REM Follow Up
My pal Lis caught REM in Scotland this weekend at T In the Park. She writes about the festival here with her usual wit and flair. You should go read it.
On a side note, I don't believe Lis was born when "Pretty Persuasion" came out on Reckoning. Just a guess. I wonder if they played that like they did in ATL . . .

Sweet of you to say my dear, but I was born in 1982 so am older than REM's entire discography. But only just...
There were quite a few deviations from the Atlanta setlist, we never got "Pretty Persuasion" (or "Time After Time", for that matter). I wish I'd noted it down actually but I was too busy jumping about for phone notes!
I should have remembered you weren't that young. Still, I was already married when Out of Time came out . . .
Rather than take the trouble to write down the set list myself, I just googled it the next morning and made some quick notes. Much the lazier way to do it.
Really enjoyed your write up!
One day I'll get to both towns but not likely when REM is there. You two are lucky!
Bud - given your recent success in the UK, you should be booking tour dates now! While you're there, you might as well try to book something in Lis's Glasgow, and maybe she can give you a review.
Oh, I'd love to see REM. I will have to check when they are coming to the Philadelphia area.
