REM Live at Tyrone's 5/12/81 (audio) Part 3

Up to Par, Katie buys a Kitchen-sized, but not me in.

Let me ply my theory: I think JMS was able to take phrases sometimes, and pick them apart like Charlie Parker would pick scales apart, and play all around the core without touching it, so in this theory, Katie bar the door becomes Katie buys a kitchen sized, but not me in. Ive thought this since the first time I heard it.

HOLY SHIT! I just saw the image of the Off the Wall Hall, in Lawrence, KS. I saw them there and the Outhouse, same town.

michael was so cute in the pig-latin/ german/celtic/russian/mongolia­n/cantonese days. Loved it, just making fun. "sitting still, is like another language.

[lyletuck]

?

Are you saying he has mis-identified "Just A Touch" and it's really "Windout?"

Cuz he hasn't, and it isn't.

[ClueSign]

Just A Touch = Windout, but I'll take it! They were young and figuring it out!

[1REMfan]

They had Just a Touch in '81?! That was released on Pageant.

A lot of later album tracks were written early on...I was pretty surprised hearing some of the early bootlegs at first.

[fadedmemory90]

Can you imagine being able to go back in time and seeing this show? For probably a buck! Unreal how much great music they had so early. But that's why they're the best.

[leeraconteur]

Sounds like bits were used for Hyaena on LRP.

[jehouse]

@fadedmemory90 And dollar peppermint schnapps with a draft beer!

[PhilFish21]

Pageant was my intro to REM in high school and this was the song I played non-stop. So great to hear the stuff I had only read about. I think this whole internet thing might catch on after! Thanks!

[keithm940]

@1REMfan and Sitting Still was on Murmur.

[didiroesler]

REMchout, you are surely one of the best guys around!!!!

[WickedWings07]

Wow, they really had Sitting Still nailed down right from the get-go. Awesome stuff!
