REM - The Passenger @ Stockholm - 1998

[lordsalisbury1]

Michael Stipe was so sexy in 1998. If you youtube REM in 98, Stipe is a monster. Always. 1998 was his year.

[ZzZ0ne]

he should at least have taken his shirt off when tributing iggy :)

[elpedomasgrande1]

pff 6:06 stupid fan!!! omg he pulls his arm!!

[merlinwehrs]

he was higher than an airplane

[napoca01]

Pretty awesome. But 18 people don't ride through the city tonight.

[TancoMartin]

good cover, his voice is great when he sings cause when he speaks he is too gay LOL !

[BeginXtheXBegin]

15 people didn't ride through the city tonight...

[Lieu3C4]

The name of the The Doors song to be heard just before 4:40 escapes me.

[chromakeyerguy]

@Lieu3C4 Love her madly

[SoSaidtheSun]

he got the year wrong, '77

[mrpoopboss]

stockholm in sweden sweden are best

[DerAuenlaender]

Nice cover... I really like(d) REM... But you can't really compare this with Iggy Pop ;)

[bmclaughlin01]

OMG, this shows how bad REM actually are now. Nothing good since GREEN. There really should be laws on bands being able to destroy classics. Listen to Iggy's live Manchester version from the 70's if you need proof.

[bobdy9988]

@bmclaughlin01 That version is PHENOMENAL.

[scrubmatic]

Great cover. Ignore the ignorant comments below this. You can find the Vienna show on YouTube now.

[bmclaughlin01]

@scrubmatic - Seriously Buddy, are you for real. My grandmother does a better cover of this.

[scrubmatic]

@bmclaughlin01 - She sounds amazing. I'd love to meet her. But fine, I'll downgrade my opinion to it's good, not great. Nothing compares to Iggy or your grandmother.

[SuperBuzz71]

Stipe is his gay make-up days. Don't mind Gay but despise gay make-up. The drummer in a another time zone. Pushing the beat is one thing but this sucks.

[bobdy9988]

Stipe. What a pretentious, awkward retard.

[thehoff1982]

stipe is a nob - but they did some awesome tracks!

[MrGuitarlover24]

i love rem but this was not a good idea

[1darkmatter]

@MrGuitarlover24 I love Iggy Pop, and this wasn't a good idea.

[mattyp3400]

shut up and play the song already

[lyonslaforet]

I've got the whole show on a bootleg called Up North. The quality is great! Just like their Iggy Pop cover!

[prostomax66]

I don't know., but I haven't felt ANY embracement ! I LIKED it! :) thanks

[macarno71]

Not possible to scratch such a song ! Dramatic !

[macarno71]

Dramatique !

[Takac1979]

Pretty decent!

[keeponridin23]

can't be 72! must be 77

[teox88]

It's great, just a little too fast

[giorgionedesideri]

i love UP live era...and heidigretel!!;-)

[heidigretel]

@giorgionedesideri

thank you for kind comment :)))))

[Pissugar]

hell I love REM but this was an embarrassing performance

[Alfeeonzo]

I was looking up At my most beautiful, and saw that this was the B side to that single. This made my day. being a huge REM fan and a huge iggy pop fan

[viruzzfx]

Simply great.... YEAHHHHH

[cocknose2k7]

Dude, its a TRIBUTE, not a COVER!

[XschindlerX]

Dude, he's not even singing the proper melody. Sad rendition.

[billabongxx9]

dude is he fucked up on something??

[It5ik]

Anybody got the Man On The Moon of this show??? please

[Akashi24]

Not bad, but I prefear the original one ;)

[jackandbruce]

[kayonalarsen]

[heidigretel]

[tondic]

totally destroyed song....

[gorgeoushammer]

agreed

[sliskigt]

look at the gal at 5:24 :) dosen't it seem like shes having a great time?

[punschpralinen]

You meant 6:24. ;D I also noticed her. And yeah, you're right, she looks downright unhappy... who wouldn't be in that pushing crowd?

[sliskigt]

haha poor girl :)

[danicocho]

Iggy es el Dios Rock

[shamblesthatisbaby]

Is it just me that thinks Stipe is being an arse in this video?

[minuko76]

Qualche volta il nostro Michael ci dovrà pur dire che cosa s'era fumato di così buono per farsi una cravatta col microfono.. Comunque era troppo bello con tutti quei brillantini sugli occhi..

[wilsonerasec]

infatti...vorrei saperlo anch'io!

[thepaashaas]

Does anybody have the show of rem the passenger where the PA set up breaks down, so they end up with most of the time only drums en the crowd going lalalala

[heidigretel]

This show is Wien (Vienna) 1998. The Passenger song of this show is not easy to find. I saw it once on youtube but now it is gone. Maybe copyright problem. :)

[montserrat537]

does anyone know what's the name of a drummer? thanks a lot.

[heidigretel]

Yes. His name is Joey Waronker. :)

[7Tonia]

Once again a great clip from heidigretel! Thanks a lot!

[heidigretel]

You are very welcome. :)

[CrazyCat9898]

very nice passenger. Is that a song of R.E.M.???

[montserrat537]

^^yea, true ;-)

it's a song of Iggy Poop.

[heidigretel]

Yes, this is Iggy Pop song. :)

[ALEXREM76]

We are lucky REM has many great videos for many many years. :)
