Have you ever seen R.e.m. live?
 

well, I saw them @ Arena Civica in Milan last month..and I will see them very soon in Turin :D
OMG!!!!! they'are INCREDIBLE!!!!! Accelerate sounds sooooooo good live! And they transmitted such an energy!!
here some photos I did...

never saw them live but certainly one on my "have to" list.

yeah you really have to go to see them!!!!!!!!
it's a great experience.. now I'm addicted to R.e.m. ...
I don't know.. :D

those are some sweet pics. I never got to see REM live.

I saw them once on the Green tour, just before they made the move up from halls to arenas, and they were stunning. I saw them again on the Up tour, and wished I hadn't.

ive always been an admirer from a distance but i went through a stape of listening to their entire discography a few months back.... i am an admirer from close up now!

never have and never will see them live.

i was flirting with that idea to see them about a month ago but well...I guess I don't miss much.

point of view :rolleyes: :cool:

why?! Try before sayin' that.. ;)

maybe you don't like R.e.m. ghgh :D

I saw them at the Rock en Seine Festival last month. It was not so bad, but it's not the kind of band I like to see live, it's too.... you know, mainstream, catchy,...

^^damn u must have been gutted to miss A.Whinehouse.

No, I didn't want to see her show, I was the only one who was laughing when they 've announced the cancellation.

I saw them in '95 (Sonic Youth were opening, only reason I was there) and they were incredibly boring and the exact opposite of energetic. I tried to be open minded, but they really reminded me of what seeing the Stones in '82 must have been like - old guys wearing clothes they look ridiculous in trying to act sexy while sidemen carried them through their own songs. I left after about 5 songs figuring I wouldn't have to deal with parking lot hassles then.

All the REM shows I've seen were in the 80's......and outside of one or two times they were always amazing.

Well, yeah, I know... but in my defence, I think that, historically, Up was quite a bad period for REM. They were still in the process of regrouping after Bill Berry quit, and were probably as close as they've ever been to calling it a day. Their live shows at the time kind of reflected that uncertainty.

Hell, they even had some decent albums in the '80s too. At least at first...

Was that when they were touring Monster? I'd have liked to have seen that tour.

Agreed.

I think Up is their masterpiece. Its beautiful and warm

I saw rem at twickenham the other week. It was amazing. A real good sing along and dance along. It wasn't pretending to be cutting edge, they played the hits, rocked it, danced and smiled big smiles. We danced and sang and smiled big smiles back at them
genius gig

I saw them a couple of years ago at Werchter-festival. It was very mediocre but then again I'm not that big of a fan.

someones nicked their guitar! thats not on (no mention of SY in the article)

thank you!!!! :)
:)

thanks;)

yeah I love Up too;
well this a special album for me, beacuase I discovered R.e.m. with this album!
and the I discovered the other one..
ah At first I really did't like Accelerate ( the last album) , 'cause I thought it was superficial and quite boring..
Then I saw them live..I must admit that Accelerate sounds really good live!

I know, someone has stolen Peter's guitar..:mad:

I've seen them live 3 times......I love them.

I love you too :p :o
;)

I did see them. I had to do a little research to make sure--that's how big an impact the show was. Shea Stadium, 18 august 1983. Their show was notable in that the field of the stadium, unlike during songs from Joan Jett and the Police, did not move under the motion of the crowd.

Shit. How many of you weren't even alive then?

at Arena Civica I was on the parterre too, in the field , you know, in the third row ..and I had no problems at all..only when Michael approached the first row..well I had been a little pressed..but nothing serious..
