This was recorded on July 1, 1985 for the German WDR / WWF "MUSIC CONVOY" TV show in Nordrhein-Westfalia. Host Englishman Alan Bangs is one Germany's most renowned Rock journalists and radio djs. Bless him for taking REM into the show when they were virtually unknown in Europe.
Great performance, but what the hell happened to Stipe's appearance?

This must have been a great concert. Driver 8 is a great outdoor song. When you sing about trains, it's best to be outdoors.

Michael Stipe is looking oddly, or is that aptly, germanic in ths clip...

Stipe was depressed in 1985 and gained a lot of weight. 'That was my Marlon Brando period', Stipe has said in a interview.
