Crap on a crap stick, with crap dipping sauce....

I'm trying to find a copy of The Feelies The Good Earth. There is one used copy on Amazon, for $99.

eta: Ooh, Rasputin Music has a copy for $10.99....

"She Calls Your Name" - Beth Orton

t cough She Cries Your Name t cough.

An ex-boyfriend of mine always used to burst into tears at Simon & Garfunkel's The Boxer.

Hec, ending In The Pines with Black-Eyed Dog is a stroke of genius. I bow to your mix skills.

She Cries Your Name

Only about the ninth song title error I've made this month. I need a fact checker. I've got a great live, in a radio studio version of this, incidentally.

Hec, ending In The Pines with Black-Eyed Dog is a stroke of genius. I bow to your mix skills.

Thank you! That's one of my favorite tapes. The whole beginning of that tape blends beautifully (Women of Ireland - Laurie Lewis; Wayfaring Stranger - Emmylou Harris; Bargain Store - Dolly Parton; Blue Moon - Elvis Presley; Ain't No Ash Will Burn - Ranch Romance). The Ranch Romance song is particularly gorgeous, but not well known.

My all-time most heartbreaking section, though, is on Blackwater Side where it goes from: Jesus Help Me To Stand - Alison Krauss; My Youngest Son Came Home Today - Mary Black; A Heart Needs a Home - Richard & Linda Thompson. The Alison Krauss song is devastating, and Mary Black's cover of the Phil Bogle classic equally so. Then you just crawl into the solace of the Richard Thompson.

I'm too brain-addled by work to offer anything to the lists, which seem pretty damn perfect to me, anyway.

Tommy, if you can't get a copy of The Good Earth, let me know. I'll send you one via Soulseek.

David, did you live in D.C., or were you visiting someone?

This is not my first show. This is the show I am VERY bitter about missing because it was right across the street from my dorm and I hadn't yet connnected the name R.E.M. with the song that I liked so much on the radio. . . plus the ad campaign was stupid. (Sock hop in the gym! -- guaranteed to drive me away.)

24 September 1982 - Huff Gym, University of Illinois, Champaign, IL

set: Gardening At Night / 9-9 / Pilgrimage / We Walk / Wolves, Lower / Laughing / Romance / Sitting Still / 1,000,000 / Pretty Persuasion / Catapult / West Of The Fields / Moral Kiosk / Radio Free Europe

encore: Perfect Circle / White Tornado / Ages Of You / Carnival Of Sorts (Boxcars) / That Beat / Skank

This is not my first show either. This is the show my friend Micha is particularly bitter about missing because her manager at work wouldn't let her have the night off because she was going to this show!

25 May 1983 - Park West, Chicago, IL

support: Let's Active, The dB's

set: Moral Kiosk / Catapult / Sitting Still / Shaking Through / Pilgrimage / Seven Chinese Brothers / Talk About The Passion / Laughing / Gardening At Night / 9-9 / Just A Touch / West Of The Fields / Radio Free Europe

encore 1: White Tornado / Ages Of You / We Walk / 1,000,000

encore 2: In The Year 2525

notes: most likely the show finished with Carnival Of Sorts and possibly Skank, however this can't be confirmed as no more of the show was recorded

This is the actual first R.E.M. show I ever saw:

7 July 1984 - Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, IL

support: Dream Syndicate

set: Femme Fatale / Radio Free Europe / Gardening At Night / 9-9 / Windout / Letter Never Sent / Sitting Still / Driver 8 / So. Central Rain / Seven Chinese Brothers / Harborcoat / Cushy Tush / Hyena / Pretty Persuasion / Little America / Second Guessing / (Don't Go Back To) Rockville / King Of The Road / Walk, Don't Run

notes: This show was recorded by a local radio station, WXRT 93.1 FM, and broadcast twice: once at a length of 1 1/2 hours, the next time broadcast it was cut to fit a 1 hour timeslot. This show can be found on the CD bootlegs "Disturbances" (along with what is reportably the worst sound quality in bootleg history) and "Back To Rockville", as well as the vinyl bootleg "Live in Chicago"
