R.E.M.: Live

R.E.M.'s energetic performances are a cornerstone of their legacy as alt-rock pioneers. Fuelled by Peter Buck's wiry jangle, “Radio Free Europe” reveals their debt to punk's dishevelled energy, and the rocker “What's the Frequency, Kenneth?” shows off the group's power pop side. With fans belting out every last word, the tender “Everybody Hurts” captures the participatory nature of R.E.M.'s concerts.
