As I slowly come around to posting about the R.E.M. shows (I still have to write about seeing Pearl Jam! AND I go to Lollapalooza this week!), I’ve been equally as slow posting my pictures and videos from the shows. I have a couple awesome pictures from the 6/13 show and a few great videos from Philadelphia.
So far, I’ve uploaded two videos from the Mann Center show. The first is of Eddie Vedder’s cameo during “Begin the Begin.” I apologize for the annoying guy holding the camera who inadertently made it a trio.
And then this morning, I finally uploaded my video of “Staring Down the Barrel of the Middle Distance,” a song that the band debuted during the Dublin “Open Rehearsal” shows last summer but have not released officially. Michael Stipe introduced it by telling the crowd that they were debuting the song “for the first time ever in an actual real setting with real people.” Forgive the tilt halfway through as the people next to me tried to sneak out while I was recording.

Thanks for the “Staring…” video! I really loved this song when I heard them play it in Dublin. They did change it up a bit since then. I wish there was still really such a thing as b-sides; this would be a perfect candidate.
