This is when they ... ( 4 months ago by SconeMason)
This is when they were the Beatles of college radio. I was at their first in-store appearance in Carbondale, Illinois in 1982. I had just bought the record (Chronic Town) because the ad for it in Trouser Press had that gargoyle that I thought was so cool. My band at the time learned Gardening at Night and Boxcars, which we were playing when I met them in Plaza Racords.

I remember my brother and I saw this show on TV. I thought they were cool and was glad they played real instruments like The Beatles and The Byrds played. Next day I went out and bought "Reckoning".

Is that the Rick guitar that was stolen just a few days ago? According to Buck, it was his fave guitar and used it since the early days. Sad loss :(

I was not a Letterman watcher, but wandered in late one night and saw this live. From that point on I was an REM fan. Oct 83, I was a sophomore in high school, and I was hooked. It is great to see this again as, oddly, I have never seen a replay and probably haven't seen Letterman 10 times in the 25 years since.

They are still around? Or thanks R.E.M. for making alternative rock popular? Or both?

Wow. Never new about this. Thanks for putting it up. I got to see their first live performance of this song in Oklahoma city back in 1986. So I thought. At least that was what Michael said before they played it. He stood way in the back with his back towards the audience. Man I miss the IRS days! Hung out with them right off stage with under 50 other fans.
