R.E.M. - Songs for a Green World, The Classic 1989 Broadcast (Brand New LP Sealed)
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing of this rare live release. This set features the full show played at the Orlando Arena in Florida on 30th April 1989, also the subject of a live FM broadcast. The dynamic set played by the group that night featured six of the songs from Green, plus a heady mix of oldies from their previous five records, albeit with emphasis on 87's Document and the previous year's Life's Rich Pageant. Completing the set with a couple of covers from fellow Athens collective Pylon, whose 'Crazy' had already been featured as b-side to REM's 'Driver 8' single in '85, plus 'Academy Flight Song' a live favorite for the band taken from the back catalog of Boston's Mission Of Burma. All told, this legendary broadcast finds REM at the point in their career when huge worldwide success was beckoning, but when the group always firmly grounded had full control of exactly where they were and where they were going.
