R.E.M. - Tyrone's

(Soundboard)

12 May 1981 - Tyrone's O.C. - Athens, Georgia


A little context here: 11 Days before this show, President Reagan was shot by 25-year-old John Hinckley, the son of a wealthy oil exec, to impress Jodie Foster. This live performance of Rockville has none of the drunken twang of the album version. Or should we say that the album version is nowhere near as much fun as this one? Great Pre-Murmur recording of early R.E.M. Approx. 2 years before Murmur. Tyrone's burned down in 1982 and the sign pictured is now hanging at the 40 Watt Club.
