Timelie notes: This show was recorded for the German TV show 'Rockpalast' for WDR and it's well worth finding a copy of it to see Stipe's blonde hair, some great cover songs and the hilarious moment when Stipe goes out into the crowd during 'We Walk' and pats a big bearded guy on the head.

Notes:
-vocals sit higher in the mix than was typical, highlighting the subtleties & skill of MS & MM
-some pops at beginning of King Of The Road
-after Theme From Two Steps Onward, MS "Who's clapping and what for"?
-anoter scintillating version of Paint It Black

Grade: A+
-my only complaint is no Life & How To Live It
