R.E.M. - 10/02/85 Germany 22. Ghost Riders In The Sky

[harecarroll]

not as high as the lead singer though.

[mowgli2071]

Higher, huh...? Something -or someone, is high.

Well he's not the first lead singer to get high and sing Ghost Riders.

[rexodiego]

rem bravo.. 

[69camarofreak]

he is so messed up

[macclan4]

Peter looks like he's having so much fun - I miss those high energy performances from him. And Michael, bless his heart...I'm not sure he even knows where he is. Cracks me up! Really enjoyed this whole show.

[Melly41982]

WOW... he still had hair then!!!

[ppeek2]

what a pot head

[dogmrdn]

O NO THEY DI'INT!!

[moosemousecar]

idiot pure stupid sucks big time rem, douse bags,no doubt about it; moosemousecar,HA%1

[erkjan]

its a The spotnicks song!!

[Dhanijel1]

@erkjan

Actually it was written by Stan Jones but Burl Ives made the first recording of it.

[tamfunk]

Fucking brilliant, what a version.

[not2vu]

I'm not gonna comment and move on.

[Chimey89]

Mr Stipe with hair!

[steerhead9]

1985... ooh, I bet Michael's not too proud of this one... But, like most things - he got better with age.

[bigals1000]

what a shit cover R E M are pants

[1chisai]

@johnyoungstewart. Yea. Thank you. It is the singer here that ruins it. This song is one of the most recorded songs ever. It's spine chilling. Listen to Elvis Presley just REHEARSING it, not even performing. It blows your mind. When he shouts ai ai at the right moment it;s perfect.

[1chisai]

I was just thinkin I never heard a bad version of this song and now I have!

[johnyoungstewart]

I agree! I not only love this tune, but I have seen REM many times, including 1984 at Larry's Hideaway in Toronto. The band is great. Michael is crap!

[Katshuri]

Umm...

I promise he's good sober...

[valvestem]

what a bag lapper  the lead singer is

[TheDaharbin]

feel sorry for these good musicians backing this arrogant asshole that thinks he can shit on a classic, get a real job dude, i know 5 guys that can smoke your voice.

[DjMagnificien]

good guitar

poor singer

[francopersicurezza84]

poor singer?m stipe is one of the best singer ever....listen a couple of songs like everybody hurts or losing my religion..and fuck you fool....

[DjMagnificien]

he is really drunk, and this version sucks -end of conversation-

[rtruss40]

What where they palying in the same bar The Blues Brothers did

[kerihobo]

terrible O_o

[1dudeman2]

wow  fucking cool

[shanustheanus]

LMFAO!!!!!!! mikey boy!

WTF XD

I gotta admit allthough its the same thing over and over, and done horrifically, its really punky and i love it!!!

just think if it was guns n' roses axl wouldn't have even gone on cos he's a puff. johnny rotten and sid vicious would be proud, awesome performance...or good attempt...no wait bad attempt so its awesome!...whatever its fuckin punk!! :P

[ilbjergbo]

this is fucking blasfemi. shame on you R.E.M.

[weaverfever55]

What The*&^*&$##$&*UI+) THIS Guy Could only get 5 words right in the WHOLE SONG,have another hit

[2degucitas]

I think Michael Stipe is a bit stoned here. Buck gets to showcase his talent.

[OropherThranduil]

ok,,,,

[2degucitas]

yeah, ok. A LOT!!!

[Jammerkevin]

BlueGrassMovements

[rockweaver]

what has he taken! fab bless!

[redpaul79]

@rockweaver Stipe talked in some interviews about his addiction to Quaalude (barbiturates? not sure) some shit they banned in the late 80s--he said if they hadn't outlawed it he'd've been dead in a few years...

[a1950hotrodcat]

Killer! REM doin' surf! Bravo for posting the entire show.
