=================================================================

This is the first ever live broadcast of a complete R.E.M. show.

The show begins with a false start of 'West Of The Fields'.

This also has the first known performance of 'Pilgrimage'.

This show can be found on the liberated CD titled "Radio Free Georgia" on Red Robin Records.

Which claims to also be from the WRFG broadcast.

I have the flacs of that cd and in my opinion, the boot plays slower and sounds flatter.

This FM tape plays a little faster and sounds cleaner.

Both Rich and I agree that the pitch on this FM tape is more accurate, versus the boot cd.

The tape flip is between tracks 12 and 13. no music missing.

This might be the best version you've heard so far, but not definitive.

Commenta note from the R.E.M. Timeline:

"The first ever live broadcast of a complete R.E.M. show. After a false start on 'West Of The Fields' after a minute or so, Bill announces that is their longest song. First known performance of 'Pilgrimage'."
