It was a strange night right from the get-go for reasons I'll let the essential R.E.M. concert database REMTimeline.com explain: "Because of a leaky roof, at some point in the day or two before the gig the event organizers were concerned about water damage to the auditorium floor. For this reason a large, square section of the floor directly in front of the centre of the stage was sectioned off. This meant that the crowd couldn't get very close to the band for most of the show. Luckily near the end Michael took his chances and jumped down (with a long mike cord) and sang the last few songs right up next to the audience on the floor at floor level." JEMS was seated in the bleachers stage right, about halfway back. The strange situation with the floor spurred a chatty night from the stage, including one particularly memorable line about "loud-mouthed Canadians" that I used as the title of this show on the original cassettes. I always considered this the weakest of the three masters I did on the Pageantry touur if only because I was sitting the furthest away, but it sounds pretty good today. Samples provided. We were in the front row at the previous show in Seattle and at a quiet moment during the set I called out for "We Walk" and locked eyes with Stipe who gave me a very amused shake of the head no, and I responded with an exaggerated nod of the head yes. They didn't play it in Seattle but I'll take credit for its appearance in Vancouver. Back in those days, we had a saying that all the best R.E.M. shows have "Seven Chinese Brothers." I'm gonna say it holds true here. Butterking for JEMS |
