Please don't move us to Out Of Control again.
One nice thing about R.E.M. is that their releases were very consistent from 1983 to 1996 (or even later). So, I don't really care which album is "the best", I just enjoy the catalogue.
What's wrong with them is that they're being posted.
Ok, see if you can find out what's wrong with your boxscores.

Is that better for you?
Not even close. They didn't play the Garden in 2011. And if MSG were sold out, the attendance wouldn't be 13,000 plus. It would be closer to 20,000 in attendance.
Plus, obviously, the dates are wrong anyway.

You didn't get that impression when the idiotic thread with moggio was closed? No one gives a fuck.
Also it should be noted that REM played a show at the 15,000 capacity Jones Beach Amphitheater (or whatever corporate name it has now) in the NYC area in June of 2008, which was supposedly nearly full. Sadly, they just weren't a big concert draw. Which is strange, because they were so popular in the late 80s and throughout the 90s. In 2003 I saw them at a 20,000 seat amphitheater outside of Cleveland, and it was probably half full.

Uhh, this is the band that played Ignoreland every night on their last tour, one of the worst songs I've ever heard from a good band.

It's a shame, because they really were an awesome live band. They rotated their setlists so that each concert was different, and they really would play just about anything from their back catalog. Of course they have their own set of "warhorses", but The R.E.M. Timeline will show you that they truly put thought into their setlists and live shows. I'm so sad I'll never see them again
. I also saw them at MSG in 2003. Great show and they sold the place out.
