When I was a 12 year old growing up in Rochester, R.E.M. and U2 both played local concerts within
15 days of each other.  Unfortunately I was unaware of either band for another year or two, so
I missed both shows.  Now it makes me a little sick to think about what I missed, but thankfully
each concert was well-recorded.

This recording was taken from the "L.I.V.E." LP, apparently the first vinyl bootleg ever pressed
of an R.E.M. performance.  R.E.M. were opening for the English Beat, as Michael mentions towards
the very end of the recording.  The setlist is fairly standard for this period in time, but it's
definitely worth having in your collection!

Thanks to everyone who has shared their recordings!
