  • I wonder if they had any idea then just how huge they would become.

  • @scott30771 R.E.M. did make a few TV appearances for Murmur. Rolling Stone mentioned it as their favorite album of 1983 I think. That got some attention for R.E.M., but they stayed underground mostly until Document.

  • great footage.

  • truly love these guys. Thanks Elpantalla1.

  • saw them in charlotte that same year at the last show of the "reconstruction" tour. effing amazing!

  • Nice to see Bill. Most of the time he is shoved way int he back of the stage and you can't even see him.

  • yay! that's at my college!  great show!

  • It's funny that I was 7 at this time and already had this album. REM wasn't anything but a southern college underground band, but everyone knew them in Raleigh. It's just strange to think about how young I was, but REM was locally mainstream.

  • this is THE BEST! I saw them 8 times in 1985, but not this one.... daytime holy shit I may have been sober.... and Mike Mills is super crisp and on point!!!! god I love these guys

  • Extraneus3771 Well peter buck is strongly influenced by the byrds,just listen to their guitars:a beautiful arpeggio/strumming combination...i think peter took some of that and perverted it in a good way,but obviously rem and the byrds are very different bands

  • @MARCHERET Raleigh rocks!

  • They sound like the 1960's band, The Byrds.

  • @puseye Haha they sound nothing like the byrds (not the byrds are bad, they're great too) but i don't see the similarities like you man, but hey people are different right.

  • @Extraneus3771 More like the Monkees!

  • @Extraneus3771 They sound like Def leppard.

  • Thanks for posting. I was at this show and it's great to see footage from my "youth"

  • Great job, man. Bring me more and more, please... Love REM...

  • I love REM, but michael is kinda strange on this vid... ¬¬

    They just came to Brazil this weekend, it was wonderful, best show ever!

  • Great footage. Thanks for sharing.

  • Thank you so very much for posting.
