Several years ago, 11 years actually, I attended by accident a Nigel Kennedy concert in Belgrade. The performance fascinated me, they played Night in Tunisia I remember. After I returned from that trip I bought a Nigel Kennedy CD although I wasn't as impressed with the recording as much as with the live show I saw.

I like Hollow Man, forgot to put it in my list. I think a lot of R.E.M. songs define me as a person and I relate to them, not because of the lyrics exactly but because of the emotion Stipe puts into the performance, Hollow Man is just one of those songs.

By the way it has become almost impossible to find a mint copy of the Hollow Man single. Unfortunately when I wanted to order they had ran out of stock on amazon.

R.E.M. / Up
Uncle Tupelo / March 1992
-
They're not Tupelo songs exactly but I'd like them to play some of the tracks off March 1992: coalminers, Satan and moonshiner.

It's subjective; but that is the worst album cover I have ever seen.
could be.

Thanks again, to you and all the team.

I want to thank the moderators, administrator kidsmoke, for the technical support I received when I had difficulty logging-in at the beginning of the year, but most importantly because they have made me feel I'm welcomed here and they also expressed empathy towards a difficult, personal situation that I experienced back in March and that I communicated in a thread. They have shown me that my contributions to the site are valued and they are one of the strongest reasons why I continue posting here.

This sounds really good... would love to hear more about it.
Glenn's website doesn't say anything about it, but it also has a Palo Alto show date in January (although it's not specific about whether it's this work or not).
Oddly spread out dates. Hoping for something a little closer. Minneapolis in February does not sound like a fun trip.
There's a small footnote on Mr. Luther Adams' site:
"Currently JLA is working on Become Ocean for the Seattle Symphony, Become River for the St. Paul Chmaber Orchestra, and Ilimaq ("Spirit Journeys") for drummer Glenn Kotche."

High Heat, you're welcome.
The earliest performance I found is apparently November, this Texas venue speaks of a world premiere:
I L I M A Q
World Premiere by John Luther Adams
Glenn Kotche, percussion
Featuring On Fillmore with Darin Gray, bass
Made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the Dean of the College of Fine Arts and the Executive Vice President and Provost of The University of Texas at Austin
Presented in partnership with the Butler School of Music and Fusebox Festival
With commissioning support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Texas Performing Arts presents the world premiere of I L I M A Q, a drum kit opera written by American composer John Luther Adams for percussionist Glenn Kotche, drummer of the alternative rock band Wilco. The concert also features additional works performed by Kotche’s duo On Fillmore, with bassist Darin Gray.

Here's another Ilimaq date, this time in North Carolina, Megafaun are also appearing.
Wilco drummer and art-music percussionist Glenn Kotche, phenomenal Alaskan composer John Luther Adams, and Durham-based Americana inventors Megafaun collide in this program of intelligent, visceral music.

From the website of Minneapolis' Walker Art Center:
Revered experimental percussionist, composer, and Wilco drummer Kotche takes on one of his most ambitious projects to date: an epic percussion opera-as-solo performance combining 19 instruments, live electronics, and Alaskan field recordings. A richly layered new work by noted Alaska-based contemporary composer John Luther Adams and written expressly for Kotche, Ilimaq (Inupiaq for “spirit journeys”) melds the rigor of modern music with found sounds of the natural world. Minneapolis percussionist/composer Martin Dosh (Fog, Andrew Bird) then joins Kotche for a kindred collaboration that clicks together loops, samples, and a battery of instruments to create a one-of-a-kind sonic mélange.

R.E.M. top 20 songs
in Someone Else's Song

Glad to see Be Mine so high in your list, I personally think New Adventures in Hi Fi is their best album, and the instrumental section of Be Mine is epic.
