Notes: Of all the times JEMS traveled for shows, this 1985 adventure surely ranks near the top: AMorg and Jared flying to London to see Pete Townshend’s Deep End over two nights at Brixton Academy. Jared called it the best show he’d ever seen. Before taking in the reinvention of Pete Townshend, they had two nights to experience a band in ascendance: R.E.M., nearing the end of the tour behind the "Fables of the Reconstruction." Around this time, JEMS made a concerted effort to see more R.E.M. shows, and get the music recorded. From Seattle to Detroit to London, tapes told the story as the band just got better. All these years on, I’m a fan in particular of the guitar-and-voice arrangement Peter and Michael copped for “So. Central Rain,” which appears here. On this night, the penultimate of eight in the U.K., a 26-song set called on nine from "Fables," with selections from "Murmur" and "Reckoning" and, of course, a host of covers. As of this writing, Mike Ziegler’s transfer made at our behest remains on the tracker, courtesy of another pal, ademotte. In fact, you may have grabbed it when it was originally posted by JEMS’ old ally Weedwacker67 in late 2010. But once we got Jared’s tapes cataloged, choosing candidates for an upgrade made eminently good sense. Weedwacker67’s original post presented Ziegler’s excellent transfer but was not mastered. Another reason: technology allows subtle changes to make for optimal sound. We hope you discover that to be the case here; I find the new transfer and mastering place a greater premium on Michael Stipe’s vocals, which sound a good deal clearer. I pinged our dear friend A to get her recollections of the trip, which she described as a “whirlwind near the beginning of my journey with R.E.M.” All the better to have a sharp recording to help remind us of the times and the music from the way back. Thanks of course to Jared for a stellar capture, and to BK for more great work in post. Props to Mike and ademotte for the effort on the earlier installment. Share it freely, and for free!
