Even the arrangement of the song is worse â the omission of the initial âOooooooh....âs; the backing vocal lines coming right on top of each other in the chorus, with no breathing room...

Er I like this more than the studio version. But I would, considering how much I prefer U2 and the Church and similar groups to REM. Super curious to hear any other tracks Hague did for them.

I don't really mind it either. Though "less unique" is OTM.

Dunno if this has ever been posted on ILX but man, check this out. I had no idea there was evera recording of it made. Kind of a fabled gig in Rem history.

Seem to remember a thread on here somewhere about bands who peaked on the first track on their first album - Radio Free Europe is a good candidate for this
― Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 11 August 2021 23:53 (two years ago) link
I mean, they topped it with âPilgrimageâ

My dad maintains that they peaked even earlier, on "Carnival of Sorts."

Going back to Oct 1982 this is a great show with surprisingly ok audio and video. A mix of Chronic Town and Murmur. Stipe pretty loose, having fun.

Watching that reminds me how spot-on Fred Armisen is, talking about Bill's drumming style (starts at 1'40")

Michael Shannon seems to always be doing these kinds of tributes. He did one for The Blue Mask, I believe.

Or at least participated in it.
They were a really fun live band up until around the time Green came out.
