| J-Card Comment | R.E.M. 4th November 1987 Circle Pavilion, University of Illinois, Chicago, IL Converted from audio tape to wav by Mitch. Probably 2nd gen tape or higher, there’s bit of hiss, but otherwise great sounding. Additional track markers added in Audition 1.5 by myself. Disc 1 01. Finest Worksong 02. These Days 03. Harborcoat 04. Disturbance At The Heron House 05. Fall On Me 06. Exhuming McCarthy 07. Orange Crush 08. Feeling Gravitys Pull 09. King Of Birds 10. White Tornado 11. Cuyahoga 12. Tired Of Singing Trouble 13. I Believe 14. Maps And Legends 15. Superman 16. Caroline, lake, well digging story 17. Auctioneer (Another Engine) Disc 2 01. Oddfellows Local 151 (start cut) 02. It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) 03. Begin The Begin encore 1: 04. Strange 05. Wolves, Lower 06. Driver 8 07. Just A Touch encore 2: 08. The One I Love 09. Pop Song 89 10. See No Evil encore 3: 11. Harpers 12. Crazy 13. After Hours This is the first of the truly excellent recordings from the Work Tour. I understand that the Circle Pavilion, is like many of the other venues on this tour, a basketball arena with much-maligned acoustics. However this recording, I hope you will agree, is pretty darned good. This show has a cool setlist with Harborcoat, Wolves, Crazy in addition to the usual suspects. Plus this is first appearance in this series of the fledgling Pop Song 89 (which premiered live in Indiana on 10/27/87). The other main highlight is the 5 min introduction to Auctioneer (which though long is by no means the longest), which I felt deserved it’s own track marker. There is another recording of this show which was taped by somebody called “David” (not Dave Thomas), and it is also pretty wonderful, but sadly there is 45mins missing from the middle of the copy I have. The record presented to you is pretty much complete save for the chunk missing from start of Oddfellows. Tomorrow I’ll be upping a diamond find, a first gen recording of 11/5/87 at the same venue, it’s a beautiful recording and worth waiting for. |
