excellent soundboard? recording. a must from this tour. did not notice any skips or other flaws, so don't settle for anything less.

20 years ago today, Slowburn, at my urging, went to see R.E.M. at the small Saga Theatre in Copenhagen and came out a fan. Didn't hurt that the band offered a short, impromptu cover of Springsteen's "Born to Run" that night as it was Springsteen taping that had gotten the two of us acquainted in the first place.
Unfortunately, Slowburn did have some issues turing taping and the master recording has one bad channel. For this release, the good channel was copied over to make a dual channel mono recording. The result is a solid recording of a rare show with a couple of unusual covers that should appeal to R.E.M. collectors.
Samples provided.
