R.E.M. 1984-09-28
University Of South Florida Soccer Field, Tampa, FL
I got my cass copy of this show within a week of the show.
Got mine from Steve and he got his from Nadia.
Hers could have been a 1st gen sbd.
I played back my copy on my Nak CR-5A on mormal bias and EQ setting and adjusted the azumith.
The audience u hear is thru Stipes mic, most of the crowd was jammed close to the stage.
Back by the sbd it was wide open allowing me to dance 20 yards in any direction,
which i did. What a show. Maybe someday the Boys will give us a prestine copy.

Notes:
-Bit of Voice of Harold lyrics in Seven Chinese Brothers. After the song, MS notes that they are celebrating the Jewish new year.
-MS introduces Driver 8 as a 'A cinematic, 3rd person narrative concerning the breakdown of American Heritage 20 Years ago.' He also calls it Drivers 8
-After several attempts to get the the crowd to move back, PB threatens 'Let's play a Doobie Borthers song. That'll move 'em back.' He goes so far as to launch into the intro.
-MS has a lot to say between songs tonight
- 9-9 is split between two tracks, same for Last Date
-After Hours is listed after Last Date, but I think that is by mistake ast the somg had already been played
-nearly 7 minutes of Skank(!), longest recorded? This song gets cut off so often, sweet to hear an extended version. This is backed up (without stopping) by 3 more minutes of Tusk
Grade: B
-runs a little slow
-mics a hair overloaded if you have to nitpick
