  • Best of

  • micheal is not at his greatest in voice terms i mean, but i still love it

  • My own personal mantra. Amazing, amazing song from, in my opinion, the greatest band ever.

  • I was on this tour, Fantastic !!!

  • grazie di tutto!!!!:-(

  • thanks for the UP album!!!!..we will miss you

  • One of the best songs of REM and one of the most important in my life.

  • Thanks so much for sharing!! Love it!!!

  • i identify with this song so much

  • this is my big favorite from them .... great .... amazing

  • @honker66

    I'll be clumsy instead.

  • I was at this concert and it remains to this day one of the happiest days of my live!!!Love you R.E.M! <3

  • Watching this makes the fact they're not touring all the more painful. Damn.

  • I walk unafraid! Can you?

  • He's a poet! He speaks his truth and I identify with it so closely!

  • sounds like a good personal anthem

  • 0.20-1.12 makes me cry

    it's beautiful

  • 0.20-1.12 makes me cry

  • Great intro.!!!

  • These lyrics, to me, are the all time best by REM. As an REM fan since the mid-80's, I've never had REM lyrics resonate to me as much as this song - simply genius.

  • @SrAspirante Strongly stand behind you opinion:)This song got me through really hard times in my youth.

  • why do i have to shiver everytime i listen to their songs?

  • one of their best songs.i love them so much!!

  • I'm not familiar with the songs of R.E.M., but the first song I heard from them was this one. It gave me goosebumps. It really touched me. Michael Stipe is a great musician, his live performance is far better than the studio version (which is also great). He's a genius!

    I'm a fan of R.E.M. now!

  • @sarastipe: This is not an amateur video -- if it were, I'd just listen to it while viewing some other page. Instead, it is a professionally produced video whose intent is presumably to promote the band. Viewer feedback is thus an important part of the process -- "if you can't say something nice, say nothing" is not in play here. I love REM's music (and politics), and merely put in my $.02 about the production values. NOW I am off to do something more interesting. :)

  • Go trough life without fear, I choose to make mistakes rather than to be perfect.

  • Amazing voice! Amazing performance! Amazing Michael!

  • I had a dream that Michael Stipe died and Christopher spoke words at his funeral. It was in 2011

  • Michael is a great GENIUS.

  • Wow, this is a really good version of this, and Stipe-y's voice is top notch this evening! Oh I <3 them so! (but yeah, the video tricks are distracting)

  • listen this is the greartest ever live band.

    they are legends and michael has the greatest ever stage persona

  • sory, Ericpmoss, but haven't you anything more interesting to do in your life that sniping at others' videos???

    If you don't like it, well there are really a lot of videos in youtube! Use your time in a more fruitful way!

  • I wish the camera operators and editors would just hold the dumb camera still, keep it focused, and let us appreciate the band's performance. REM's quality stands on its own, and is only diminished by these amateurish camera tricks. The beginning of the Led Zeppelin DVD has the same nonsense, ruining an otherwise great video.

  • @ericpmoss

    I hate it too, I guess people just can't listen and enjoy the Band's performance anymore.

  • I dont have the ringtone of this song......but dont be fooled by that,i love it anyway

  • at "ringtone" i thought it was another commercial :)

  • haha, me too... cool coment, i guess :p

  • excelente este live!

    its a great show.. actually any show of rem its the greatest

  • Gay song of hope. thanks rem. i want to walk unafraid!

  • Thats an interesting take on it,hadnt occured to me.....you could apply this song to a number of things i suppose,its a fuckin beaut

  • Yea it sure is (an iteresting interpretion) ...

    The -4 comment grade says much about the homophia of an average youtuber.

  • The Dogs Bollocks !!!

  • For those youtuber's who a posted poor comment grade please see the following :

    ''Dogs Bollocks '' is :

    British slang meaning one of the following :

    1) To be the best example of its kind.

    2) of outstanding quality

    3) 'the best ever'

  • I agree with Remmrone... I was always on the fence with UP... and this song. Up is an interesting lil nugget.. and it has it's merits, but wow... this is a great song live. I love the intro.

