@tvpow Yep-Subways and Leons actually! Good memory.

Was Friday's located in the current location of the Subway on Tate St.?
If so it adds significant import to all the times I ate there as an undergrad.

Yes, I saw them many times at Friday's also. I think as far back as 1980 with Mitch Easter doing the sound. Got to meet them backstage, Pete Buck even let me play his guitar. The owner, who was a nutty New Yorker would keep telling me "These guys are going to be huge, HUGE!" Of course we was right. Saw a lot of great shows at Fridays including an amazing Mission of Burma show.

I am pleased to say I saw REM at Fridays
on Tate Street Greensboro several times
There were many great bands there at this time
I considered them the best live act.

Rem playing "normal rock", I can't control myself is better with The Troggs. Noone does it better than The Troggs.
The Troggs made a record in 1992 together with REM, called Athens Andover.
-
"That Beat" is one of my favorite unreleased songs!
