REM - Imitation of Life (Live from Koengen, Bergen Sept. 4th 08)

REM - Imitation of Life live from Koengen in Bergen, Norway on September 4th 2008.

This video was shot on the first cool, crisp fall evening in Bergen. After The Disciplines and Editors had warmed up the crowed for an hour, R.E.M took the stage at 9.15 PM local time and gave the crowd an amazing show.

The band played a perfect mix of their greatest hits, some new gems and a couple of rather unknown oldies. Something for everyone in the crowd.

The picture quality is far from great, but the sound is pretty good. Hope you enjoy.

Feel free to comment and share your thoughts.

Some great quotes from the concert:

After having joined the crowed in the front row for "The One I Love" Michael returns to stage and jokingly reprimands the people in front of the stage.
" You don't tickle the lead singer when he's trying to reach those high notes that he can't actually reach anymore"

In a break between songs, Michael takes a moment to acknowledge a special person in the crowd.
"On our way here to the concert, we stopped at a local convenience store to buy porn. Oh, and some cheese, salami and some DVD's. Which had nothing to do with the porn".
Michael then went on to dedicate the following song to the girl that had been behind the counter at the store.
