| J-Card Comment | R.E.M. November 9, 1985 Beacon Theatre, New York, NY CMJ Music Awards Taper: Unknown Source: Unknown. I am not sure if I received this show on Audio Tape or Disc. Either way its not MP3 sourced. acoustic set: The Wayward Wind Driver 8 Dream (All I Have To Do Is) Angel Swan Swan H Time After Time (Annelise) (Don't Go Back To) Rockville Tired Of Singing Trouble electric set: Feeling Gravitys Pull Second Guessing Can't Get There From Here Moon River (Stipe a capella) I think this is one of the more interesting shows from 1985. It features REM in I believe one of their first ever acoustic performances. The quality is average for a 20 year old show. But in my opinion very listenable. I think it’s the only time that REM performed Time After Time with an acoustic guitar like this. They also threw in some nice covers including Wayward Wind, Dream (All I Have To Do Is), and Moon River to close out the set. I still consider it one of the must have shows from this era because its really unlike the Construction Tour whatsoever. (From remtimeline.com notes: (Don't Go Back To) Rockville features Peter Holsapple on guitar and Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles on backing vocals. This show was made infamous due to Peter Buck throwing his guitar at one of the television crew members and storming off the stage after Can't Get There From Here.) |
