For all you R.E.M.-fans out there: this is a unique live-recording of a song never published on album, but privately recorded by LA BLOGOTHEQUE / R.E.M., whilst actually playing it inside the carcass of an old submarine... Michael is doing the drum-bit himself, decommissioning his percussionist... :-)
From R.E.M.'s private collection, filmed by "La Blogotheque". If you like it: I have some more of these private recordings...
The song was filmed with only one camera and the sound was recorded with only one mike. I have done quite some shows this way myself, and the result always amazed me: images and sound become totally natural, stripped from all fancy "soundmix effects", as if you were sitting in that location yourself with a couple of friends, drinking your beer or wine and listening to music in its purest form... Enjoy ! :-)
@remnrone Thanks for the information, I must have overseen it... Thanks ! :-)))