  • I love "Up",but i think the problem with it is theres just too many slow songs,i never listen to it the whole way through but i love the songs on their own if you know what i mean

  • great song...

  • Great song !!!

  • didnt really care for the song from the album, but then i heard this and now its one of my favorites

  • wow!!!

  • So much meaning, got me through a lot.

    Who needs Jesus when you have R.E.M.?

  • stipe is God

  • actually he´ll be the Holly spirit because of the electron Blue...

  • kiedy będą w Polsce?

  • niedoczekanie nasze...

  • excelente video

  • why do you have all the good videos?

  • Maybe because it's from the band itself? ;-)

  • I think so...

  • This live version is **SO** much better than the studio version (as is 'Boy in the Well').

  • I agree :) I LOVE IT! excellent song, excellent Stipe ;)

  • one of my favorite songs—period.

  • The best performance in Porto Alegre, Brazil!

    Amazing!

  • I'm going to see them tonight (in less than 2 hours)!! :D  Very excited!!

  • one of favorite REM's songs. I like the live version better than the one on the CD.

  • Each,and all REM album's are awsome. They're just the best Music band ever of the world.

    ADORO-VOS R.E.M...

  • I love this song, it was wonderful seeing it live.

    Also, what is peter buck using on his guitar at some points???!!!

  • Superb performance, Michael's voice spot on, one of their best songs, but (sorry) shockingly awful video editing! (I couldn't stand those jerky movements) Still worth ten stars :)

  • Well it's better than a worm.

  • i love it!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love this song!!!!

  • from their best album. up.

  • easy there.. it sure was a great album, but imho pretty far from being their best

  • Wonderful song.....it give me the charge to don't think at the negative thoughts........

    thanks R.E.M._

  • forever<3

  • alucinate en lima el 14 de novienbre en el nacional inperdible!!!

  • I star4ted my universitary life listening this song! with my walkman and myself, listening every afternoon after class and walking home, walking unafraid!

    GREAT SONG!

    Are they coming to Chile, who can answer me?!

    .............!!!!!?!?!??!?!

  • Great night, great band, CLASSIC song :)

  • I just adore this song..

    REM live shows are the best.

    Michael!!!

  • yes?

  • just enthusiastic applause to Stipe ;)

  • si sin duda uno de los mejores demas de REM

  • AS good as it was in the 80's as it now, for all of us to think and make something matter even if it is just ourselves.

  • great song, great performance... love you stipe =)

  • una de las mejores canciones que escuche en mi vida !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Si, es muy buena. Quizás de las últimas. Saludos!

  • i was their! 27th of february 2005!! great night this song really shows off how great his voice really is

  • TEMAZO!!! gran tema

  • brilliant

  • great live song, no question. but the stupid, jerky crazy camerawork is a sad masquerade.

  • This song is great. I like it!

  • R.E.M. gonna be in Prag and i really look forward to it. I just hope they will play this tune for it's fuckin awesome!

    Good job Michael

  • My favorite tune from UP,an underrated album!peace!

  • im prepared to look you in the eye-r u prepared to look in mine brother

  • mr stipe/bredthren,brother,frere.­..i request your intimate appearance in my office,thurs..as inaction on your part is getting my goat-ive waiting long enough.....

  • this song is extraordinary! I hope you guys come to Portugal this time.

  • yes i'll be clumsy instead monsieur stipe,an honest FU to all slaves and their masters of conformity out there in the UNevolved recesses of the planet,school bullies and upwards-a round un in a square un wont go-VIVE le difference.

  • Gay or not Gay , Michael and REM are the best!!!

  • oh, he's gay alright, and that's alright.

    and yes, Maikschoene67, REM are the best

  • its really great when a band like REM can stay humble. Thats one of their greatest characteristics I love this band and I like U2 as well.

  • anyone know what that gadget is peter buck is using on the guitar? seems to create that buzzing sound.

  • An E-Bow.

