PS: I`m not 100% sure of all the song titles. Please correct me, if I`m wrong. Got the setlist from the REM Setlist webpage, but they hadn`t the last 4 songs on the bill. Anyway...this is the complete show and a master recording...what more can you get ?

Notes:
-Before Disturbance At The Heron House, MS "Good evening. For reasons of courtesy, I will not accompany the next song with a hand gesture, hich I do usually use.  However, this is a song about oligarchy concerning a very small undercurrent of active participants".  I'm speculating that he is referring to Nazis here.
-Before Begin The Begin, the requests start coming.  MS "We're going to perform what we want to perform.  This is the next song we want to perform".
