notes from remtimeline: 
After their Navy Island show, 
R.E.M. played in a bar in St. Paul, using another band's equipment.  
this includes almost all of (just) the Navy Island show, 
missing the last part of carnival of sorts (boxcars)
which is listed as the final song in the show.
mostly a very good, up close stereo audience recording.
white tornado is aborted, but after it is a few seconds into it,
they play all of it, so this one is pretty typical length.
more of a momentary interruption than an abortion of the song.
