Bill's drums sound bad- ass on this song. He's really doing alot back there- makes you really appreciate him when you hear a track like this.

I doubt this is from 1981. Michael's vocals sound much more low and "serious" than he ever did In the early days I haven't ever heard this song, and I saw them a million times between fall of 1980 and about 1982. Pretty sure this song would be more recent, like mid-80s.

This seems to be a very transitional era, mixing some of the earlier 60's pop/garagey numbers and playing the newer songs that would end up on the early albums. This song is an anamoly, quite like Skank; kind of experimental and loose.

i've been on the r.e.m. timeline website and i've seen this on some of the setlits from around 1981 to 1982 but i've never heard this before. Did you get this off of a bootleg? Thanks!

i pulled it off of the live tape i had of it (like with When I Was Young). This is actually from the same Friday's show that I have some audio posted from: 11/06/81.

Elements of Old Man Kensey and I think a touch of Auctioneer in the verses. I don't know about the B sections.
