R.E.M. - The Unreleased Live Album



(Soundboard)

26 September 1984 (Duke University) Page Auditorium - Durham, North Carolina


Moon River is done twice. At the end of the first time (with one word left in the song) someone screams out "Fuck you!" to which Stipe yells back "If you don't like it, you can leave!". He and Mike immediately start over from the beginning. The same guy yells the same remark at the start of the second encore which Stipe replies curtly, "Fuck you, too!". There is another story that the fan was actually shouting, 'Fuck, YEAH!' in appreciation. Apparently the fan actually wrote a letter to the editor of one of the local papers hoping to clarify the incident.

  1. Maybe I'm being a putz here but it appears that there's no download link for this album? Pity, since I'd really like to get my hands on this.

  2. I was able to obtain a new link but it only contains the first 14 songs. Will continue to work on this.

  3. OK, thanks for that. Hopefully you'll be able to find a link to the whole 21 track bootleg. That would be awesome.

  4. Found out that tracks 1-15 are from the Durham show and the remaining tracks are from another, unidentified live performance. Nonetheless, will still try to find a full link.
