| Notes | Saw a lot of great R.E.M. shows over the years but this one always stuck out. Friends had gone to the four previous shows in California at a time when the band's taste for the Golden State was, how shall we say it, yet to be acquired. Those shows were good, but leaving CA for AZ must have had a positive effect, as the show in Tempe was a stunner, boasting some unusual set-list inclusions among them "Boy (Go)," a song Stipe sang on the Golden Palominos album, several terrific covers (see above), a rare-for-this-tour audible of "Radio Free Europe" and the always rare "Underneath the Bunker." This is a mono recording, done with a single Nak 300 mic. I did circulate this show privately to some R.E.M. collectors several years ago, but it deserves, in my opinion, wider distribution. Hear for yourself in the MP3 sample below. |
