It was really amazing. I noticed they had a really slim North American tour (17 dates) compared to the 50+ dates they are playing in Europe and beyond. Anyone know if they have plans for a second, more comprehensive, leg of a North American tour? I saw REM at Mann Center in Philadelphia and am wondering if they are coming back.

The show on 4/13/83 was at the Palestra. This is located at the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY. They opened for the English Beat. The show on 7/11/84 was at Minnett Hall. This is located on the Monroe County Fairgrounds, Rochester, NY. (Technically it is Henrietta, NY) This "venue" was used for this show only-to the best of my knowledge. It is located right next to the Dome Arena-the sight of many concerts in the 1970's and 1980's. I attended both show. A couple of corrections for you.

Been going down REM memory lane... One thing to check... You have a show 1982-04-14 listed as Hartford, CT... That should be New Haven, CT -- that's where's Toad's Place is. Not sure if you have other Toad's shows in here, those should be updated too... Thanks and keep up the great work! You reminded me of something I'd forgotten, they played the cheesy "Midnight Blue" at a show I saw in Philadelphia in '87 at the Spectrum...

The actual location was Michigan Theatre in Ann Arbor. I know this because I was there and have seen this mistake many times over the years. Thanks.

I LOVED this album. It is absolutely my favorite of the "trio" albums. I listen to it constantly. If anything, Reveal is my second least favorite, followed by Monster. Up is lyrically great, though it's more like Stipe and a generic backing track. Around the Sun to me actually sounded more cohesive and thematic..... The fact that they made it as a such a low point is shocking to me....Anyone else out there a fan of ARound the Sun????? Leaving New York is the perfect Stipe song combining personal perspectives wrapped around a 9/11 allusion that is emotionally rich.... I was so upset at the band's comments on this album that I wanted to find a way for the first time to contact one of them to PLEAD with them not to disparage it any further!
