So moving to hear them play it “in the raw”-acoustically, with no amplification. Michael’s voice, unaccompanied, was all the more vulnerable and therefore poignant. I think he too was overcome by emotion as he sang this particular song again as a 64 y o man now-40 years since he first shared it. Bravo!
They sound so good still. And Michael’s voice is still so solid. There’s a vulnerability there that made me very emotional. Why can’t they just be like The Rolling Stones and play till they’re dead?
Yes. Bill was featured in a 2 part interview on CBS Mornings and was part of the. induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and performed with the band at the event. During the interview on CBS, Bill admitted to later having some regrets about leaving the band when he did.
who in the hell is Ameliagerwirtz and why am I seeing her name all over this video? God the internet has become stranger than strange. Let the music be. You don't need self promotion.
@@BobSeger1981 No, it's the opposite. I've binged on so much good music over the last 30 years that stuff like this just sounds mediocre at the very best.
So good to see the band together again, even just for a single event.
A reunion Tour would be so beautiful....
Please come back REM. Music needs you.
They've done enough. Any music now and people would just complain about how it's not as good as it used to be because everyone in the world sucks now.
I respect their decision. Let them be.
@@jltrem Fair enough.
Don’t be sorry they are gone. Smile because it happened.
Such beautiful poetry. After all this time, still tears me up. How lovely.
I am so jealous of the people who were there and thank you so much to the person who recorded and posted this - thank you
This is Epic!..Its too much to ask for them to be together again, they have done for 30 years....but man....this is a gift
I worked at WBR when we released that record, brings a tear to my eyes. thanks for posting.
Possibly my favourite song of all time
Same for me 🙏❤️
Absolutely beautiful. So great seeing them perform together after 13 years. Bravo!!
With Bill it was even since 1996

That's like a miracle happening ❤
My god. I’ve been binging in REM over the weekend, what a blessing to music

33 years *
There is amplification and accompaniment...
Wow! One of the top 5 greatest songs of all time. Arguably, THE greatest!
They still sound great
Ignorant statement
How amazing to have been there - thank you for making and posting this vid. ❤
El Rock nunca muere, siguen siendo los mismos , gracias por todo.
My favorite song since I was 5 years old
So good to hear these guys live again😎❤
Well done gents. Great songs, great careers, great vibes, always touched with grace.
17 years is indeed a long time. I'm sure a tour is just under their skin.
He sounds as good as ever
Just told a friend last week how lonely it was without REM
I’m so glad that I’m not the only one that’s aging gracefully. AMAZING video!!!!!!!
great sound quality thank you
Amazing memories 😊😢 I didn't want this to stop
Consider this...the hint of the century.
Thanks for the video!!
Back in time
Amazing 🤩
I love this song! ❤
This is so amazing to see
That was just a dream...

Beautiful.
💜💜💜💜
Awesome 😎❤️🔥
Clásico temazo 🥰
It really sucks they won't do a short tour, there's a whole generation of people who never got the chance to see them. Or at least an album.
Miracle
Great !
Wow, I guess there was a comet and I missed it.
so...more of this? around the world? please?
No they aren't going to
@@mearndt1 yeah they also said they weren't gonna play at all and here they are
@@ryannichols2046 And this will be the only time they don’t see it happening at all
Is that Bill on the drums?!!!
Yep!

Congas are drums. Gobshite.
@@lucianogoyenechea8704 On the stage.
such good stuff
❤
Get REM at Glastonbury, one last time. Let's start it here
Wow. Never thought id see this.
Cmon guys what do you think??
One more time?!?!?!?!
They've for sure got another album left in them.
OMG that’s fantastic! Shall we connect?
I love how everyone is silent during this performance...no doubt realizing what a special moment they are witnessing. ❤
They're not silent. You can hear them all singing along, because they realize what a special moment they are witnessing.
La storia della Musica
Great to see, hope their appetites were whetted!!
Who else votes for one more record and tour, come on REM
How the hell is this the only video of this on CZcams???
This had to feel like seeing Bigfoot, wish I was there!!
There's really no pro-shot video? Y'all better download this, they are gonna come after it I bet.
They need to come back for a world tour. It’s selfish not to offer this to fans
не стареют душой ветераны. )))
Mike Mills is playing a 12-string acoustic guitar instead of a bass here.
poor michael's voice..
When Aging finally hits you 😢
The Sphere in Vegas is waiting for your Residency!
🍀🎼🎼🎼🪂❤🎼🪂🪶🎼
Of all the songs, this would be the absolute LAST one I'd want to hear. And this is what they play. FML
METALLICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dyers Eve
The Rolling Stones!1!1!
put that into it why bother ....you come for us or the money , if the latter forget it ......i never thought i heard you sing .
Pretty f'ing tight for not playing together for a decade or more now.... I'm sure there's a lot of muscle memory to lean on but still PFT.
who in the hell is Ameliagerwirtz and why am I seeing her name all over this video? God the internet has become stranger than strange. Let the music be. You don't need self promotion.
Le falta fuerza...
The best American band ever and the worst audience ever...
Worst audience, why? I thought they were perfect.... dont we want to hear the band, especially this band and performance? Yes.
A top contender for one of the most boring songs of all time..
You must’ve not heard too many songs
@@BobSeger1981 No, it's the opposite. I've binged on so much good music over the last 30 years that stuff like this just sounds mediocre at the very best.
I wish they performed a better song of theirs...
LOL
well, this is their most trascendent...
Been over 30 years and hundreds of listens. This song still moves me.
