if they played fall on me at every show i'd have to go. if they did a tour of only songs off the first 5 albums and chronic town it'd be so awesome. i can't even believe the crap they're turning out now, it just seems so much at odds with that stuff. oh well.
they should play more of fables. auctioneer is one of the weaker ones. green grow the rushes, wendell gee, feeling gravity's pull, driver 8, can't get there from here, good advices are all among their best songs

I was at the first show in Vancouver. Amazing setlist and great fucking venue. It was pretty small so it was easy to get nice and close to the stage. Crowd was okay, a lot of middle-age drunk chicks were there. I heard a lot of "I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!"'s being shouted. Sorry baby, he likes the cock.

Being an american I was amazed at how lax the weed laws were. People lighting up joints in front of security wasn't a problem. It's too bad the dollar is so shitty right now (it took me $294 American to get $280 Canadian) that coupled with the 12% GST tax made it a very expensive trip.

This is the setlist from the show I just got home from - Red Rocks. Drove 500 miles each way for it, and it was so incredibly worth it. I'll never hear "Feeling Gravity's Pull" the same way again - as I was headed up to the venue, they were soundchecking it - and as I came up over the rocks, it just got louder and clearer. It was mid-set, so it was good and dark, and the venue complimented the eerie, atmospheric sound of that song so, so well.

Such a great, great setlist. A few great songs from each of their albums, really. I would have loved to see a few more to see what other gems they pull out.

Great show - I love the National and enjoy Modest Mouse - so those were just major bonuses, really. Rare that you enjoy both opening acts, yet alone one.

This is a risky move, but it may pay off. Good luck. For extra bargaining, bring glitter and a bowl of sugar. I'm not quite sure of the glitter, but the bowl of sugar, I'm got a good feeling about.

No Leave, but the show was fucking amazing. I mean, The National, Modest Mouse and REM on one bill... you really can't complain about that lineup to begin with. Not a big MM fan at all, but I have to say I enjoyed their set.

I would watch this show a hundred times. Personally, Sweetness Follows was the highlight for me, and it was followed by the acoustic Let Me In, which was great also. I didn't know the name for Shaking Through (I'm terrible with REMs obscure song names)- I had to look at the setlist afterward to remember what it was called.

I also have no voice.

well, yeah, I love Find The River and Persuasion, too, but looking at the differences

Heron House/Shaking Through/West Of The Fields/Star 69/Auctioneer/Sweetness Follows/Occupation

vs

Begin The Begin/Pilgrimage/Animal/Great Beyond/Find The River/Orange Crush/Persuasion


I'll take the St Paul any day...

Actually, looking at the Chicago list right there, I've seen all but Persuasion at some point before, most in the same show in 2003:

Begin The Begin/Finest Worksong/Pilgrimage/Drive/Animal/So Fast, So Numb/Fall On Me/Bad Day/The One I Love/The Great Beyond/(Don't Go Back To) Rockville/Daysleeper/Electrolite/Losing My Religion/Find The River/She Just Wants To Be/Walk Unafraid/Man On The Moon Encore: Everybody Hurts/Nightswimming/Final Straw/Imitation Of Life/It's The End Of The World As We Know It

So that has something to do with it, too, I'd have to admit.

edit: Having Find The River and Nightswimming in the same 2003 show was awesome, btw.

I found this review of their June 1st show on one of the movie review sites I usually check out. He chats a bit about other stuff at the beginning and the end (you can read the entire thing here (http://www.pajiba.com/rem-in-concert.htm)) but I just quoted the R.E.M. part:

I really didn’t know what to expect from an R.E.M. show, and several factors competed to make me optimistic and pessimistic at the same time. I’ve loved R.E.M. for 20 years, yet I haven’t purchased an R.E.M. album since 1998’s Up. Somewhere along the way, when I compared Up to New Adventures in Hi-Fi and Monster, I concluded that R.E.M. had begun repeating the same record. It was a decent record but not on the same planet with their best, and I didn’t really want it anymore after the first time. So in 2008, R.E.M. has twice as many songs on my iPod as any other artist, but not one song released after 1996.

For similar reasons, I wasn’t at all sure how much I would enjoy a live show that might not focus on my R.E.M., from Chronic Town, through Reckoning, Fables of the Reconstruction, and Document, right up through Automatic for the People. During their arena phase from the early 90s to the early aughts, I forewent multiple opportunities to see R.E.M., largely because I detest large concert venues, but also because my most fond concert memory is seeing R.E.M. at a roadhouse outside Memphis in 1988 — we were close enough to see the stitched detail on Michael Stipe’s Western shirt that night — and I didn’t want a different memory of them. Still, I was psyched about seeing them in a relatively small outdoor venue, UC-Berkeley’s Greek Theater, which holds about 8,000 people and is structured as a true amphitheater.

What can I tell you? Twenty-eight years after forming, R.E.M. still fucking rocks. Their live show was nothing like I expected yet everything I wanted. Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, and Peter Buck, along with Scott McCaughey and Bill Rieflin, delivered a tightly wound, two-hour set of 28 (28!) songs, with two breaks that lasted about two minutes each. Imagine the most well-honed, self-assured bar band in history, owning the stage with absolute mastery of craft and a calm confidence earned through 26 years of touring. As we walked back to the car, Mikhail mused absentmindedly, “That was tight,” and we agreed that “tight” was the best descriptor.

