Notes:
-Setlist highlights: Wolves Lower (4), Cuyahoga (7), Strange Currencies (5)
-Before Wolves, MM tells the crowd "This is not the opera, you do not have to sit down", that they look better standing up and the band wanted to see them standing up.  MM adds "Every R.E.M. show is a clothing optional show, so feel free to express yourself however you so choose."  After the song MS notes he had some difficulty in the ass region with (? some sort of clothing I think) and asks for a closeup of it.  He adds a short standard intro for Ignoreland.
-Before Great Beyond MS "This song takes place in the 70's in certain parts of my imagination".
-Before Walk Unafraid, MS notes the song has become a queer anthem.
-Country Feedback 1:45
-Before MOTM MS notes they have a lot of family & friends at the show, he made sandwiches for Patti Smith here and apologizes again for missing the last note of Walk Unafraid
