R.E.M. Live At The Olympia
R.E.M. at the Olympia
In 2007 R.E.M. decamped to Ireland to write and rehearse, culminating in a series of five live gigs in the Olympia in Dublin, which were recorded for release at a later date. That date is October 27th, 2009. The release will consist of a double CD with 39 songs called appropriately enough R.E.M. Live At The Olympia, and a DVD movie called This Is Not A Show, taken from the graphic displayed on stage before their performances as pictured above.
Here’s a clip of R.E.M. playing an old favourite of mine, Drive, taken from the movie, which has its premiere on September 29th at Sound Unseen in Minneapolis.
