Notes: 
1989: The Year R.E.M. Broke. For some eight years, R.E.M. had enjoyed
a natural progression as their popularity and fanbase increased
steadily, but with the release of Green and particularly the single
"The One I Love," R.E.M. climbed up to that amazing place just one
step short of the rock stratosphere, and the last step on the ladder
where there are still two directions to move.

As such there was still some innocence left in '89, even as they were
largely an arena band in major markets. They showed a film about how
the audience should behave. They played obscure covers. And there was
only one extra musician (Peter Holsapple) and he didn't play on every
song.

The band had skipped the NW on the first leg of the tour, so JEMS
trekked to CA and AZ to capture those shows. But save for the Miracle
in Tempe, these late-tour performances were more appealing than the
spring run and Seattle was the best of the bunch we saw in the fall.

1989 was also The Year JEMS Went DAT and this is the first R.E.M. show
we recorded digitally. With great seats on the floor, great mics and
the new DAT deck, this is one of our best R.E.M. arena recordings ever
(samples provided). We did run out of tape at the end, so the last 4-5
minutes  come from our friend MS's recording, done with Nak mics but
as an analog master. The result is a fine snapshot of the band in this
wonderful but fleeting era. The performances are uniformly excellent
and Stipe slips into a lot of other people's material quite
effortlessly along the way.

The JEMS master of this show has circulated previously in a DAT > CD-R
generation (thanks GH; those were the days) but this marks the first
time the direct DAT sources have been torrented.
