  My favourite REM song and my favourite live performance of it. Michael Stipe dancing on stage? YES.

  Excellent music, audience behaving civilly, band members dressed normally, without ridiculous choreography, simply playing the music... rare things to see at shows these days.

  There is a child inside every man. I am in my 60s but I still make my wife laugh by my childish/daft behaviour or something I have said. My wife is worth more than a Kings fortune, and I am grateful for having her in my life..

  It makes me sad to see tour drummer Bill Rieflin here cos he died in 2020. Before R.E.M., he was in the legendary Industrial Metal band called Ministry. It looks like he put his heart and soul into this performance. R.I.P.
