@themooddisorders i second this completly......it really does my head in that U2 always get looked and rated much more highly than REM and in my opinion its just not right,U2 have nothing on REM.
in these days of available music for free I'm still spending money to feed myself with sounds and words. I love REM, U2, PJ20 and owe them so much. I knowh there are plenty of other them artists that I will discover and choose to make that journey with. If only I could say thank you to all of them. Eddie would probably be the first :-)!!
I am becoming of the opinion that mainland Europe is more cultured and civilised than Britain. I can't help but think that the fountain in the middle of the crowd would either have been trashed with all sorts of rubbish like beer cans or would have people rolling about dancing in it
@TootsyJackson : You do realize that this concert was in Germany right? I'm assuming you're British? Hey, no offence, a'ight? I just find it funny. :D
Now that is how to work a crowd. They have 30-40 songs that rock a crowd but always play too many slow songs. This is the same crowd who look bored at other songs. Watch the reaction to this stunning song.
Seen them a few times and the highs are very high.
@dascotton I'm with ya! I love watching the crowd shots - and MS - during this performance. The crowd seems to get the song completely, arrives prepared, and makes a huge contribution with its participation. They contemplate during the comtemplative parts of the song, but they're right there with MS the whole time so that when he turns up the intensity, they come in right on the beat and equally intense! Great Clappers! Did you see the same thing with non-German or non-European crowds?
one of the reasons I cannot get enough of REM is the lyrics combined with that unique voice. ...."climb a tree and dump a load on your head', bergamot and vetiver" "I believe in time as an abstract'..... if michael isn't in the song writers hall of fame maybe fans can start a campaign.
U2 has fallen out of favor with me because that passion is gone. "sexy boots'" come on. ha. this is the longest I have written anything on- line. ever.
@SheaS100 Best record that year for me....it was the only one I bothered to buy. I have a feeling that the next REM record is going to be truly spectacular. I'd put money on it, but I am not a betting man
@Cassie8810 Well have you heard the news? It's all done and being mixed now. Collapse Into Now. Mike Mills says it is reminiscent of Automatic For The People. I sure hope so!

@themooddisorders I don't get tired of a single one of their cds, since 1979. They are actively political without being whiney and bitchy like U2.

@61wolfy the best tool for me is try to ignored them first and them they start asking for question.
Most of time it doesn't work if you try to force it to them.
I always ask 3 QUEST----IONS?
1- Why should any country's, should pay back there dept and, to who they own the money?
2- Why we pay are rent?
3- Why money?
With these 3 QUEST----IONS, People automatically start thinking most of the time.
Take care my friend.
