An REM thread for r.e.m. stuff

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

I've just finished my R.E.M. version of The Never Heard Symphonies anthology.

I will begin uploading it shortly. It's called Trolling For Olives.

It's great.

I look forward to it, its one of the things that redeems you in my eyes not that you care of course

 

[Lord Knows]

Sounds great - looking forward to it. Cheers

I just listened to the 1991 unplugged, & it sounds just a little bit slow to me. Did anyone else encounter this?

Did you all see the two sets of B sides released on iTunes and Amazon!?

those links dont seem to work unless you pay for the service.after an hour passes, the download always stops while im barely at 114MB

 

[fanofrem]

Thank you for the download links BPodde.
Donut: Both links are working fine for me. Just testing the download links. Have all the tracks so I don't need to buy it or download it.
Sad there was no new tracks to add to my collection.

Does anybody have a taped copy of the aired version of the 2001 MTV Unplugged set to confirm if they did air a performance of The Great Beyond?

If so, is there any reason why it would not have been included on the official release? (i.e. bad or incomplete performance, etc.?)

The Great Beyond wasn't aired, the original broadcast only included the first 10 tracks found on the new release (from "Reno" to "Find The River")

[megatroptimus]

So which songs have been left of the official Unplugged release? For songs that got played twice, do we know if they've used version 1 or 2?

 

[gargumma]

From what I've skimmed through when I was comparing both (not very thoroughly, I must add!), they used all the second versions, left out the La Bamba snippet (2-01), the band intros (2-10) and The Great Beyond for whatever reason (2-09). That means track order was shuffled, because they incorporated the replayed versions in various places the middle of the setlist.

Most importantly, the bootleg of Unplugged II that we can find all over seems to be taken directly from the soundboard, but the mixing of this final album sounds much, much better. So I got rid of the bootleg.

 

[gargumma]

On other news, guys, about that recent compilation of "rarities" (specifically, the 131 songs from Warner material), it seems to have been carelessly put together with very little attention. There are many known issues with the songs. Please check for details on the "talk section" of the Wikipedia page.
