Wow! What a show...absolutely wonderful setlist, including Heron House, Exhuming McCarthy, Perfect Circle, Fall On Me, gorgeous acoustic Let Me In, and my personal highlight - Country Feedback. Incredibly energy, great crowd. I'll let someone update the full setlist, but it was really wonderful :D

Just back in bournemouth myself after the gig. All I can say is AWESOME!!!
A fantastic day....right at the front on the railings listening to a fantastic set played brilliantly by the guys. Perefect circle during the encore was totally amazing.

Just back home too and I'm completely speechless. This was my 12th time seeing them and I think it's the best yet. Perfect Circle. Perfect bloody Circle! I'm so happy!

Oh and another lovely moment during Electrolite when Michael got the whole audience to hold up their mobiles/lighters to recreate the view of Hollywood, looked so magical. Also, he dedicated "Walk Unafraid" to "the most wonderful group of people, redheads...and I believe here you call them gi...gingers?" Struck a chord because my boyfriend's ginger :P

Still so, so happy to have heard Country Feedback live. Can't get over what a wonderful set it was.

Back to Greenwich - what can I add? It's been AMAZING! I went to Cardiff and Southampton and was lucky to see them live a couple of times this year (incl. Amsterdam, Berlin, Budapes, Prague) but tonight's was probably the best. Perfect Circle and a wonderful County Feedback with a HUGE Peter solo. Just amazing! Michael came down to us both at One I love and LMR, held his hand, lots of eye contact etc. Wonderful atmosphere - thank you all in the audience for making this such a wondeful experience! London was the star tonight

Aaargghh, I am so annoyed ill healt has kept me from seeing them this year. So glad you all had fun.

[stipeeyes]

I'm so completely jealous you got perfect circle.  Mike kept his word.  

Here's a few cool pics from gettyimages.

Such a good show, Amazing! :D

Perfect Circle what can I say :eek:

Finally heard "Ignoreland"

Somebody tell me REM will return soon to the UK

[MaddeningLoops]

I am so on cloud nine right now, 11 times seeing them live and I FINALLY heard Country Feedback. Other highlights for me were Perfect Circle, The Wake-Up Bomb and Exhuming McCarthy. Also brilliant Chris's inflatable Stipe - during the encore break a security guy came up to us and said Michael had requested to have him on stage, and he placed him centre-stage at the end. Wonderful night, thanks R.E.M.!!

Soundcheck was: Perfect Circle, Find the River, The Wake-Up Bomb, and bits of Living Well, Hollow Man and Supernatural Superserious

[elvisrem]

Awesome!!!!

[Crystal Eagle]

I was feeling jealous before hand, a combination of finances and health stopped me going, but then to see that THREE songs from my really want to hear live list were played :mad:

The three were Let Me In, Perfect Circle & Country Feedback

And then Find The River in the soundcheck - just my (joint-)favourite R.E.M. song :mad:

[RBowden]

After being rudley awakened by a thundertorm at some ungodly our this morning, I just thought I log on and see what I missed. I think I'm going to cry! As well as the great stuff we had at Southampton (Ignoreland, Fall on Me, Let me in) you had These Days, Prfect Circle and Country Feedback....You lucky, lucky people - it must have been incredble.

[jocelyn]

It was an amazing night.  My first time with REM and I loved it.  Such a great selection of songs, was thrilled to hear the early songs and the new ones.

[helenw]

Amazing!  Like a previous poster I think this was my 12th time and probably was the best - the setlist just flowed perfectly with enough crowd pleasers and old favs to keep everyone happy.

Started off in fan club seats (which sucked) but quickly dodged security and moved down to the pitch and maanged to get to the barrier.  The atmosphere was incredible.

The highlights for me were I've Been High (beautiful live), Exhuming McCarthy, Perfect Circle and of course Country Feedback.

Please come back to the U.K. soon!

[nuffingman]

Awesome! 3rd time seeing them and easily the best. We were near the front Mike's side and the atmosphere was fantastic. Excellent set list. Couldn't believe they played Country Feedback. The crowd as well made this a great show. Come back soon.

[blang]

Am i dreaming but they played  "sign of the times" no one mentioned it

AM I DREAMING BUT THEY PLAYED  "SIGN OF THE TIMES" NO ONE MENTIONED IT

THEY PLAYED SIGN OF THE TIMES

I believe its a very old song and I haven't got it on any of my bootlegs

WAS I DREAMING

Please tell me

I think you mean Exhuming McCarthy:)

[assscat]

Please tell me someone taped the show – I have to hear Peter's Country Feedback solo again. Sublime. The best I've EVER heard. :D

Oh, and The Wake-Up Bomb – incredible!

In fact the opening four-song salvo - Living Well Is The Best Revenge,  These Days, The Wake-Up Bomb, What's The Frequency, Kenneth? - was brutal. But fantastic. What a way to start a show.
