I had kind of a tough childhood and when this song came out in 1991 ( I was 13 ) something about it really resonated deep inside me ; mere words cannot describe just what this song means to me ❤
One of my best memories - in that field, on a perfect summer evening, watching these guys. They have since said it's one of their favourite shows, so we kind of shared a great moment in our lives, which makes it all the more special.
Im so jealous that you got to see these guys! I wasn't even conceived in 99' so its kinda a shame... i really do think that i missed the best era of music, as all of the groups and singers around this time were and still are absolute class!
Best live singer- Michael Stipe- of all time, consistently.. Hes the GOAT. Seen a ton of R.E.M. and This video was a perfect display of how on point R.E.M. is at replicating each song.. Michael is emaciated here, sweating and looks uneasy.. Which is RARE AF for him!!!Somehow though, Michael nails this song haha hes got powers and possibly sorcery haha For real, These 3 are unsung heroes.. and he hung it up before he could embarass himself. It was time to quit sadly after 2 decades, Stipe became sad while singing towards the end of his Career. Ill always have the utmost respect and gratitude towards R.E.M.
Agreed, MS is the business but I’m not sure he was underrated. They were voted best in the world a few times weren’t they? Shame we don’t see enough of them.
King Louie5th that’s why describing something as underrated or overrated is just lazy, you might think they’re overrated and the other guy thinks they’re underrated yet you could rate them more highly than the other guy.
My dad went to UGA in the 80’s and saw these guys play for free at a field on campus. He had no idea that in just a year or so they’d be the biggest band in the world
Mikael je t'adore tu es un un ovni tu chantes comme personne tes textes sont si pertinents tu es trop beau Bref tu as tout pour toi j'en redemande encore encore encore les musiciens sont également supers je vous aime ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the greatest bands of all time, Michael Stipe is a true modern age beat poet.
@Last Call you no shit all
@Last Call agree
They are very talented. One of the best of their era, that’s hard to top.
Yep
Yes he is!
one of the greatest songs ever written
Agreed. Before pubs became a thing of the past this was one of the top juke box singalongs along with the likes of American Pie
Agree.
Dude...you havent heard Russ Abbott's "Atmosphere"!?!!!

The bass line in this tune is so underrated
that's mike mills in the corner
For true listeners and musicians is not =)) so good one!!!

nothing trumps Milton Keynes Bowl 1995 though (number 1 gig of all time in Q....)
I wish they will unite again for one great tour and come to Israel again for 1 perfect show. I miss this band.... Miss them and love them💚

Their Perfect Square '04 is my fave. Not that this isn't simply fabulous.
@@kristinehatkinson7323 '03.
There’s something going on in this. An energy that I haven’t seen before. I can’t stop watching it
its the energy of thousands of people singing along to poetry
Everytime he sang this song he sounds like it came from deep in hes heart.lime he meant it.
Yes to all comments. But he's also high on acid and flirting super nice with it.
@@scizmeli how u know hes on acid mate?
@@vader_zim1461 let's call it male intuition
great to see alan shearer back in his prime
Well now I've seen that, I can never unsee it.
@@xmikerx666 me too LOL.
Even as a huge REM fan, this seriously made me laugh 😂😂
Mike Dean?
All time premier League goal scorer, motd pundit, part time lead singer 😂😂😂
This song is so sad and the same time so beauty.... Masterpiece. Hugs from Brazil, folks. 🇧🇷
A stunning performance by Michael Stipe! Very very good.
He sings from bottom of his soul and the band members played very well, great composition.
Incredible stage presence.
The vibe is unusual and I love it
"🌹 my poet, this song was a great success and it will always be no one will ever forget 🌹"
Amor mío
Michael Stipe is amazing 🤩

