The Fourteenth album from modern rock’s most acclaimed band – a 2007 inductee in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall Of Fame – is R.E.M.’s first live album. Presented in a 2CD/DVD package, R.E.M. Live documents performances in February 2005 at The Point indoor venue in Dublin, Ireland, a city that has become second home to the band.
With a set list of nearly two hours, spanning the band’s entire career R.E.M. Live offers the “greatest hits” on stage.
As a part of this DVD, R.E.M. is re-launching www.remdublin.com as a Version 2, encompassing archives from their “Live Rehearsals” at the Olympia theatre, as well as archival information and articles from their past stints in the Irish city. www.remdublin.com features user blogs, videos, photos and stories and allows R.E.M. fans the opportunity to browse through the archives while contributing to them.
Mixing recent and past classics, R.E.M. Live promises to tide fans over until the new release in 2008.
