R.E.M. Live

Morning kitchen listening… R.E.M. live and unplugged.

Unplugged: The Complete 1991 and 2001 Sessions a two CD set released in 2014.

Playing this reminded me of seeing them open for the English Beat in April 1983 in the Buff State gym. I had only heard one R.E.M. song at that point. Murmur was released that week. Awesome show.

We would see R.E.M again a few years later at Shea's.

I have loved listening to R.E.M. over the years and have most if not all of their albums. I especially like their live albums too.

So I have 14 studio albums, 6 compilations including best of and rarities collections and then 6 live album collections.

Here are the live albums in my collection:
R.E.M Live, Dublin 2005, 2007
Live in Toronto 1983, 2008
Live at the Aragon Ballroom 1984, 2009
Live at the Olympia, Dublin 2007, 2009
Live - Greensboro Coliseum 1989, 2012
Unplugged: The Complete 1991 and 2001 Sessions, 2014
