Add Date: November 17
Artist: R.E.M.
Album: Live at The Olympia
Label: Warner Bros.
Genre: Rock
Comments: A band that needs little introduction. No matter your indie rock politics, R.E.M. played a crucial role in the history of our beleved genre and continue to churn out articulate rock songs even after 26 years. Live at The Olympia is a catalogue of five nights of "working rehersals" in Dublin from the summer of 2007 where the band debuted a lot of new material before a hefty crowd. R.E.M. sound more ferocious on these songs -- all 39 of them -- than they have on some of their recent studio recordings, so it's hard to pick a few favorites. To narrow it down, "Living Well is the Best Revenge" and "So. Central Rain" from the first disc, "Auctioneer" and "Carnival of Sorts" from the second. A great live companion to some of their more recent early studio reissues. And the liner notes aren't a bad little read for those looking for something to pore over in the studio.
