R.E.M. - Stitchcraft

(Soundboard)

30 September 1083 - Stitchcraft - Athens, Georgia

A very interesting setlist to say the least. Although many might consider the true legendary show to be the 'It Crawled from the South' show on 10/31/83, this show shows a number of cover songs and a working grasp of many of the songs that would appear on Reckoning. Added bonus is the Community Trolls set that includes the odd "Six Stock Answers", and My Roof Your Roof, which are unknown to be released in any other format.

393 Oconee Street Across the street from the old church re-dedicated to R.E.M. was an empty commercial sewing factory and fiberglass fabrication plant known as Stitchcraft, now the parking lot of the Waterford Place Condominiums. Paul Thomas (of The Oracle and now X-Ray Cafe) and Chris DeBarr (of Downstairs fame) arranged several shows each month here throughout the early and mid-'80s. The site was later known as Lunch Paper. Bands played in a square, cinderblock room under high ceilings in a partial basement with high industrial windows and a courtyard. No bar, no restrooms. Couches came and went. BYOB. This was The Primates' first practice space. It became known for outrageous Halloween parties. Memorable performances include The Replacements, The Primates, The Tragic Dancers, Pylon and R.E.M. Just up Wilkerson Street is the old railroad trestle featured on the cover of R.E.M.'s album Murmur.