  • Great song

  • who cares if he is gay? hes still the same person! p.s. song is great

  • I love it!

  • Love this song. Its got a great melody, yet its also got real muscle to it. Truely, a pop masterpiece!!!

  • I thought Up was their best album since Automatic - and this was the best song. Comparable to anything from their back catalog.

  • truly brilliant i could play this song all day long

  • I DO play this song all day long!!

  • hahaha - me too!!!! it helps give me strength when I need it!

  • I love this song. And many more of this great band. Is it true that Michael Stipe has AIDS, i hope not. Greetings from Peru.

  • No. He just looks like he does. Besides not all gay men have aids. That's what Mike Huckabee thinks.

  • Thanks man, and I don`t think all gays have aids. That`s sexist. weel I recommend you the french band Indochien, really great too.

  • don't you know it?

  • Best. Song. Ever.

  • By far one of the best and powerfull songs ever...and its so Michael Stipe:)

    Thanks for writing this!!!

  • I LOVE MICKAEL STIPE

  • this is truly a splendid song. underrated record. this not even the highlight.

  • There's lots of room for you on the bandwagon.

    Giddy up brothers and sisters, the new album is going to ROCK!!!!!!

  • OMG, I love "bandwagon". That is a fantastic song! :-)

  • I'm sooo exited about the new album!

    I'm going to buy it the day it comes!

    R.E.M. ROCKS!

  • dumbass videographers think giving us a seizure makes the video look good. movie is way too jumpy. but the music: r.e.m.: nice job

  • Yeah, what's with that! Damn it!

  • One of their best songs, great version (live). This video however is too jumpy and it doesn't add to the song... No matter, REM is simply the best!!!

  • "Up" is not my favorite Album - but this Song has POWER!!!

  • this song is better in direct than in the album. In the album "up" is a boring song. Here it rocks.

  • The new DVD has a great style. It fits perfect to Stipe's performance and the concerts in 2005. Beautyful and awesome cut! An enjoyment for the eyes.

    But I don't know what's the problem of some of you. Do you really want that every concert is filmed in the same way?? Boring! I'm happy that r.e.m. decided to do it this way!

  • i fucking love REM but this is nausiating to watch

    perfect square is amazing though

  • REM are at their best when they rock like this. REM albums now are far too slow for my liking. Still cannot beat It's the end of the world as i know it( and I feel fine)

  • the most important band in American history is coming back. Seats on the bandwagon are going quickly, folks. Get on now.

  • Thanks R.E.M. for making an unwatchable DVD. Reminds me of the firdt 20 minutes of the French film Irreversable...and I am a fan.

  • damn, you're right, that really is a challenge to watch... I am also a fan, but I wouldnt want to watch this again, even though the audio is great. I feel dizzy after it.

  • I quite like the editing style :)

  • where is this concert???

  • I've seen them play this live. It is one of my favourite live songs. Better live than on record. Still a great song either way

  • Oh, the exactly word is AWESOME!!! Is true, the direct version is better that the album version! REM forever!

  • Not one of my favourite songs, still an awesome band though. Can't wait for the new album next spring!!

  • This is the best music of this great band!

  • Better than the album version, imo.

  • OMG....Cant wait for the release of this dvd. Those gigs at the Point were some of the best by REM...Think I can see us in the crowd shots...we were near the front...YIPEE!

  • hold me my love or leave me hiii-ii-i-i--gh!

  • Love this song from Up!:)

  • awesome

  • Like the Perfect Square version betterm this one's a little "flat."

  • love the song. very interesting angles in the video but for god's sake! get that man a steady-cam! :)

  • great great.....this is my favourite song...thanks:):):)t*

  • 4ever in my soul :o)

  • by this rate they'll upload the entire dvd onto youtube before it's in stores :|

  • Very nice performance!!

    And Michael's shoes rules :D

  • Thanks for sharing gusy! One of the best songs of the shows and definitely THE song from Up. Still having to get used to the unusual editing of the video...it will take me some time till I get to like this dvd but from experience those things tend to become my favourites in the end :)
