This was about ten years after Bill Berry left R.E.M., following his cerebral aneurysm onstage in Switzerland. Recently, when the band (including Bill) gave an interview around their induction into the Songwriter's Hall Of Fame, Bill tearfully said that despite the necessity of his leaving because of his health, he regretted leaving the band anyway. Watching him here, somehow his delight in providing the foundation for R.E.M. comes right through. I'm glad he survived, but it's too bad that he had to do it, for his own sake and ours.

I cried the night I watched this in a good way. I couldn't believe that such a huge band would play such an obscure track from an ep. I love them so much..

One of the single greatest debuts from any rock band ever. The sheer intensity behind Stipe's vocal--and he's nowhere near having to screech them to get his words across--backed of course by, still, one of the genre's most interesting, unique instrumentals. The Athens scene really was something brilliant.

@@dougleclaire9424 I like all of those bands but I feel like REM were more well-rounded. They kind of had it all,musicianship,poetry, sensitivity,accessibility while also remaining a “college” band….they are actually not even my favorite band but for me they are one of the best ever….I would put The Who at the top of the heap but REM are up there!
