THE CLASSIC 1989 BROADCAST
REM’s massive 1989 world tour in support of their Green album - released at the end of ’88 - took up virtually the entire year. Beginning in Japan in late January and concluding back in the band’s hometown of Athens, Georgia eleven months later, it was this tour which allowed REM to explode onto the mainstream, while still retaining their ‘indie’ credentials. Playing throughout as a five piece for the first time - Peter Holsapple from the dB’s was in tow on keyboards - this lengthy tour established the group as first division players – a position they have retained ever since. This CD features the full show played at the Orlando Arena in Florida on 30th April 1989, also the subject of a live FM broadcast.
