True lol..the only really good live recording of LMR is from when nobody knew the song yet! Understandable tho it became a singalong like others from the period -most of my fave REM songs I’m still finding the ‘correct’ words to lol
You never realize how much you take a band for granted sometimes. This is beautiful, and I'd selfishly love more. But if this is all they do from here on out, bless these motherfuckers for what they've given us.
hang out around Athens enough and you'll discover "1st reunion in 17 years" may not be so accurate... just got to be at the right place, with the right band playing at the right time... Dang, that was good!
Man, these guys should just do what the original Misfits do (I know- are you comparing REM to the Misfits?- and the misfits are mostly playing for the $)They only play like once or twice a year and it’s all just fun. What is music anyway? Why do we listen? Why do we play? Because it’s beautiful and fun. It’s art. It’s a heartbeat. It’s not money. It’s not business. It’s people enjoying themselves together. Like a family. Look at Johnny Cash. Some of his best performances/recordings came out months before the end. ruclips.net/video/dW62Q0TTgS0/видео.htmlsi=BDZO86--AmVOJ1yX
@@alexcarr2925 It's understandable; I had the same thought; I saw them perform it live in 2008 twice, at SXSW and in (near) Dallas; it doesn't say 'all four members' in the title. ;)
Mad respect to the audience for not turning this into a singalong.

Finally a freakin' video of the FULL performance. Thank you so much for uploading!
They sound as great as ever
I'm not crying, you're crying!
So it's finally happened... 😊
Tears in my eyes, so happy this happened .
Definitely one of the best news of the decade. THANKS R.E.M.!
Beautiful. I had a dream they reunited and did an all acoustic tour. This is freaking close enough😊
I just wish they would have played a few songs like they normally do at hall of fame inductions. Of course we will ALWAYS want more...
Ireland ❤ Brilliant Brilliant rem one of my favourite bands 👏
Very special- thank you for sharing!
With this I can finally pass on to the near wild heaven…
Wow! Gives me chills.

Wow, thanks so much for posting.
One of the best news of the years. Thanks God for Michael Stipe and his R.E.M. together, again.
They won’t ruin the legacy with an acoustic tour and live album. Do it guys
I like when they were interviewed by Anthony Mason but I got really sad when Bill Barry startted crying
Awesome 🎉
Amazing ❤❤❤

Dang, that was good!
I wish Mike was playing bass.... The baseline is so iconic.
I like Stipey's aged voice
They finally closed the chapter.
Holy Smoke!!!
Please come together. Please.
R.E.M.’s last concert was on November 18, 2008 in Mexico City.
they mean all original members. Last time all original members played was back in 2007 when they were inducted into the RR Hall of Fame.
This was their last concert ever.
That was um bill berry. Would be special if they wrote together again.
Wow are these guys taking U2 to me right now?
Wait a f**cking minute!!! Is Bill with them here??
Yes. When REM was still together he did make guest appearances from time to time.
I'd have paid taylor swift ticket prices for this one
This is memorable she's not.
@@jaggass I assume that's the point they were making.
How did one get the privilege to attend such a momentous occasion ?!

idk whats worse me thinking that song is young or that 2007 was 17 damn years ago
Why does this say first performance since 2007? I saw them perform this in June of 2008.
I believe 2007 refers to R.E.M.'s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which was the last time the band had performed as a four piece.
@@aoliveira84 oh as in all 4 of them. Duh what was I thinking.
The 4 original band members all together. This is why it is the first performance, what a night!
@@rocknrollofall yeah that must've been cool

LETS FUCKING GO THATS WTF IM TALKING BOUT I AM ELIJAH HEAR ME WTIH FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can you upload it in HD please? what happened with the quality?
I'll check it out tomorrow.
I just heard the 1995 road movie version. Feels just the same...Now with a flimsy vocal. This song remains out of time really...
I thought that was just a song.
Thank you
