What a night that was. I've seen REM play in colossal venues but to see a band of that stature play an intimate venue like the Olympia was special. It almost never happens that you see genuine musical legends at such close quarters. And the fact that it was a rehearsal made it even better. For much of the gig Stipe was reading the lyrics from a laptop beside him because they were slowly refining the songs as they went along. it was like being allowed to sneak into the studio while they recorded.

I love the Millsy harmonies/backing vocals in this!!! The beginning sounds like Me In Honey!

The definitive version is better, more agressive.

15 years!? Thats a little harsh...

I was a huge REM fan going back to "Fables" in '84...up until Monster when I liked some, but not all. Since then I've rarely listened or bought CD's. Until Accelerate...I love it, and Man-Sized Wreath is SO good; as well as Supernatural...and Hollow Man. Welcome back REM. They didn't play Michigan this tour so I'm PISSED, but I've seen them here and in Colorado 7 times.

totally agree

uh, what makes one better than the other, it's what moves you the most. i usually say murmur cause i heard it when i was in 8th grade, it's stuck w/ me for many many years. i like all their lp's, other than around the sun, though i love a few songs on that one.

actually, "Until the Day is Done" is Automatic for the People V, and while it's a good song, i wouldn't want all their work to sound like that. i didn't start listening to R.E.M. until Monster came out, and for a long time i couldnt stomach their early stuff, but now i'm of the opinion that Murmur and Reckoning are their best. i wouldnt want them to go back to them, but songs like "Laughing" and "9-9" are what make me love this band the most.
MY FAV SONG from the CD. Best song since Kenneth....

Has a bubblegum quality to it like Wanderlust. This song is excellent and they should put it on the album, give up "On the fly", a dull boring ATS leftover.
