they opened their show last June out at Jones Beach NY (an outdoor ampitheatre) with this song in what was nothing less than a torrential downpour (this following a 1 hour delay due to severe thunder and lightning.) it was unbelievable. timely, of course, but in a showman's way. and delivered gamey as well.
it poured for 2 hours that night, and rem played the entire set with a fervor and spirit i hadn't seen in a while. it was a joy to behold.
"Did Bob Dylan write that?" "Oh, Creedence. Whatever." It's stuff like this that makes me love Michael Stipe. Thanks, heidigretel, for putting up all these spectacular videos.
R.E.M. opened a rain show in Costa Mesa, CA with this song back in the Fables of the Reconstruction tour. 1985/ 86?
