Begin The Begin - REM (actually almost anything by them...) [/ QUOTE ] Yes. The reason I picked "End of the World" is because it was a single. But when you talk about songs like: Gardening At Night Driver 8 Harborcoat I Believe These Days Superman Wendell Gee Wolves, Lower Live and How to Live It Camera King of Birds Exhuming McCarthy World Leader Pretend Orange Crush I mean Jesus... Best. Band. Ever. |

I saw a live version of King of Birds once that brought me to tears. Un-effing-real. |

[/ QUOTE ] In 1995 I saw them in Miami with Radiohead opening, and they did a version of Country Feedback with Buck going about 11 minutes on a solo at the end as Stipe wailed "Crazy what you could have had, I need this... I need this" and everyone's hairs stood on end. Greatest performance ever. I highly recommend purchasing the DVD concert film Perfect Square. ( Here's a link ). It proves they've still got it. Great set list, terrific coverage. Amazing crowd. Perfect editing. God-like sound. Aside from "A Clockwork Orange," it's the best DVD I own. |

Their concert last year in TO was the best I've ever been to, and it wasn't even close. |
