Notes: 

The VHS tape I received was missing two pieces of dialog that were aired on the original braodcast. I spliced them in from the MTV2 broadcast. The first occurs at the end of Beat A Drum when Michael talks about how he looked during the 1991 Unplugged taping. The second occurs at the end of Country Feedback when he talks about George Bush. I think I did a pretty good job with the splices and that they are unnoticable. -- Also, this was a TV taping, so there are cuts between some of the songs. i.e. not cheering crowd noise from song to song.

This is the first ever live broadcast of a complete R.E.M. show. The show begins with a false start of 'West Of The Fields'. This also has the first known performance of 'Pilgrimage'. This show can be found on the liberated CD titled "Radio Free Georgia" on Red Robin Records. Which claims to also be from the WRFG broadcast. I have the flacs of that cd and in my opinion, the boot plays slower and sounds flatter. This FM tape plays a little faster and sounds cleaner. Both Rich and I agree that the pitch on this FM tape is more accurate, versus the boot cd. The tape flip is between tracks 12 and 13. no music missing. This might be the best version you've heard so far, but not definitive.

Notes:

All of the songs are here, but there are some missing pieces. The first few seconds of “Gravity” and “Pale Blue Eyes” are cut. Much of “Kensey” is cut due to what appears to be a source tape flip. This is not a perfectly crisp soundboard, but it sounds very nice.

Here we have a rare FM broadcast from REM's visit to Madrid's Lo Mas 40 studios. It appears that all of the songs played, weren't broadcast over the radio. There is a DVD of this that does include additional songs. Songs not broadcast are "I've Been High / She Just Wants To Be / Find The River / Cuyahoga". The benefit of this FM tape, is that it includes 22 minutes of interviews, done with a translator. Along with 4 live tracks. This was spread over a 3 hour DAT tape, which I had to scan through and pull all the REM material together. Removing all the commercials and other non related music. This is definitely the entire broadcast. I believe I did a good job at editing this together.

This is known as 'The Black Session' on the Nulle Part Ailleurs show. It can also be found on the liberated CD 'Electrolite'. That release has been edited to fit onto 1 disc. There was also another DAT Pre-FM release that was chopped down to 71 minutes, missing the Bernard Lenoir comments. This new DAT copy may have been available in the past, but I didn't see this on the ttd or dime trackers. Here is the entire days performance at nearly 82 minutes complete.
