one youtuber with bad taste rated it down

who is that noob..thx for the upload..

harbour coat is my favorite song.

[kenjames64]

@GirlWithAnObsession My favorite song from Reckoning. It seems almost mystical to me. I've never looked up the lyrics because I don't want to know what they are.

[kenjames64]

It's a Man Ray kind of sky. MURMUR literally changed the way I felt about . . . everything, and I loved you more with every album. Thank you Peter, Mike, Michael and Bill. I wish you all happiness with the next chapter of your remarkable lives.

[MrNotbornyesterday1]

Thanks for posting this. A memory of what for me were between '83 and '92 the greatest band I ever heard.

[kenjames64]

@MrNotbornyesterday1 That's exactly what I think. From CHRONIC TOWN/MURMUR to AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE, they were my band.

[Willburys]

its a Big Culture Juwel REM, timeless

[strummeresque]

Eye have never scene such an enthusiastic rock-n-roll crowd...

[CHILLISeminemREM]

[yesthesky]

I'm a R.E.M fan. I haven't watch this live before. Thanks for sharing.

[Frumples8]

Fun to watch them really hit thier stride on this vid. They have a sound that for me is timeless.

[Muudzis]

Holy crap, Stipe has hairs! How long ago were those days when we all were young. ;)

[yooanoozarrmay]

If you're English (like me) but think that R E M are the bollocks stick your thumbs up. Best band ever, thanks boys xxxx

[kenjames64]

@andrewmanford I so agree. To me, R.E.M. ceased to exist with New Adventures in Hi-Fi.

[DavidLovins67]

I love watching R.E.M. slowly winning over the crowd. The first sight of the crowd shows them with blank 'wtf' looks on their faces, lol.
