It's hard for people to appreciate how radical this sound was in 1983. Where are the cold droning synths, the morgue vocals, the electronic drums, the hairspray? What a lifeline they were at that time. I've never fully recovered from Murmur.

It's crazy how good they were right from the start.

Mike Mills is the one who provides the drive and the hooks in both these songs....If there was any question of how important a bass player is in a band, this is the proof.

This was the beginning of American Indie and Alternative rock.

Gotta love the matching Rickenbackers.

When this aired I was in South Korea serving in the US Army. I had been a DJ in college before joining and was into all kinds of music. I had read the Rolling Stone review of "Murmur" and bought the album at the PX. I may have been the first person to play REM in South Korea! I forced alot of my friends to hear REM and made them alot of fans.

Murmur is one of the greatest albums of all time. A classic

Easily one of the greatest Letterman music performances of the entire run. Legendary....

First tv performance and they slayed it like they had been playing for 30 years together!

Mills bass on Radio Free Europe is simply awesome. So melodic and driving.

Man... So. Central Rain is so good and so quintessentially REM.... And they had the balls to debut it with no title on Letterman. Wow. Respect.

Mike Mills looks like a little kid when he walks up to Dave at the end of Radio Free Europe, and it's awesome.

I'm an old man now but I remember at 15 my family moving to some place where I knew no one in 1986...new school and living in a trailer on a dirt lot cuz we were building a house to live in. So lonely and down but I used to listen to REM in our car and it took me up and away from my circumstances and made me happy for a change. Seven Chinese brothers was a big song for me. I was really into U2 at the time as well.

Always liked the way Stripe held on to that microphone like he was in a damn wind turbine.

Peter Buck is so natural on stage. He dresses well, has zero ego, and bops around in thorough enjoyment. This is good music folks x

wow 2 fender amps and 2 rickenbackers. i love how simple yet big early alt bands sounded.
20 |
I love that Stipe, even in those nascent days of their career, takes a step back and lets Peter and Mike have their moment in the interview spotlight.

R.E.M is timeless

Mike Mills plays bass like it's lead guitar. Bravo.
