I got to see the last "road show" of the Work tour at Auburn AL on Nov 23, 1987. Scored a friend's backstage pass. A friend of Mike Mills and I got backstage and talked with him so long the other guys were pissed-that was the last show before they went home to Athens for shows in Atlanta and the end of tour show at "home". Thanks for posting the clip.
One of my favorite songs!
In the Top ten of all-time best American rock bands
Stipe with the guitar. Awesome!
@Hank Horton um I think you can see Stipe is playing guitar too
Such an awesome song!
Love Michael Stipe!
I saw the Green tour, and this one, and I think they were the best tours they did.
Great long version of this song! I love the guitars on it.
I wanna lighten myself too, when he yells as firehouse. Firehouse!
Saw the tour on Thanksgiving day 87 at the Fox.
I think they played three nights around Thanksgiving. Saw them on one of those nights. Work tour is my favorite R.E.M. tour, epic.
I've never seen them perform this song live until now. Just incredible... When was the show from?
