J-Card Comment R.E.M. Fox Theater Atlanta GA November 25, 1987 Taper & gear: RS - gear TBC Conversion by butterking: First generation cassette > Nakamichi CR-7A cassette transfer (Nov 2007) > wav Additonal prep by clumsiloe: wav > audition 1.5 > wav > flacfrontend 1.7.1 This is the final part of the 20th Anniversary series. It’s great to be able to finish the series with a first gen tape. This one is pretty decent all the way through, the crowd is pretty loud and there a couple of “taper” moments: mics being shuffled around, people bellowing about their seats, the odd cut. But otherwise this is as good as I’ve heard from this four day stretch at Fox. I never mentioned it before, but the only video footage from this tour is an aud shot from 10-27-87 in Indiana, during Oddfellows Local 151 Stipe is holding and possibly playing a guitar (a Gibson Explorer by looks of it). I don't know if this was repeated at other shows, maybe somebody out there remembers? Let us not forget that R.E.M. were musically augmented on this tour by: -Buren Fowler on guitar(s) -David Russell on Congas (King of Birds) -Support was provided by 10,000 Maniacs, The Railway Children and The dBs. Massive thanks to butterking, hatnham, mjk5510, glen, rockrabilia and pariscarters for their help in putting this all together. Respect and thanks to everyone who’s ever taped an R.E.M. show. 01.