Ill always have the utmost respect and gratitude towards R.E.M.
One of the best, if not the best, live voices in music ever!
There are not many band that can release an album you can play from start to finish, but 'Automatic for the People' is one of those albums. Classic!
One of the best songs of this century. Can't get it out of my head! Love it!!!
it belongs to former century but we get the message
Good music is timeless!@@oyununderinine2498
A mí también 🎉
Oh michael what a beautiful voice you have, and what a beautiful man you are. Peace to you all.
The people who had the privilege of being there were truly blessed
Насколько личная песня!!! Он слёзы вытирал. Оскар в студию. Шедевр!!!
"It's my beautiful poet, the band R.E.M love all of you kisses a lot"💗
Just wonderful ,and that mandolin is pure bliss to my hears
O vocalista é o.cara. ,quem canta é ele
Laying in my tent at Glastonbury listening to R.E.M was just a great way to end a busy day.
Wish l could see them again!!
@@donnabarry7901, Me too !
Love this song..... Michael is gorgeous
Music is about live performance, Michael Stipe absolutely nailed that ❤
One of the best songs ever
Consider this the hint of the century
Damn!! What a performance.
Still hit even 2021 whos with me
2022!
2022
Я смотрю в 2024 году! 🇷🇺
I wish i could see them live someday, i was too young the last time they played 😢
Same here, I was 6
As soon as that Mandolin hits, goosebumps on goosebumps
Wow this sounds so great live wow. He sounds just like the record
Chills every time I hear this masterpiece
This is absolutely masterful
My favourite band.
They created forever music. It never seemed the same after Bill left
Thanks for sharing. This is my favorite song! I waited for days for MTV to showcase the video.
Magnifico!!
Such an underrated singer. This guy is the business...
Agreed, MS is the business but I’m not sure he was underrated. They were voted best in the world a few times weren’t they?
Shame we don’t see enough of them.
YES
King Louie5th not possible. Too good to overrate...
King Louie5th that’s why describing something as underrated or overrated is just lazy, you might think they’re overrated and the other guy thinks they’re underrated yet you could rate them more highly than the other guy.
Michael Stipe is the lead singer of one of the biggest bands of all time. How could you possibly claim that he's underrated? 😂😂😂
"🌹 beautiful song, my poet's band unforgettable songs that I love all of them very much 🌹"
Damn childhood. Times of real art, music, performance, real artists.
Sick quality for 1999
Nunca me canso de ouvir e o vocalista continua sendo o mesmo divino
I was there ...somewhere , I don't remember much ... great times 🤙
Как перестать это слушать?!!! Божественно....
Никак. Смирись и продолжай слушать)
Не переставай, песня того стоит
When R.E.M. briefly reunited this year, they performed an acoustic version of this song with Mike Mills playing 12-string guitar instead of bass.
This song is just one of those songs everyone loves
Incredible sounding live..
IDK why TH-cam recommended it to me, but I'm here for it
My dad went to UGA in the 80’s and saw these guys play for free at a field on campus. He had no idea that in just a year or so they’d be the biggest band in the world
The 80's Rocked!!
@JG W If you dislike them so much what are you doing here?
Did the same thing with AC/DC in 1975. I saw them play at our local church hall.
@JG W Why are you watching then? Go watch something you like. It's THAT simple.
He is just a troll 😂😂
I miss this band soooo much !!!!!
Wish I would of seen these guys perform!!!!
Que banda maravilhosa . Fez parte da minha adolescência. Amo REM .👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This describes a time in everyone’s life here.
his make up is on point! i love them and the urgency of this performance so much
REM, Michael Stipe atemporal. Me respeita pq sou dessa época porra!!!
Brilliant performance
Legends
How magical sound the drums, event the ride its amazing
R.E.M and David Bowie are my favourite Glastonbury headliners. They both sounded amazing.
The crowd still goes WILD🎤🎵🎵
Amazing to see no phones in the audience being waved about. Even though I can’t be without one now, I would love to go back to that time.
Mikael je t'adore tu es un un ovni tu chantes comme personne tes textes sont si pertinents tu es trop beau Bref tu as tout pour toi j'en redemande encore encore encore les musiciens sont également supers je vous aime ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
