DAMN Wasn't Bill Berry the finest power?? REM's Heartbeat lost, just replaced by that looser Rieflin now. Miss you, Unibrows!!!
Thank you, Chout.

@qba5775: a very very under-rated drummer. And one of my favourites.

Agree completely -- Berry never did anything too fancy, but he did exactly what was needed at just the right moment, with the perfect blend of power & finesse.

Thanks for posting this show...REM at the start...first few albums playing in front of 100s versus 1000s.
What is the source of this? I have seen a lot of great vids from
passiac...late 70s early 80s... Van Morrison, REM, Many others too...
Were concerts filmed by the venue?
Curious.

I saw them around this time...it may have been in 82. NO ONE knew who they were except college radio. I was hooked on the first inhale...they played in a total dive/pisssant club..no one was really even listening excepet for about 20 of us. I'm 45 now, and consider myself blessed to see REM, the last show of Kansas, Stevie Ray Vaughn and the Mills Brothers before they started to die off. This album made the hair on the back of my neck stand up---it was SO original and still is.

I was at this show. As i recall the Killkenny cats (or some other Athens band) were playing Maxwell's in Hoboken that same night, where we all went after this show was over. WOW, where in the wide world did you find this/
You don't happen to have the audio 20th century boys Vols. I & II do you? Recorded live at Stitchcraft and nothing but drunken covers of "I got you babe" & "Sweet Jane" it was a hell of a night, what I can recall, that is.
Thanks again, muchly!!!
