**Sadly, Peter's signature Rickenbacker guitar was stolen from the stage immediately following R.E.M.'s performance in Helsinki, Finland (2008-09-09). This is Peter's infamous signature Rick, which has been the staple of Peter's arsenal both live and in the studio since the band released Chronictown in 1982. Needless to say, this instrument means a great deal to Peter and to R.E.M. It is our sincere hope that whoever is responsible for the loss, or whoever has information which can help recover the guitar, will come forward to receive a generous reward, no questions asked.

Notes:
-Setlist highlights: West Of The Fields (1 promo, 9 tour), Inside-out (4), Exhuming McCarthy (11)
-Before Driver 8 MS states the song was written in 1981.
-MS "we really hate our government" before MSW.
-Before Houston MS notes the New Orleans connection between the somg and the previous one.
-Before Electrolite MS notes some of the bands catalog relating to the 'odd & eccentric' denziens of the west coast of the USA naming I Remember California and How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us as well as Electrolite. No cell phone thing this night.
-SM(?) on backup vocals for ITEOTWAWKI.
-Dewitt Burton is welcomed back during intros.
-MS again introduces Pretty Persuasun as about growing up queer in the 80s, congratulates Norway for allwoing gay marriage and notes "You get gay marriage, we get John McCain".
Grade: D
-Little bit distant. MS notes a lot of reverb, consistent with this recording.
