Does anyone happen to have this show?
REM - 1984-11-21 - Nottingham, UK (pre-FM/FLAC)
I saw it here (http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f145/r-e-m-1984-11-21-nottingham-uk-pre-fm-flac-137211.html), but all the links are dead. Would love to track it down. It was my first REM boot, still my fave, taped on cassette from Live 105 FM in San Francisco in 1994. Brings me back! Thanks in advance. : )

This show was partially broadcast by the BBC. This is not taken from the BBC outside broadcast tapes, this is most likely taken off the soundboard used for the venue’s PA system.
Before Sitting Still, Stipe tells the audience the heel of his shoe broke off and if he can have another shoe, so someone in the crowd throws their shoe up on stage. The part broadcast by the BBC can be found on many bootlegs, including "In The Wood", "Nottingham" and "Old Man Kensey".

As happens every couple weeks, I'm on a huge R.E.M. kick now. "Reckoning" is playing as we speak.
I need to see the entire documentary. Every time it's on VH1 I always catch it from the second half.

I finally got the REMTV set for Christmas. Documentary is great, I remember a lot of the footage from the 80s and 90s.
Really want an 320 MP3 audio RIP of all six discs. Can anyone offer this? or can give me insight how to do it myself on a PC? I have little experience, so quality may not be up to par. If Anyone has the time or will to do this for us Superfans it would b much appreciated. Thank you - Buckhead

It might take a lot of work but you can use the program Soundflower to record streaming audio in Audacity. That creates lossless files easily. LAME mp3 is usually what is used to create mp3s, but I don't consider the quality to be very good. I would honestly recommend uploading tracks to a bandcamp album set to private, and then downloading as mp3 320. Bandcamp has very good audio conversion, but this may not be legal, as they don't want any copyrighted material up there. If someone knows a better way to convert audio please let me know.
Get Magic DVD Ripper, you can then rip the dvds to your laptop/pc in any format. You just need to select mp3. I'm doing it also for my car

A little something I'd like to share because it's deeply R.E.M.-related.
This past weekend, Jan 3rd, I was at my friend's for some barbecue and drinks and a good time. Let me tell you about the surroundings: she lives in a kind of village enclosed within an urban area, with a somewhat big preserved woods area all around. It's a very quiet place. We were sitting in the porch, just looking at the night sky, enjoying the cool night after a scorching day and having a good talk. Her husband went inside and we stayed there. My friend and I are the biggest R.E.M. fans you can ever meet where I live, and she's the only person to whom I talk about the band, news, lists, preferences and whatnots. And we live in a city where people only know R.E.M. as 'that Losing My Religion band' -- when they know the name of the song. They'd be scholars if they knew, say, five other songs (Everybody Hurts, The One I Love, ITEOTWAWKI and the such). We kept talking about deep stuff, childhood, parents and life's troubles and, all of a sudden, we both stopped talking... when we heard 'All The Way to Reno' coming from beyong the woods at 1:30am. Do you have any idea what it is to have a late non-hit like that playing at 1:30am surrounded by trees and insects just out of the blue like that? We looked at each other in disbelief and couldn't say much for the next minute or so. She then said it was so surreal, we couldn't begin to express what it felt like. But it actually felt like someone decided to play that song exactly because they knew two huge R.E.M.-heads would be right on the other side listening. It would have been just another nice talk to my best friend, maybe not an especially memorable one, even, but it turned out to be something neither of us can ever forget. One of those truly weird moments. And there was no other song after that. (Now I'm suddenly the 'cool story bro' guy...)

that is very awesome. what an odd song to hear from the distance...
here's my recent REM-related story. some friends and i decided that it'd be fun to get together every once in while to play REM songs since we're all big fans. we ended up getting booked to play a show on halloween and then another on NYE. all cover band shows, so we fit right in. it's funny the songs we thought would be obvious to everyone got total blank stares (driver 8, radio free europe, so central rain, pop song 89, stuff like that). we chalked it up to the age difference between us and a lot of the people at the halloween show. we threw a few more "hits" in for the NYE set and still got mostly blank stares. though it's funny how many people perk up with recognition when they hear the opening chords to "what's the frequency" and then vaguely mouth along to all of those lyrics! and, without fail, the room filled up when we closed with "end of the world". at least everyone knew that
