R.E.M. Have You Ever Seen the Rain

[bcarman14]

this show was so awesome, REM was great live

[Vitalogy7]

lol, the thunder scared the crap out of when it happened.

amazing concert nontheless. ;D

[DeathnoteGirl8290]

I think i'll still wet from that show X3

[2eyes4]

I saw R.E.M. in 1999 in Minnesota. It rained near the end of that show and they ended it sooner. I don't blame them for cutting concerts short with the threat of lightning and or rain. Look what happened to those Scouts in Iowa. Should something bad have happened, R.E.M. would have been blamed for doing something they should not have. R.E.M. does their best for their fans and shows.

They haven't played it live since 2003. I don't think they were planning on playing it last night, either. But special circumstances...

[windex562]

Mike said they never play "its its the end of the world". Was he being sarcastic? B/c thats one of the more famous R.EM. songs. Anyone know?

[javertno1]

They don't play it very often. I saw them perform it 2 out of the last 3 times they played it. They opened their MSG show on 11/4/04 because it was the day after Bush won his reelection. Next time was on 7/16/05 in Hyde Park, London. Then last night as a way of thanking the fans for remaining in the horrible weather. Michael called the band together, then said to the crowd, "You don't mind if we play and extra song, do you?" Next thing you heard was, "That's great, it starts with an earthquake"

i was there in section 5L and i was pissed during the hour and a half rain delay but once rem got on stage u didn't cair about the rain and plus they didn't realy cut it short they did about 23-26 songs. and they did alot of songs that they were not planing on playing. it was f@*$ing aswome

[Frequency95]

I wish i was there

Except for the whole wet and cut short thing

[AcoU2sticMike]

I will never forget the amazing, brilliant, miserable experience that was last night at Jones Beach.

"We should have signed the Kyoto Treaty. Because this is just stupid."

"I swore I'd never do this one again, but here it is. And completely unrehearsed."

.....'That's great it starts with an earthquake...'

Amazing.

I'm still wet.

Thanks for the great video. I was there last night for the unbelievable show and I was so happy that someone captured the beginning of the concert.

[deborama19]

Awesome show, love Stipe's charisma! Thanks for putting this up!

[mets6891]

this was absolutely brilliant. wonderful show.

does anyone have a setlist possibly?

[ansky81]

Being up in the front of the Mezz last night was crazy!!

[schwatto1]

Last night was one of the best nights of my life. They made up for it by playing a phenominal show.

[TheGreatGallbo]

I almost died in the upper balcony when the lightning hit up there...

And then for REM I decided to move to the floor level.

One of the most magical nights of my life

[AcoU2sticMike]

I almost died from a heart attack. Sounded and felt like a bomb went off.

[LOSLOSEEBOYTHEI]

Last night was phenomenal.

Stipe took the ambiance and fucking ran with it.
