REM 6-9-84 Passaic 08. So. Central Rain

[painxtreme]

I was there during and before these years, and still, just damn.

[ebvet1]

Both of them playing Rickenbackers - fucking awesome!!!

[BuddyKatt]

one of my fav rem songs,

great lyrics

did you never call; waited for your call,

these rivers of suggestion are driving me away

the trees will bend, the cities wash away

... a girl without a dream

[wellspout]

the wind blowing, the sky daft with tears and a creeping unwound laughter in the background, the best novel written in the opaque '80's was the first 4 albums of this strange little band

[Nightrainrocks]

I would like have the entire vid in avi. can you get it me?

[brewer92]

I saw them a few months after this in Denver at the Rainbow Music Hall. The 200-300 people there were in for a treat....

I still remember Michael Stipe's unintelligible singing. He wrapped his voice around the songs until it became another guitar, all feedback and passion. Amazing.

[taterskins]

lolz my dad was here u can see him and his gf in da vid

[ThatHansonCover]

this song is a tear jerker

[JUD97]

I was at this show to see one of many during the early 80's my fav band of my 20's

[ChgoChef]

I'm crying right now because this brings back all kinds of memories. I told my friend Pat that I would take one of those and I pointed at Michael. He was so beautifull with his curls and she said hell you don't want someone that could pass for your brother.

I didn't know that they were from the states when I first saw them. It wasn't until after Michael started speaking that I heard the southern drawl that came out of his mouth. But, he covered it up well.

[cuculainn57]

Yes - they are all from athens, georgia. his curls are beauthtiful - currently he is completely bald but it is 24 years later - they are one of my favourite bands of all time - they are going on tour again to promote their new cd "Accelerate" which comes out April Fools Day.
