[bonobaby26]

I could watch this for hours!

[KeepinItRealMofo]

Now THIS is a band! I can feel the love :D

[ionescutube]

what the fuck is he doing with his feet on the piano? not a nice move!

[skellie151]

I really love this song, but it does remind me of the 'Pet Rescue' theme tune. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

[nightie82]

[bonecakabukidoll]

rem is poetry and power music

thakx all the best

[LRonOMG]

what is peter buck playing

[deborama19]

Peter doesn't play on this song, neither does Bill, it's all Michael and Mike, on the album too (and the oboe player from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra).

[asloem]

@LRonOMG peter buck doesn't play on this song... it purely consists of michael on vocals and mike on piano (with the backing guy doing the maxi keyboard string parts)

[meeliethediv]

I love these boys

Thanks for tis video

You, I thought I knew you

You, I cannot judge

You, I thought you knew me,

This one laughing quietly

Underneath my breath

Nightswimming.

The photograph reflects,

Every streetlight a reminder

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night,

deserves a quiet night.

[Lizzy0191]

those are my favourite bits too =]

this song is pure genius

[milkoma]

...da brividi...beati voi che l'avete vissuto dal vivo.

[loolynewbie]

[lovestipe]

wow wonderful show.

thanks Stefinitely for posting

[persanUr]

It's beautiful to see that also a great artist can blown away by spectacular piano-playing..

[smudger1979football]

Was the Gig of a lifetime..

[Twilight37]

I'm sad to say I'm old enough to have seen the Bowl at Milton Keynes back in '95 (Monster tour) and that probably edged it in terms of REM's performance..this gig however had Feeder which with the both of them was massive !! the MT gig had the Cranberries and Radio Head..not really for me.

[slpindigo]

man I can't for them to tour again.

[fioryangel]

what to say...one of most beautiful songs ever written.

[echeneso34]

the picture on the dasboard it's fly away

[SolarGranulation]

Unbelievable day and that was one of my favourite moments. It was just... perfect. The whole thing. Besides, they honoured everyone's tickets despite the delay due to the bombings; class act.

[johnckw]

I was there - it was the last night of their tour, just after the London bombings. Best gig

[Joniene]

Yeah! Jeff, I love this song!

[annalaaa]

its all rehearsed anyways.. i saw the same tour in cardiff and michael climbed up on the piano during this song then there is only one word 2 describe the show- AWESOME!! michael stipe is a legend and may he carry on writing amazing songs like this for many more years

[yellaway]

@annalaaa I agree completely about it being an amazing song. It is awesome!

One small correction, though; Michael Stipe didn't write this one. Mike Mills did. :)

[yellaway]

@annalaaa Well, to be exact, Stipe DID write the words, but Mills was the one who wrote the music. :)

[AntonREM]

A Great one!

Thanks!

Very close-up, I love it!

[BinkyTheDoormat]

exactly man ;) Mike and Michael have known each other for a long time...and they're cool like that =P

[blowmonkey]

they're buddies, man nothing wrong with that.a

[Susie5623]

I'd slap Michael Stipe silly for messing with my musical equipment. I'm sure he'd love to have me sit on his guitar and swig a beer. What disrespect. I don't care if it is an upright, it's a piano. Fool.

[claudiamckinney]

Michael don't play guitar, foo.
