Wow. Just saw REM at Hyde Park, postponed from last Sat 'cause of the bombings..

they were by turns majecstic, exhilerating and moving. And when Stipe sang "this one goes out to the one i love" the song felt different, somehow generalized so that you just couldn't help but think of the victims and the ones they've left behind. and most of all it made you appreciate that REM possess a quality that very very few rock/pop groups do - gravitas. respect.

the main reason i'm never visiting an REM gig again is not because of REM, but of the crowd. While me and this friend of mine were going all nuts about the (then) new songs, and all the old stuff they played, al of the other 5000 people were rather bored during those parts of the set. But when the first tones of everybody hurts were played, all the lighters came out and the sing-a-long crap began.

Nothing/everything · 07-19-2005, 03:09 AM

oh, and here's the set of the particular gig i was talking about:

1. Finest Worksong
2. These Days
3. Animal
4. What's the Frequency, Kenneth?
5. Fall on Me
6. Bad Day
7. Daysleeper
8. Imitation of Life
9. I've Been High
10. The Great Beyond
11. Exhuming McCarthy
12. So. Central Rain
13. Country Feedback
14. So Fast So Numb
15. Losing My Religion
16. She Just Wants to Be
17. I Believe
18. Walk Unafraid
19. Man on the Moon
Encore
20. Everybody Hurts
21. Favourite Writer
22. Cuyahoga
23. ITEOFWAWK

Seriously, there's much more on that list to go nuts about than man on the moon and ITEOFWAWK
