R.E.M. live vinyl LP - Roger, Bill, Mike & Pete Remember The Byrds
Super-rare release of R.E.M. and Roger McGuinn of The Byrds live at the 40 Watt in Athens, GA. on 5/11/88!!!
This is an unofficial bootleg released on The Sons of Rickenbacker label, cat.# SOR 51188
Here is a little back story on the release: As the title implies this is a meeting of two massively influential forces in American music that occurred on 5/11/88. On that day, ex-Byrd Roger McGuinn joined 3/4 of R.E.M. and the band ran through a set of Byrds classics including, not surprisingly, three Bob Dylan covers ("You Ain't Goin' Nowhere", "Mr. Tambourine Man and "Knocking on Heaven's Door"). Of course other Byrds' classics like "Turn, Turn, Turn", "Eight Miles High" and my personal favorite, "Feel a Whole Lot Better" as well as then-new McGuinn songs like "The Tears" are well-represented. Michael Stipe, as he did when the band backed up The Troggs and Warren Zevon, absented himself leaving just the Southern Gentlemen (Bill Berry, Mike Mills, and Peter Buck) to give McGuinn wings on this fine-sounding bootleg.
Vinyl is in Excellent, near mint condition. The cover is in Excellent, near mint condition as well.
Again, this is a VERY RARE release that does not come around often, especially in this condition!!!
