This is R.E.M. performing "Life and how to live it" during their 2008 tour supporting their new album, "Accelerate," on May 31, 2008. This song originally appeared on their album, "Fables of the Reconstruction."
From he look and sound of a lot of the recent concert videos, R.E.M. is playing with renewed focus and energy. A great new album. A better stand in drummer. Back to harmonies and the mid 80's sound. Love it!
To echo the previous two comments... I agree all around. Last time I saw REM play live was the Monster Tour in 95, and before that was in 89 for the Green Tour. Both great tours, but it seems like they play with a certain aggressiveness and spirit.... and even showmanship that might have been lacking previously in 95. Man.. I want to see them again.
