REM - The Great Beyond - 1999

[b24harman]

I love REM and this is a great song. My only problem is Peter Buck with his stupid kicks and jumps and twirls. His performance is one of the cheesiest I have ever seen, especially for a guy of his age.

[avamp69]

This performance is full of energy...wow

[JasonArthur700]

Great Performance except for the drummer... that dude needs to calm the fuck down.

[angrydonny]

Great performance!

[farfromperseo]

It's very good!! Superlative Michael, thanks thanks thanks...

[asloem]

i love peter's spin at 3.14! priceless!

[gioani8rambo]

@asloem lol it's great

[IamConnorMacLeod]

I love how Letterman promoted Andy Kaufman's biopic... He really liked that guy, I read.

[chrisschin2]

This song sounds alot like Imatation of life

[bmpenney]

If you were ever cynical or doubtful-this is your song

[juancelf1]

that sort, I wanted to climb the Spanish subtitled video and audio youtube canceled me ¬¬

[juancelf1]

the GREAT HIT

[cman86s]

America's answer to Peter Garret:)

[Ubootat]

i love how into the song he gets

[capricious71]

This is good but the studio version is incredible.

[asloem]

@capricious71 i agree but i always thought live versions had slightly more energy... maybe not these days and michael stipe never moves onstage anymore (not like he used to anyway)

[RealTime88]

@capricious71 I have to agree. It's a great song I must say it is not a big surprise these guys would pay tribute to Andy Kaufman. Remember the great song Man On The Moon. Genius!!!

[Graffitti74]

My favorire REM song. Interesting that in the movie Dumb and Dumber Jim Carrey yells out, We've landed on the Moon! 5 yrs later would portray Andy Kaufman in the movie Man on the Moon. Damn I love this song and can't believe its 10 yrs already. Time flies so fast.

[darkoath13]

REM is ownage =D

[jordanbassp]

"I'm pushin' an elephant up the stairs"

greatest song lyric ever!

[kashmir01]

Well it seems that you haven't heard the following lyrics:

'alright, stop, collaborate and listen, ice is back with a brand new invention'

and i guess you've changed your mind before you even finished reading it....

[jordanbassp]

hahaha riiiiiight.

[hooskerdu1]

Is Peter Buck the epitomy of cool or what?

[Rocknrollradio92]

Nah, Steve McQueen is, Peter Buck is quite close though.

[eretzsus]

[Connerisawesome]

I think Michael has no idea what to do with his hands in this video :). Hes still an awesome dude though.

[XxPRHackerXx]

lol

[yamomekomame]

ドラムがすごくいい→drumming is very good

[thecrikster]

enjoy it while warner allows it to be online...this is the last great stand of R.E.M. :-(

After this they lost something...that chemistry was gone. RIP REM

FYI I still love them and hope they succeed in the future

[davekat]

what can I call this?

Imitation of irony?

J. Phoenix--A.Kaufman--D.Letterma­n--Man in the Moon--R.E.M--The Great Beyond

Of course I found this video...

[evilknivel84]

i wish they would still play with joey waronker on drums. great performance

[ALEXREM76]

Michael flies catch!

[ALEXREM76]

michael alla fine dal minuto 3:46 si mette a schivare tutti i suoni che lo circondano

[CrazyCat9898]

Yes, the man of the moon is back. Great to see the band in this year, it´s funny to see the moving from Michael.

[RadiantCowbells]

Theres a new planet in the solar system there is nothing up my sleeves I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs i'm tossing out punchlines that were never there over my shoulder a piano falls crashing to the ground in all this talk of time talk is fine but I dont want to stay around what can't we pantomime just close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams me and you with wings on our feet I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs i'm tossing out punchlines that were never there over my shoulder a piano falls.
