There is a better version of REM covering this song, and without a interview interruption, that was recorded in Houston, Texas

[heidigretel]

yes. but that version is only audio. unfortunately no video :)))

[Roz Greening]

sublime,...please release this as a full version

[heidigretel]

i upload full version of Wichita Lineman perform by REM in Australia 1995 :)

[EMILIO MARENGO]

love this version...now if I only had my 58 Olds like back when...to drive across the state line to Andover, Ohio and get in trouble...summer of '68, sit ins, joints, and a girl named Wanda passed out on the front seat...and it all made sense

[rdangelo]

because i love this song, and i thought it might be good, but they dumbed it down out of all its original harmonic sophistication. they dont understand the chord structure.

[goldspeed007]

awesome version

Probably the most amazing cover of this most amazing song can be found if you do a YouTube search for:

Phoaming Edison perform Wichita Lineman

We can work together and be adults about this.

Well done Micheal and REM 

[MinasPraSempre]

Coolest story ever!

[HagerTX]

I think I was at that show in Houston. :)

[Winterstick549]

Yes, thats what we want to hear! Interrupt a great song with an interview!

[Greg Monteiro]

Really dumb it down. These guys are excellent musicians fully capable of

doing an insulting attempt to completely duplicate or cover this great tune

note for note. Instead they preferred to capture the escence of the song and perform it in their style of music and actually pay tribute to it rather then just cover it and try to replicate this great song.
