I want to kick off the New Year with this new thread about a great American band - R.E.M., a group with a huge and impressive body of work. Here they are with just one of their biggest hits: R.E.M. - The One I Love Enjoy.

I've recently been listening to their early college rock material from the early 80s up until The One I Love hit pop radio. Here's a video of the first time REM played on David Letterman in Oct. 1983. You'll notice that Michael Stipe has a lot of hair and Letterman used to do pretty in depth and informal intervews of musicians!

Here's an early favorite! Based on it's perfect viewer rating, I'd say this is a classic live performance!
Don't Go Back to Rockville (Live)

Thanks for the videos John I finally got round to watching them. Its a shame the first two videos did'nt have slightly better sound quality although I still enjoyed watching them. The live performance of Don't Go Back To Rockville is brilliant! Really enjoyed it. It seems strange seeing Michael with hair though!

I wish the sound quality was better for the Letterman performances but that was their national tv debut; so it has historical value and I think the interview by Dave was pretty good. I had just found that video for Rockville but I'd already grown a love for the song! The video is probably better than the recorded version!
