I wonder if Michael Stipe realized how nice of a voice he actually had. He can really sing when he applies himself. In fact, if anyone were to ask me what male singers I like, I would definitely include him.
broadcast date was last week of april, was recorded 10-apr-1991 note this youtube version is a re-broadcast that is missing even more songs but is very nice quality - thanx for uploading! here is some more info: Recorded 10-apr-1991 at Chelsea Studios, New York City Original Premiere Date: 24-apr-1991 R.E.M., the band touted by Rolling Stone Magazine as "America's Best Rock and Roll Band," spent several hours in New York's Chelsea Studios on April 10, 1991 to tape a one hour acoustic performance for "MTV Unplugged." Original bands members Michael Stipe (vocals), Peter Buck (guitar/keyboards), Mike Mills (bass) and Bill Berry (drums), along with Peter Holsapple (guitar/accordion), perform a memorable acoustic medley of hits past and present. Song selections include "Fall On Me" (which Stipe tells the studio audience is his personal favorite), "The End Of The World As We Know It," "Losing My Religion" and many more. An excerpt from the MTV Unplugged book... "This may well be my favorite song in the R.E.M. catalogue.' With those words from Michael Stipe, the band offered up a heart-wrenching version of 'Fall on Me' that produced one of Unplugged's most transcendent moments. As he delivered the lines "Buy the sky/and sell the sky/and bleed the sky/and tell the sky/don't fall on me." Stipe's pupils rolled back in his head, as if pleading to the heavens, to reveal only the ghost-pale whites of his eyes.
There was never a world in which this was America's greatest rock band. This is a band that made boomers think they might still be cool. It's good but pump the brakes, tiger.
Tiger run around the tree follow the leader run and turn into butter ...and yes they were the biggest rock band in the world for a couple of years in the late 80,s into the early 90,s I'd probably say from 89 to 92

An audience totally locked into the moment, facing this most balanced, talent and intelligence driven, potent force. I've been with this genre of music for decades. The moments of real magic, stripped of all hype, have always been rare. Just listen to this band and their songs.
Growing up I hated REM. Their songs and videos were so overplayed and so annoying. So affected. So precious. But I do love how pretentious they are and how their fans think they are so intelligent. I love that REM single handedly increased mandolin sales more than any group of all time. That’s awesome. Also, Stand was the theme song of the greatest tv show of all time, Get a life.

I saw them open for the Englush Beat in 1985
What a night that must have been! Incredible combo!
@dave2402 it was an outdoor daytime concert at Boston University. One of the only good reasons to grow up in a college town! Lol:)
@@woodbeewhistleblower halcyon days!
Fall on me.... Que barbaridad de canción ❤
My favourite version. Just love the backing vocals, Michael's voice, everything!
His vocal on this version is absolutely glorious.
Mike really made the band unique
Somewhere I had this on CD, but it's long since broken or lost. Thanks for posting.
Not even piezo pickups could ruin this brilliant set
Made me cry.

Magic, thank you for uploading this! Disturbance at the Heron House wasn't played though, it was Belong and Endgame during the credits.
Yeah I was specifically looking for that cause it's good noise but also a good watch.
Love this been a fan of rem for years ❤️ ❤❤
the black hat though!
Thanks from France !
Saw this on tv...
Thanks for this,
Thank you. Exquisite.
I can't imagine my life without these four people.
Peter Holsapple is like "WTF ABOUT ME HUH?"
@@eboethrasherright! He and Jason from Green Day need to have a beer together

Only Morrissey is worse.
