Green

In regards to the new Green anniversary edition, the concert on disc 2 is the same show as featured on Tourfilm. However, Tourfilm only featured 17 songs so if you count the Record Store Day EP (or if you get the itunes or MP3 version) you get 9 more songs than on Tourfilm.The only song from Tourfilm that is not included in this set is their cover of The Velvet Underground's After Hours that played over the credits. It can be found on the UK Losing My Religion CD single from Mar 91 and the UK Losing My Religion 12" single from Feb 91. There were a couple of snippets of other peoples' songs that Stipe sang as song intros that were on Tourfilm but are not included here. These were before I Believe and King of Birds. However, the spoken intro to I Believe is still in tact, they just edited the song snippet out that came between the intro and the song. Other songs on this CD (and/or mp3) that keep their spoken intros from Tourfilm include: You Are The Everything, and I Remember California.Other songs that had spoken intros on Tourfilm but lost them on CD are: Turn You Inside-Out, These Days, World Leader Pretend, Get Up, Begin the Begin, and Finest Worksong.Also, for the b-side collectors and completists, some of these same Tourfilm recordings had previously appeared as follows:1. Stand: Losing My Religion (UK CD) (Mar 91).2. Turn You Inside-Out: Losing My Religion (UK CD) (Mar 91). Note: The single version includes the spoken intro from Tourfilm not included on this Green CD.3. Belong: Radio Song (US CD & 12" single and UK & German CD) (Nov 91).4. World Leader Pretend: Music From Tourfilm (US promo CD-Video) (Oct 90), and Losing My Religion (UK CD) (Mar 91). Note: Neither the single version nor this Green CD version include the intro from Tourfilm.5. Get Up: Music From Tourfilm (US promo CD-Video) (Oct 90), and Shiny Happy People (UK CD) (Jun 91). Note: The single version includes the spoken intro from Tourfilm that this Green CD does not.6. It's The End Of The World As We Know It: Music From Tourfilm (US promo CD-Video) (Oct 90).7. Pop Song 89: Shiny Happy People (UK CD) (Jun 91).8. You Are The Everything: Radio Song (UK CD) (Nov 91). Note: Single version includes same spoken intro as on Tourfilm and this Green CD.9. I Remember California: Shiny Happy People (UK CD) (Jun 91).All of the above (except for #6) were also part the the R.E.M. Singles Collection 4 CD box set (Dec 91) which collected together singles for Radio Song, Losing My Religion, Shiny Happy People, and Near Wild Heaven.So, this Green CD includes the following live tracks not previously realeased officially on Tourfilm or any music format: Exhuming McCarthy, Good Advices, Orange Crush, Cuyahoga, Life And How To Live It, and Low (and on RSD EP & mp3: South Central Rain, and Strange).

Received cd in a timely manner. Great tunes, great service. Thanks’!!

This is R.E.M. after they already became mainstream (DOCUMENT) while making a smooth transition onto a major label (WB).This is an interesting album to me because they still maintained their college rock, underground creativity while embracing their ever growing mainstream audience, YET they hadn't morphed into their superstar (a la U2) status just yet. The next album, OUT OF TIME, solidified their world domination status.GREEN: 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition is just as revealing and satisfying as all the other anniversary editions that came before it. The live concert CD is maybe even better than the others in that R.E.M. were true concert veterans at this point and the set list is just as tight as it gets. Also, GREEN was my favorite tour because my fascination with them was at its peak. I saw the show twice in a one week period in two major cities (Philadelphia and Washington, DC), AND I got to meet the band after the DC show. (Side note: the only bad part of this experience is that Michael Stipe was the only band member who refused to give me his autograph. I think he was feeling his oats at this point (arrogance? scared?).Whatever, I remain a fan to this day and I am in love with this edition of GREEN.

All of the live performances they've released in this 25th Anniversary collection have been really great, but the band really is in top form throughout this recording. And getting to hear early live versions of "Belong" and "Low" is also nice. This was the first R.E.M. album I ever owned (unless you count the cassettes of Pageant and Document I...let's say "borrowed"...from my older sister) so there was the nostalgic aspect of picking this one up in physical form rather than just an .mp3 format...opening up the box and pulling out the liner notes and reading through them...unfolding the poster...popping the discs into the stereo for a listen. I remember listening to "You Are The Everything" while riding down the wooded and tree canopied Main Rd. from West Ashley to Kiawah (on the other edge of the continent) on summer afternoons. Well, that and lemons, limes, and tangerines.All of that said, if you're not a big fan of a band or of a particular album, then the Deluxe Edition of that album probably isn't for you. It's a remastered album and some bonus material; in this case a recording of the Greensboro, NC (fitting) show from the Green tour.

All good

Muito bom! Músicas de muita qualidade!

Un básico en la carrera discográfica de REM. En la edición del 25 aniversario pueden encontrar el disco en vivo en GREENsboro en 1988, el cual es increíble. Incluye póster y fotos.Si tienen la suerte de encontrar el EP de Greensboro pueden completar el concierto con las 5 canciones que no vienen en esta edición ya que se reservaron para el RSD.

Tra i dischi dei REM è sicuramente uno di quelli fondamentali e segna il passaggio tra due fasi della loro carriera. Più facile da ascoltare rispetto ai precedenti album, anticipa i lavori che faranno conoscere ancor di più il gruppo al grande pubblico.L'edizione per il 25mo anniversario riproduce il disco con le stesse sembianze di allora (a parte forse il peso maggiore del vinile - 180 grammi).La qualità della riproduzione è molto buona e il vinile è silenzioso.Unico disappunto: la busta interna mi è arrivata un po' strappata su un lato, a causa di qualche forte scossone, subito durante il trasporto, gentilmente provocato dalla delicatezza nel maneggiare i pacchi messa in pratica dalla maggior parte dei nostri corrieri.Per il resto tutto a posto, per fortuna.Ordinato quando era a circa 12 euro direi anche un rapporto qualità/prezzo eccezionale.

Los sigo desde sus inicios en el sello I.R.S. aquello que llamaban Nuevo Rock Americano. Me encantan los discos de aquella epoca tienen un toque sentimental que me hace recordar mi juventud no critico sus discos en una Mayor, pero no es lo mismo.
