First Post

Hi fellow r.e.m. fans. This blog will have a bunch of cool stuff such as r.e.m. articles and rare r.e.m. shows!

I thought that I might as well go ahead and post a show so here it is:

9-15-84 The Bowery Oklahoma City

I have a large r.e.m. collection and out of all of my 1984 shows this show is...unique. It's in an old place that I think is just an abandoned church called The Bowery. Common opening songs on the 1984 tour included songs like Radio Free Europe, Femme Fatale, and Second Guessing. But this show didn't start with any of those. In fact it started with a song that they played once on the whole tour. That song would be Route 66. In the encore of this show they play a unknown song and it's the only time it's ever been known to be played. It's actually pretty good sound quality considering it was recorded in the middle of a packed crowd in a fairly small place. Anyway, enjoy!
