An REM thread for r.e.m. stuff

nice one again boomers86 will download tomorrow ever so grateful for all these rarities

couldnt open/play the 2005 single due to it being mpeg4, is there a mp3 audio rip of these ? thanks again

I don't have mp3 versions of those songs but i can try and do one soon.

Or if you wanna see the full vids (it's cos that year the single was a DVD), and you can download apple's QuickTime (it's free and compatible on Mac/PC/Linux) you'll be able to play them in there/iTunes if you get that as well.

No worries, thanks for all your stuff too, it's been great hearing them!
 
Ok here's the Mike Mills with Sally Ellyson cover of Jesus Christ that I accidentally left off the last zip:

Jesus Christ (w/ Sally Ellyson of Hem) - Red Apple's xmas CD



also i don't have the other tracks from the 2001 xmas fan club single which were:

02. Find the River (live audio) ??/??/01
03. Fine the River (live rehearsal, enhanced video) Athens studio '01

if anyone has these i'd be very grateful if they could upload them.


I haven't heard that other version of Jesus Christ, so thanks a lot for that! I have the 2001 Fanclub Single, and can send the audio/video in zip. I just gotta ask...the video is in quicktime format. Will that work? unfortunately, mp4 will only play on an ipod, or in itunes. As for the 2005 DVD, I ripped the tracks to mp3 some time ago, and have them on my ipod. However, I did it on another computer, and unfortunately don't have them saved. :-( I'll see if I can rip em again, and pass em along here. I can't tell you guys how grateful I am for all of this great stuff! It'll be a pleasure to help you any way I can. :)

Hi REMFan,

That's fine with me, I use those programs to watch most vids anyway. If it's not too much trouble could you upload the 2001 xmas vid track as the mp4 file as well as an mp3 rip (which i know soundofthenorth has requested).. It's just I'd very much like to the actual vid... thanks!

Great Tracks !!

Does anyone have any mp3/zippy's of the following concerts ?

Olympia Theatre 5 July 2007
Slane Castle 22 July 1995
Marlay Park 16 July 2003
Odyssey Belfast 25 February 2005

Would love an audio of any of the above !!

Thanks :)
 
Thanks for the early demos, just downloading them now,

I hadn't been able to find the live dates for the Dashboard stuff for ages, but I just thought I'd try again quickly and found it all right away! It was a taping for 'MTV2's Album Covers' where Dashboard covered the whole of AFTP and played some of their own stuff. It was at Arlene's Grocery, New York City on 25 November 2003. Michael appeared on those two tracks only. I think the mp3 rips came from the official Dashboard Confessional album 'MTV2 covers' released in 2004.

Will have more stuff to upload tomorrow hopefully, thanks again!

Hi thanks for the latest uploads, and yeah I think you have covered everything you said you could help me out with, so a huge thanks once again!

And about the Oxfam gig, we were lucky enough to go to that and get to the front row, but not so luckily they zoomed right in on my face during Losing My Religion and I'm singing along looking like a right goon! Still, it was a good night...

Here's some more from me:

-'New Song' c. 80s (No idea where/when this is from, sounds a bit like an early 'Wolves' maybe? good quality nonetheless)
-Untitled AFTP acoustic instrumental demo
-Saturn Return (longer mix) v. similar but with longer intro
-Love Is All Around (live) - 19/11/92, 40 Watt Club, Athens, GA - only song never to have been commercially released from this '92 Greenpeace gig. Unfortunately this is not soundboard quality but still fair enough

Performance by Mike Mills, Scott McCaughey, Ken Stringfellow and Robyn Hitchcock. Unfortunately I only have these two songs from what was a pretty long show.

01. I've Been High
02. Here Comes the Sun (Beatles cover) (both Ken Stringfellow lead vocals)

Kingpins Alley, Athens, GA, 08/10/05 = 35MB
... 4-piece R.E.M. (Berry, Buck, Mills & Stipe) reunite to play DeWitt Burton's (long serving technician and friend of the band) wedding:

03. Wolves, Lower
04. Begin the Begin
05. The One I Love

... and I think that covers all the stuff I have for you, soundofthenorth. Looking over the list of what you wanted, I couldn't find the live version of Superman from '05 that I used to have, must have delted it... the last thing is to try and rip live versions of Me In Honey and Leave from the Rock am Ring vid I have... It's been a great trade, thank you so much for all your great uploads and hopefully more will crop up,

Dan (Boomers86)
 
I'm currently trying to enlarge my collection of live tracks, but I'm not a big fan of the bootleg quality. If anyone can get me some rips from the DVDs, radio broadcasts, television broadcasts, etc. that would be great. I really just don't have a whole lot of stuff that's listenable from almost any point in the band's history apart from the b-sides they've released.
 
Would it be alright if I picked out individual tracks from those recordings? When it comes down to eras, the only quality Around the Sun song I have is "I Wanted To Be Wrong", so if someone could upload one of the shows from the last tour that was broadcast, that would be a great start!

I'll have another good upload soon...
