R.E.M. at their best on Sky Arts 1 HD with a definitive concert in Weisbade, Germany.
Performed in the summer of 2003 at the Bowling Green of Weisbaden, Michael Stipe and fellow band members Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry deliver a 23-song set of well-known favourites, as well as hits from their early days and lesser known titles.

The rock band also treat the Weisbade audience to popular titles like Losing My Religion from their 1991 album Out of Time, along with The One I Love, Orange Crush and Country Feedback. R.E.M. rarities are performed, including Maps and Legends from their early 1985 album Fables of the Reconstruction, and the track The Great Beyond.

Just a quickie to mention that Bill Berry doesn’t perform at this gig. He’d long since retired to farm crops.
It is however a a great sounding and very colourful gig.
Enjoy!

This is Road Movie...not Perfect Square...Daz is right...Bill Berry retired in the mid-late nineties...still a good gig but not the one advertised.