Lean and spare in production, muscular like Bruce Lee in delivery, R.E.M. jammed through bullet-train pieces like “Begin the Begin” (my favorite all-time R.E.M. song) and lulled with throbbing low-tempo numbers like “Drive.” The set mixed old, middle and new, including seven numbers from the new album Accelerate. If early era is more your cup of tea, they banged home “So. Central Rain,” “Auctioneer,” and “Fall on Me” with passion and authority, along with fan request “Carnival (of Sorts),” which they claimed they hadn’t even practiced in ten years. If you’re of Document/Green/Out of Time vintage, they honored their breakthrough era with the songs casual fans probably associate most closely with them: “The One I Love,” “Orange Crush,” “Man on the Moon,” and, of course, “Losing My Religion.” If they neglected an era, it would have to be the post-Monster period, a time when they probably garnered few additional fans.

An odd but very enjoyable atmosphere permeated the crowd during the entire set — through the entire show, 8,000 people stood and swayed to the music, refusing to sit down even during the rare yawner like “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?” It was about the most intense concert crowd I have seen, hanging on every note and every word of Michael Stipe’s intermittent monologue. There was no thrashing, no wild dancing, and while it’s easy to dismiss that as a result of a crowd with an average age of (ahem) 40, don’t make me tell you about the Fleetwood Mac concert last year where there was a lot of unfortunate gyrating. Stipe, in an ultraslim hipster business suit, boldly striped dress shirt, and boost-heeled chelsea boots, was a coiled spring of slowburn wild magic. I can’t say he’s aged a day in the last fifteen years, and his thirty-year lullaby to the stars continues to shake me like a lonely coyote call in the desert.

R.E.M. enjoys a deep, deep love affair with its fans, an adoration borne of endless nights of friends and lovers discussing the profundities of the universe in low voices while “Radio Free Europe” windles away somewhere in another room. These people were fixated on Stipe, Mills, and Buck, fixated on the folky/punky/rockabilly anthems that saw them through high school or college or love or heartbreak or rehab. Down in “the Pit,” as the general admission area is called, there were billowing clouds of pot smoke and … upturned, open-mouthed stares of adulation.

One beautiful discovery: They’re still growing as a band, even as they return to their roots. Mike Mills once described R.E.M. as “neo-folk punk,” as good a description as any, referring to the 70s punk scene that inspired Michael Stipe and Peter Buck to found a band that would be unlike anything before it. Long known for fusing punk thrash with folky guitar and country rhythms (see, e.g., “Driver 8”), R.E.M. delivered a straight punk version of a new song Sunday night, a track from the new album called “Horse to Water.” As it melted our faces, we said, “Awesome.”

A couple of additional fun facts:

- You just haven’t lived until you’ve seen Michael Stipe do the waving thing. During stretches of songs, he kind of loses himself, closes his eyes, slowly but exaggeratedly nods his head, and does a tambourine motion with his empty hand next to his head while arching his back and legs. Suck it, Bono!

- Mike Mills, with his stringy, shoulder-length blond hair and thick-rimmed glasses, looks like Garth from “Wayne’s World.”

- Peter Buck sprang from the womb in an absolute cannabis-induced haze.

- R.E.M. continues to push the envelope in integrating video into their performances. The current tour features a multi-screen display behind the band, intermingling live footage with that of prior concerts in cool colors and film grains.

How's the REM bootleg community? Aud/Vid would be awesome when it comes to these shows.

This was one of the most fun shows I have seen in a while. It was decent out all day and than right before the National came on it got really cloudy. Just as Modest Mouse were hitting the stage it started to rain. It increased more and more during their set as did the thunder and lightening. About 3/4 of the way into MM's set lightening struck the roof of the spotlight housing and they cut MM off mid song and made everyone exit the amphitheatre. We waited in the tunnels and under the covered walkways for an hour before they announced REM would come on shortly after ten. They came on at about 10:15 and began with "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" and than went right into "So Central Rain" Michael said they were gonna play "I'll Take the Rain" but that it was to long and slow for a night like this and no one wants to hear it. The band seemed a little worried playing. Crew had to mop the stage between songs and Michael kept saying that he thought he was going to fall on his ass. They opted not to go backstage for an encore just announcing "hey this is the encore." After “Losing my Religion" the band whispered to each other for a minute and Michael said "I swore I would never do this again, this is completely unrehearsed" and they broke into "End of the World." They cut the last chorus out because Michael messed up. All in all we got a shorter set than most this tour but it was definitely a unique show.

Oh, I guess he did come out during the encore. The entire show went by so fast. They actually teased playing "Better Man" halfway through the show, which almost made me want to throw up a little. Of all the songs to tease about possibly playing, it had to be that one. It was cool when he came out though and got me excited to see Pearl Jam on Friday. Here's to hoping I don't spend two hours in traffic going to Camden.

Yeah, you should. I think this was the best of the five times I have seen them in terms of setlists. The cherry on top was telling my brother about Vedder showing up after he poked fun at me for getting tickets to this and not Pearl Jam and now I'm seeing both. HA.

True, but I haven't heard that nearly as many times as Better Man. I didn't need to see another band play it with Vedder.

On another note, I FINALLY came across a recording of the St. Paul 2004 Vote For Change show. Springsteen's set had been available forever, but REMs set only surfaced a month ago or so.

The highlight- Country Feedback with Neil Young. Right before, Stipe gave the most non-chalant introduction for a legend I'd ever heard. Without any build up whatsoever, he just said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Neil Young." The place went fucking nuts.

seeing REM, Vedder and Johnny Marr in one show is pretty great.
