LOSSLESS RE-POST
Peppermint LoungeNew York, NY
November 25, 1982
audience recording (sound quality VG to VG+; all-around excellent transfer from a probable first-generation tape source in 2-channel mono; almost no distracting audience chatter, but there are three brief cuts here & there for tape flip, etc.)
REPERCUSSION: Peter Holsapple (solo, acoustic) was an opening act on this leg of R.E.M.'s 1982 tour. He guests here on two encores. Explore the other connections between The dB's, Mitch Easter and R.E.M. here. (And — I swear — I think I hear another member of The dB's in the audience, yelling "How 'bout them Dogs?!?" at one point during the show...)

Not sure how I missed seeing this show back in the day.
ReplyDeleteGlad I got to catch it in the present day.
It was Thanksgiving week-- probably why I missed it
Deleteman, i used to LOVE taking the Amtrak up to NYC from Philadelphia in the years before this show, to the Pep Lounge, then loiter around Penn Station in the wee hours till the next train........before i moved out west you could catch the dB's, Bongos, Feelies, just about all of my faves.....thanks much!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I think that's called BRAGGING, Ed & Jim!

Lived in N.C. at the time, and still missed out on seeing R.E.M. until about 1985.
I don't think I have this one. Thanks. Love the early REM
ReplyDeleteI recorded this. Beside the tape flip, the other two cuts were 1) Bertis Downs asking me to turn off the tape recorder (it was a big brick of a sony and with so few people there, I stood out like a sore thumb holding it), and 2) I hit record for a sec on the drive home by mistake. Glad people are still digging this. One of my favorite club recordings.
ReplyDeleteHey George - thanks for the comment and the story about recording this show. I'm really glad you didn't listen to Bertis!
DeleteWhat a classic show. Listened the first time it was posted and will have to again on this re-post.
ReplyDeleteWhat an excellent idea. I didn't re-listen as I usually do when I re-post. Will have to fix that... 8-)
DeleteThis looks fabulous! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI was there. Had no idea who they were, then word circulated around the room that it was REM. I have cousins in Athens who had told me to watch out for them. Man they were tight.
ReplyDeleteDude, I am so envious!
