that's interesting that the mp3 version contains the EP tracks too

[Blistersoul]

Does anyone have a download link of this version of "Live In Greensboro 1989" http://www.amazon.com/Green-25th-Ann...77976&sr=301-2
Can't find it any places. I have already bought the CD box, and I don't won't to buy it twice.

Are you just looking for the EP? If so, I can hook you up.

Hi, has anyone got Fascinating and She Just Wants to Be from the 2001 unplugged show?

Many thanks!

Hey, Blister. I haven't heard the specific recording of "World Leader Pretend" in the Mountain Stage compilation, but it seems to be the same version you can find in the Nightswimming single (Charleston 28 April 1991).

I guess if you already have one, then you probably won't be needing the other.

Nice sleuthing gargumma! I will look at the single. Did not realize it was one in the same.

I have the Greensboro EP, and I was trying to put EP track together with the rest of show, but there is some fade in on So. Central Rain, and fade out on I Remember California. I didn't like that way. So I think it maybe will be better to have the complete 26 track version.

Looking for some instrumental b sides from the Monster era. They are:

Tongue
Crush with Eyeliner
Strange Currencies
Bang and Blame
What's the Frequency, Kenneth?

Found all of the other b sides, but specifically looking for these instrumentals in FLAC.

Any help would be appreciated.

Blister

EDIT: Looks like you would actually need the 7" singles to get proper FLAC's. If anyone has, that would be great. If not, I will look into picking up the singles from Ebay and Discogs. (Just bought Bang and Blame from Ebay, will share rip when I have it. )

In regards to the new Green anniversary edition, the concert on disc 2 is the same show as featured on Tourfilm. However, Tourfilm only featured 17 songs so if you count the Record Store Day EP (or if you get the itunes or MP3 version) you get 9 more songs than on Tourfilm.

The only song from Tourfilm that is not included in this set is their cover of The Velvet Underground's After Hours that played over the credits. It can be found on the UK Losing My Religion CD single from Mar 91 and the UK Losing My Religion 12" single from Feb 91.

There were a couple of snippets of other peoples' songs that Stipe sang as song intros that were on Tourfilm but are not included here. These were before I Believe and King of Birds. However, the spoken intro to I Believe is still in tact, they just edited the song snippet out that came between the intro and the song. Other songs on this CD (and/or mp3) that keep their spoken intros from Tourfilm include: You Are The Everything, and I Remember California.

Other songs that had spoken intros on Tourfilm but lost them on CD are: Turn You Inside-Out, These Days, World Leader Pretend, Get Up, Begin the Begin, and Finest Worksong.

Also, for the b-side collectors and completists, some of these same Tourfilm recordings had previously appeared as follows:

1. Stand: Losing My Religion (UK CD) (Mar 91).

2. Turn You Inside-Out: Losing My Religion (UK CD) (Mar 91). Note: The single version includes the spoken intro from Tourfilm not included on this Green CD.

3. Belong: Radio Song (US CD & 12" single and UK & German CD) (Nov 91).

4. World Leader Pretend: Music From Tourfilm (US promo CD-Video) (Oct 90), and Losing My Religion (UK CD) (Mar 91). Note: Neither the single version nor this Green CD version include the intro from Tourfilm.

5. Get Up: Music From Tourfilm (US promo CD-Video) (Oct 90), and Shiny Happy People (UK CD) (Jun 91). Note: The single version includes the spoken intro from Tourfilm that this Green CD does not.

6. It's The End Of The World As We Know It: Music From Tourfilm (US promo CD-Video) (Oct 90).

7. Pop Song 89: Shiny Happy People (UK CD) (Jun 91).

8. You Are The Everything: Radio Song (UK CD) (Nov 91). Note: Single version includes same spoken intro as on Tourfilm and this Green CD.

9. I Remember California: Shiny Happy People (UK CD) (Jun 91).

All of the above (except for #6) were also part the the R.E.M. Singles Collection 4 CD box set (Dec 91) which collected together singles for Radio Song, Losing My Religion, Shiny Happy People, and Near Wild Heaven.

So, this Green CD includes the following live tracks not previously realeased officially on Tourfilm or any music format: Exhuming McCarthy, Good Advices, Orange Crush, Cuyahoga, Life And How To Live It, and Low (and on RSD EP & mp3: South Central Rain, and Strange).

Also, for the b-side collectors and completists, some of these same Tourfilm recordings had previously appeared as follows:

2. Turn You Inside-Out: Get Up (US promo CD) (Sept 89), Losing My Religion (UK CD) (Mar 91), and R.E.M. Singles Collection (4 CD box set) (Dec 91). Note: The single version includes the spoken intro from Tourfilm not included on this Green CD.

4. Orange Crush: Get Up (US promo CD) (Sept 89), Radio Song (UK CD) (Nov 91), R.E.M. Singles Collection (4 CD box set) (Dec 91), and Everybody Hurts (US CD & 12" single) (Aug 93). Please note that this live version has sometimes been mistakenly labelled as being from Georgia (November 1989) and Orlando, FL (04/30/89). Also note that the single version includes the Army intro not on Tourfilm or this Green CD.

I have to point out that a promo released in September 1989 (Get Up) is very unlikely to contain material from a show held 2 months later. In fact, all previous versions of Orange Crush are from the Westwood One show (recorded in April), so the newly released one is something we haven't had before.
On the Get Up promo cd, Turn You Inside-Out is also the recording from April, and that version later appeared on the the 2-disc version of the "In Time" compilation in 2003 (mislabeled as "from Tourfilm"). The Losing My Religion single (both standalone and Singles Collection relelase, which are the same by the way) has the one from Tourfilm.

[gargumma]

the concert on disc 2 is the same show as featured on Tourfilm

Isn't Tourfilm a collage of five shows (Nov 10 being just one of them)?

I don't have the Get Up promo so am unable to check it specifically. Does anybody have the Get Up promo who'd be willing to share copies of the two live tracks for me to compare?

In regards to Orange Crush, I played the version from the Everybody Hurts single and the one from the Radio Song single simultaneously with the Green anniversary concert CD. They mostly match up and sound very similar. However, it does appear that there are some differences, particularly in a couple of the bridges, so I've updated my previous post. Thank you for the info.

I would still like to hear a copy of the two live tracks directly from the Get Up promo. Any help would definitley be appreciated.

That's what I've always heard and thought too.

However, I spent this morning playing the Tourfilm DVD on a portable blu-ray player while playing the Green anniversary concert CD on my stereo at the same time and every track on Tourfilm (short of After Hours obviously) matched exactly. So either Tourfilm is all from November 10th or they got the liner notes wrong and the Green concert is also from different nights.

all audio from tourfilm is from greensboro, but the video is from various arenas.

Hi, if anyone could post unplugged versions of 'Fascinating' and 'She Just Wants to Be' I'd be hugely grateful.

Thanks in advance
