I'll take the rain

[arcadefire82]

one of my top 10 R.E.M. songs

[mallafets]

Simply class.Never heard his live before but just like always they make it seem so easy. Great song and performance.

[Girino9]

I like the rough, raunchy sound of a live recording...Michael Stipe can sing anything...

[Digidanny]

He used to think... Now he's taken wing himself. This song is about accepting life as it comes. What a beautiful and humbeling song...

[remrule]

[DAH210774]

[lidiabarbarita]

[Terminator958]

Is that Joey Waronker on drums?

[Terminator958]

I agree

[SarahJ125]

awesome song by a awesome band

[philknight31]

Great song. Reveal is possibly their best album. This is possibly the best song on the album, along with I've been high, imitation of life, and sje just wants to be. The music is so completely alive and techincally astounding. R.E.M. is musical genuis.

[Merlin3167]

i love it.. r.e.m the best band ever..

[macskasegg]

It was in Germany, Cologne (Köln) I think, that was a great show I had it on video tape but I lost it. Thanks for uploading!

[lordtrax8]

love it!

[caglareylen]

great band great song!!!

[Prosmooth55]

Around the Sun was REM's first bad album. It did contain a few great, great songs but the album as a whole sucked. Reveal however was and is a masterpiece. Those who say that REM was a dead band after Bill left haven't truly listened to this album. It's a glorious summertime album. Maybe the finest since The Beach Boy's Pet Sounds. A classic. 10 or twenty years from now, I think it will be regarded as such.

[lordtrax8]

don't think so, mate. around the sun gas some strong messages..

[faraway3000]

Damn that sounds good.

[vaaalle]

Perfect

[Delasphere]

fantastic !

[Tonnnyy]

Too bad the camera work sucks.

[solidsn2004]

It is indeed one of the best songs of Reveal album.

Of course Reveal is underestimated as many songs have a torporific beginning but they tend to be impeccable!!!

I am glad I've watched this song live too!!!

[r3n4to]

I agree with you, for me, I'll take the rain is one of the best songs of Reveal, and the whole R.E.M albums.

[NotTheRedBaron8]

soo good.

not a well known son.one of my favorites.

[bitterlimeparakeet]

I've never seen a live version of this song before, awesome! Probably my favorite R.E.M. song ever. Thank you so much for posting this! =)

[sheehan83420]

absolutely beautiful

[Metsfan980]

It sounded really bad in the beginning, and then the song came together beautifuly. I've never seen/heard this song live, and I'm really pleased. (Also yes, this song alone is reason to own Reveal)

[TDaddict]

ahhh that was awesome, thanks for uploading.

REM rules :)

[Tillyspillo]

Thank you for this "New year's gift"!!! This is my favourite song of R.E.M.!!!

[NatashaPetrovna]

May this song have something to do with Rain Phoenix?

[ochreimprint]

I've never heard this song before

[EclipseNT]

it's by far one of their best since bill berry left the band
