I think it's been a while since all four of them played live together on stage as R.E.M.

I saw them on the Monster tour. To be honest, one of the most boring concerts I’ve been to. Stipe stood a music stand for 90% of the show.

For a band that’s released so much material, you could cram the decent stuff into 3 or 4 LPS’s. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by the live show I saw.

Interesting. I saw them in 2003 in Marlay Park and they were v mediocre, but I heard that the other concert they played there was a lot better. I think they are possibly one of those bands that is hit and miss live.

I don’t remember who opened, but I don’t think it was either of those 2.

Saw REM on Monster tour at Milton Keynes bowl - was boss.

Support was Radiohead, The Cranberries and Sleeper - all were really good.

Fortunately it seems they have too much integrity for that sort of shite.

Richly deserved recognition there. fantastic Band....and i have to say, the music world is that bit worse with their absence.

My fave 3 REM albums (currently) are:

Green
New Adventures in Hifi
Monster
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You
You were acting like it was the end of the world

An award and an acceptance speech U2 members can only dream of… in a little over a minute, Michael Stipe perfectly described what REM are and what U2 once were.
A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

Wow, they look really old. I wouldn't recognize any of them if i didn't know it was REM.
