So moving to hear them play it “in the raw”-acoustically, with no amplification. Michael’s voice, unaccompanied, was all the more vulnerable and therefore poignant. I think he too was overcome by emotion as he sang this particular song again as a 64 y o man now-40 years since he first shared it. Bravo!
Yes. Bill was featured in a 2 part interview on CBS Mornings and was part of the. induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and performed with the band at the event. During the interview on CBS, Bill admitted to later having some regrets about leaving the band when he did.
They sound so good still. And Michael’s voice is still so solid. There’s a vulnerability there that made me very emotional. Why can’t they just be like The Rolling Stones and play till they’re dead?
who in the hell is Ameliagerwirtz and why am I seeing her name all over this video? God the internet has become stranger than strange. Let the music be. You don't need self promotion.
@@BobSeger1981 No, it's the opposite. I've binged on so much good music over the last 30 years that stuff like this just sounds mediocre at the very best.
Possibly my favourite song of all time
Same for me 🙏❤️
Absolutely beautiful. So great seeing them perform together after 13 years. Bravo!!
With Bill it was even since 1996
@@RudyDeSaedeleirHe played in the 2007 RnR Hall of Fame induction.
great sound quality thank you
So good to see the band together again, even just for a single event.
El Rock nunca muere, siguen siendo los mismos , gracias por todo.
Pretty tight considering. Class most certainly is permanent! Bravo gentlemen!
such good stuff

so...more of this? around the world? please?
No they aren't going to
@@mearndt1 yeah they also said they weren't gonna play at all and here they are
@@ryannichols2046 And this will be the only time they don’t see it happening at all
My childhood heroes.
The anti-U2.
And my Energy Booster😊❤
Who else votes for one more record and tour, come on REM
Sadly, not gonna happen
@@l.a.3479 I agree but you can always hope. I was thinking maybe a record and just not tour could maybe happen at some time.
Le falta fuerza...
Such beautiful poetry. After all this time, still tears me up. How lovely.
A reunion Tour would be so beautiful....
yessssssss
But it won’t happen
Please come back REM. Music needs you.
They've done enough. Any music now and people would just complain about how it's not as good as it used to be because everyone in the world sucks now.
I respect their decision. Let them be.
@@jltrem Fair enough.
Don’t be sorry they are gone. Smile because it happened.
They said they don’t see it from happening I respect their decision
I am so jealous of the people who were there and thank you so much to the person who recorded and posted this - thank you

33 years *
There is amplification and accompaniment...
I worked at WBR when we released that record, brings a tear to my eyes. thanks for posting.
He sounds as good as ever
This is Epic!..Its too much to ask for them to be together again, they have done for 30 years....but man....this is a gift
*It's or it is
My god. I’ve been binging in REM over the weekend, what a blessing to music
That was just a dream...
That's like a miracle happening ❤
How amazing to have been there - thank you for making and posting this vid. ❤
They still sound great
Ignorant statement
Wow, I guess there was a comet and I missed it.
Is that Bill on the drums?!!!
Yep!

where the fuck do u see drums???
Congas are drums. Gobshite.
@@lucianogoyenechea8704 On the stage.
Wow. Never thought id see this.
Cmon guys what do you think??
One more time?!?!?!?!
So good to hear these guys live again😎❤
Just told a friend last week how lonely it was without REM
Get REM at Glastonbury, one last time. Let's start it here
Come back. Just for a moment... Please... I have tears in my eyes.
They sound so good still. And Michael’s voice is still so solid. There’s a vulnerability there that made me very emotional. Why can’t they just be like The Rolling Stones and play till they’re dead?
Because they're so much better.
It really sucks they won't do a short tour, there's a whole generation of people who never got the chance to see them. Or at least an album.
They barely see it from happening
17 years is indeed a long time. I'm sure a tour is just under their skin.
They've for sure got another album left in them.
Well done gents. Great songs, great careers, great vibes, always touched with grace.
Wow! One of the top 5 greatest songs of all time. Arguably, THE greatest!
The ONLY band I will see in concert should they ever perform and reunite again
I Lose my Energy ❤come back for you and me ❤i crush withe the musicbox❤Come back come back too me(RS)❤❤❤❤
who in the hell is Ameliagerwirtz and why am I seeing her name all over this video? God the internet has become stranger than strange. Let the music be. You don't need self promotion.
My favorite song since I was 5 years old
How much would you pay to see REM live, if they ever did a tour it would be mayhem trying to get tickets.
Clásico temazo 🥰
Back in time
Who else is crying from the emotion of Michael Stipe’s voice?
Qué emoción verlos, aunque sea por un momento.
Amazing memories 😊😢 I didn't want this to stop
Thanks for the video!!
💜💜💜💜
This is so amazing to see
I love this song! ❤
Please tour guys we miss you
Amazing 🤩
🍀🎼🎼🎼🪂❤🎼🪂🪶🎼
Still got it ❤
I love how everyone is silent during this performance...no doubt realizing what a special moment they are witnessing. ❤
They're not silent. You can hear them all singing along, because they realize what a special moment they are witnessing.
Awesome 😎❤️🔥
Great !
Mike Mills is playing a 12-string acoustic guitar instead of a bass here.
I’m so glad that I’m not the only one that’s aging gracefully. AMAZING video!!!!!!!
Beautiful.
Aunq solo fuese para una canción ... Los he vuelto a escuchar juntos en 2024 .... Gracias
Pretty f'ing tight for not playing together for a decade or more now.... I'm sure there's a lot of muscle memory to lean on but still PFT.
The Sphere in Vegas is waiting for your Residency!
There's really no pro-shot video? Y'all better download this, they are gonna come after it I bet.
This had to feel like seeing Bigfoot, wish I was there!!
As fresh as ever. Super talented all of them ❤
The best American band ever and the worst audience ever...
Worst audience, why? I thought they were perfect.... dont we want to hear the band, especially this band and performance? Yes.
@@bobabooey4537 My comment is based on videos of this performance I saw elsewhere (on platforms in which I could not comment on).
не стареют душой ветераны. )))
Great to see, hope their appetites were whetted!!
❤
Consider this...the hint of the century.
*Hint?
METALLICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dyers Eve
The Rolling Stones!1!1!
poor michael's voice..
When Aging finally hits you 😢
Does it sound like it did? No. Does it sound good? Yes.
How the hell is this the only video of this on UA-cam???
Stop complaining and cussing.
OMG that’s fantastic! Shall we connect?
They need to come back for a world tour. It’s selfish not to offer this to fans
put that into it why bother ....you come for us or the money , if the latter forget it ......i never thought i heard you sing .
Just be quiet.
A top contender for one of the most boring songs of all time..
You must’ve not heard too many songs
@@BobSeger1981 No, it's the opposite. I've binged on so much good music over the last 30 years that stuff like this just sounds mediocre at the very best.
I wish they performed a better song of theirs...
LOL
well, this is their most trascendent...
Been over 30 years and hundreds of listens. This song still moves me.
@@lucianogoyenechea8704*transcendent?

That’s great! Let’s be friends :)
