I was at that concert. (My first REM concert.) Where did you get this?

@zoebearism

It was on the end of a vhs tape after some other rem bootleg stuff.

Holy Crap that's my hometown!!!!! Wish I had been aware enough at the time to have gone to that concert!

I saw this tour when I was in college too. At the Quad Cities in IA/IL. I think an auditorium in Bettendorf, IA?? It rocked and I'll never forget it. Thanks for the memories!!

Man, I got here about twenty-two years too late. REM played DeKalb? Shit. I don't think they even carry any of their albums at the big box stores out on Sycamore.

8th row in front of pete buck- my ears rang in german class the next day. Thanks for th memories!

[fabrasham]

O my, I can't believe how long ago this was. Dekalb was such a cool place to be way back when. This show was phenomenal. Was fortunate enough to meet Peter and Micheal too. I really miss those days.

[REMchout]

Same here...my brother got me into them when I was a little shit.

[BeginXtheXBegin]

Wow, that was some wild dancing by Micheal Stipe. Great song, though. And it looks like a great concert, too. Wish I could have been there.

[riansnider]

I wish I could have been there, too... I was about 7 months old.
