REM sound better rehearsing a song than most bands sound on record.
Love how Michael suddenly springs to life once Kate shows up.
I was at this rehearsal, as being invited from a friend that was on the production. Its hard to tell from the video quality that Micheal's suit was made of FED-X Tyvek mailers! Thanks for posting!!!
One of the best musical performances in SNL history... it's clear they worked hard at it.
This fills me with joy.
Musicianship genius aside, the lyrics are mega-sophisticated! What a group!
Oh my!!! Such fine music. Love it!!
Michael stipe was so gorgeous to me in this. Those bee stung lips and I missed when he had hair bc he had really nice thick hair that he changed constantly. I swear theres a clip of him in 85 with bleach blonde hair he looks like a young elvis Presley. I love this song love the 90s I remember this live performance and it's a great memory.
Yes keep enjoying this music you never though where it might lead. :-)
In music is the power to change. :-)
You like Kate Pierson? :-)
I agree -- I had a big crush on Michael Stipe during this time. My friends used to tease me about it.
His voice is so awesome!! I forgot how great this band was!!! ❤
They were just like kids even though they were all with more then 12 years on the road !!!
Absolutely wonderful stuff!
Love this so much and the reggae version of HSP at the end is intriguing
Such a great band.
The Audio feels like it's in Surround Sound Fantastic!!
I’ve watched this in full so many times
Katie is still the best! And Bill Gates on Bass vocals are good too
I used to see these guys bumbling around in Athens, GA in the old days. Then they did all this.
back when a band sounded just as good live as they do on their recordings...
Gold
I don't understand why people say the band hates 'Shiny Happy People'. They not only wrote and recorded the song, they spent a lot of money producing a video for it and ended up performing it on SNL. Would be strange to do all that for a song they don't like.
The band has stated on several occasions that it's one of their least favorite songs. They've rarely played it live and they left it off their greatest hits album. Though I think it might be more backlash against the huge success of the song rather than the song itself.
From what I remember, and it's a long time back....; it was intentionally written as a 'pop single' for the charts. REM had just signed up to EMI I think and the company wanted a 'hit', so they came up with that given that they had never really been a singles band as such. So it's kind of tongue n cheek, but still a decent pop tune.
Gracias
Beautiful voice by M. Stipe
+21:19 - REM doesn't need to rehearse. The camera operator - not so much. To be fair, he/she got it right for the broadcast.
It's always about the camera being in the right place at the right time.
@@StratsRUs Isn't it? One of the best examples of that is Gin Blossoms when they played Follow You Down on Letterman. There's an EXCELLENT live-only moment in the songs final verse; right before the final line of the verse is spoken..they arrive on the final measure and they let the note hang and the vocal is dragged out [ BEAUTIFULLY ] over the instruments; just as they begin to fade. Let me get a l8nk and timestamp. It illustrates your point, so well..
Primera. Muuuucha paciencia,,.,hola Michael.. ❤️
I wonder who is playing the guitar in the background behind Mike Mills for LMR and adding the synthesizer in SHP...anyone know? Just curious...
It’s Peter Holsapple of the db’s. He was with the band for the entire 1989 Green World Tour
In my opinion the 2nd rehearsal on Happy Shinny People was better than the 1st one. The were kind of more into the song.
Fed ex suit
Losing my religión. Por que ese título?
😌😴
habla de cuando a uno le gusta una persona y no sabe si esa persona le corresponde... a esa sosobra se refiera la pieza
It's a saying from the Southern United States that means to get frustrated.
perder la religion es un dicho del oeste de ee.uu que en español seria como perder la paciencia.
la cancion nos e trata para nada de religion, sino de un amor no correspondido y la obsesion de no perderlo.
They really f'd the mix up. It sounds amazing at 7 minutes. Then you fast forward to 30 minutes and it sounds awful.
Wtf
