Track 14-16 - 1990-06-03 - Big Day Festival, Glasgow, Scotland (Stipe, Natalie Merchant and Billy Bragg)

This is actually not a real R.E.M. show, but a benefit concert with Michael Stipe and Indigo Girls (Amy Ray and Emily Saliers).
Together they play some interesting cover versions along with a few originals.
These include brilliant early versions of R.E.M.'s own "hairshirt" and "11th Untitled Song" which a few month later were to be released on the Green LP.
The song "I'll Give You My Skin" was written by Michael, Amy and Emily especially for this performance.

The 3 last tracks are Michael Stipe together with Natalie Merchant and Billy Bragg at the Big Day Festival in Glasgow; Scotland.
