remphish1 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I wanted wish R.E.M. a happy 30th birthday! 30 years ago today in Athens, GA R.E.M. played their first gig at a friends party! R.E.M. has been my favorite band since 1989. A lot has changed since then but they still play a very important role in my appreciation for music and are still my all time favorite band! Some old pics...yayhttp://remhq.com/news_story.php?id=1145 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Weren't the Rolling Stones celebrating their 25th anniversary or so, when folks started making "Steel Wheelchair" jokes? Hard to think of REM the same way, but... damn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Definitely always a pleasure to see live, since they actually rehearse album cuts that they will play along with a few certain radio staples. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
