This superb live broadcast from renowned East Coast club, The Paradise in Boston, in July 1983, captures the original 4-piece R.E.M. at a creative peak. R.E.M. had a traditional rock quartet format, incorporating Michael Stipe’s engaging but often indecipherable vocals, Mike Mills’ superb backing vocals and highly melodic bass playing, Peter Buck’s cascading 6 and 12-string arpeggios and Bill Berry’s rock solid backbeat. What set them apart from their peers during this formative period was how they managed to infuse their fresh and idiosyncratic post-punk sound with a rich vein of melody and classic pop-oriented song writing - subtly yet undoubtedly indebted to the 1960s without becoming slavish copyists. The only overt reference to that earlier decade during this show is a rare but lovingly crafted cover of The Mamas and the Papas irresistible sunshine-pop masterpiece, California Dreamin’.
