Notes:
-Before NTL an audience member welcomes R.E.M. "To the world stage".
-Before Electrolite, MS says he feels like Glen Close in a scene of Dangerous Liasons
-Before Suspicion, MS says he feels like this is a 101 course in Barbarian arts (?) 
-Before Country Feedback, MS "I doubt that we're going to have a world-wide revolution tonight but I would urge anyone who wants to stand up to [crowd cheers].  He thanks them for 'the Austrian songs".  PB's solo 1:12
-Before HAWA MS urges someone to "Just take your clothes off and get it overwith".
-Sweetness Follows is introduced as Peter's favorite song.
-Find The River is introduced as Mike's favorite song. 

Editorial:
-This show has a very intimate feel, similar to an 'Unplugged' vibe as MS interacts with fans between almost every song.
