...So our video of the song has me yelling that and trying to sing the Ed bits! by that time I had rejoined my hubby a bith farther back...

    Anyway, they did most of Accellerate, talked a bit about Canada Geese in Athens, GA, briefly mentioned Obama (then did "Man-Sized Wreath")...Said that at the end of the world tour they'd like our permission to return to British Columbia to record their next album (!!) - of course everyone screamed and hooted and hollered....

    The National (who opened) were really good...but Modest Mouse...not what I expected - they were a little iffy....but for sure REM were pretty solid, tight, and sounded great!

    Screw the review...I found plenty of them by googling...but no setlist! Anyone...please?

    I wish other bands would keep fans informed of setlists the way PJ does...

    Thank heavens they're getting back to proper R.E.M. style set lists.

    No one needs to hear Everybody Hurts at an R.E.M. show
    A democracy on paper, apparently well ordered, regularly subverted by irrational chaos.

    Manchester - 4/6/2000
    London - 20/4/2006
    Dublin - 23/8/2006
    London - 18/6/2007
    New York City - 24/6/2008
    New York City - 25/6/2008 - we will be "what is up" New York
    Manchester - 18/8/2009
    Manchester - 20/6/2012
    Leeds - 6/7/2014
    London - 18/6/2018
