Accelerate - REM album - March 31 2008

[U2inUtah]

I'm up and listening

REM

 

[U2inUtah]

living wells the best revenge
man sized wreath
second guessing
drive

so far...

 

[U2inUtah]

hollow man

 

[U2inUtah]

Animal

 

[U2inUtah]

Auctioneer (another engine)

 

[U2inUtah]

Mr. Richards

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

U2inUtah

This is fun. Stipe sounds great. Those first three songs were a blast. I've never heard a live version of Second Guessing and it kicks.

 

[corianderstem]

Auctioneer?

How random.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the aiiiiiiiiiiir !!!!!!!

 

[U2inUtah]

cori

Fall On Me

I hadn't heard Second Guessing until the Dublin shows,
or Auctioneer for that matter.

They really broke out a lot of the old songs last summer.

I hope they keep them around for this tour.

 

[corianderstem]

I'd be perfectly happy if they left Auctioneer off the setlist if I get to see them.

 

[U2inUtah]

The Great Beyond..

Houston sounds great

 

[U2inUtah]

I'd be perfectly happy if they left Auctioneer off the setlist if I get to see them.

Ha.. yeah Auctioneer is probably in my bottom 20 REM songs, which would put it down around 166 on the list, but I still like it.


I think its one of those songs I started to get after about 50 listens, but not before

 

[U2inUtah]

Electrolite

20th Century

 

[U2inUtah]

Accelerate

Where is the cartoon escape hatch I see?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Stipe name-drops Obama and Heath Ledger in the space of 15 seconds

 

[U2inUtah]

until the day is done
final straw
bad day

3 'political songs' according to M Stipe

 

[U2inUtah]

horse to water

 

[U2inUtah]

walk unafraid

encore- boring npr people saying crowd isn't into the show

supernatural superserious
imitation of life

 

[U2inUtah]

im gonna dj

im gonna be tired tomorrow

man on the moon

five hours till work...shit

 

[Anu]

Good for you for staying up!!! I had to close my eyes and couldn't make it. I'll try for the LA station today if it streams.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm kind of over them closing with Man On the Moon (mostly thanks to Stipe's annoying shouting on COO-WOLLLLLLLL!), like I'm over them closing with End of the World. Get a new closer, you deadbeats!



I don't know that I want to trek to Vancouver to see them, and I'm DEFINITELY not doing Sasquatch. I was considering it if they were playing on the same night as the Flaming Lips, but no. So no.

I might go ahead and try for a Vancouver ticket, but it's an outdoor venue. Maybe I'll just hope that after Europe, they swing back through the States and come around again. INSIDE, thank you very much.

<---old and cranky

I'm pretty sure you can get wheelchair access at those outdoor shows, granny.

That's not me - I don't have a laptop.

 

[Anu]

Listening to the Indie 103 thing now. Wow.

Great so far.

 

[Anu]

The Edge is the reason REM chose jacknife lee to produce according to Stipe.

Discussion of politics, Coldplay, U2. Great interview and lots of the album being played live.

Sorry, ma'am, I forgot you're OLD school.

Respect your elders, dammit!
