Love this song and I enjoy the interesting comments here as well. Many years ago I remember seeing REM on tv doing an unplugged version of Driver 8 at their place in Athens- the coolest unplugged performance I've ever seen. Was it on MTV or VH1? I see an acoustic version of Driver 8 posted here- very cool, but it isn't the version I saw. Anyone out there have that performance?
This is the song that brought me to REM. My greatest musical experience was seeing REM live in Perth Western Australia in 1988. They blew a fuse of some kind in their amp stack about halfway thru the show and Michael just stood on a chair in the middle of the stage and sang two whole songs acapella while the rest of the band and the roadies sorted out the problem. It was at the Perth Concert and the accoustics are awesome there. Chills just to think of it....
One of the best songs of all time. Nobody makes music today like these pioneers! REM loved them then and love them now. Thanks for posting, good quality sound.
What a haunting song
...
I just can't get it out of my head...not that's a bad thing or anything
