I Took Your Name and  Fall On Me...:) Suprised to see them play Everybody Hurts again.
Was ITEOTWAWKI the first song of the encore?

[zveozdi]

Yes, I think so, as she said that the crowd thought the concert was ending with orange crush.

[pb7]

only 24 songs?

[rosie]

thanks for posting.  everybody hurts is a surprise.

Interesting to see Everybody Hurts in there. First time since Hyde Park 2005?

Was this a festival of some sort, seeing the short setlist? (Or did remroaddog miss a few songs?)

Why on earth was the tag "#remcolumbia" and not "#remcolombia", according to the tour site?

Criticising setlists is so passé, sure but... Is the "Accelerate" tour over? Is my count of 4 correct? I'll take it this is their first show in Colombia and they may have wanted to offer a more widespread setlist. One hopes they realize they've already played Brazil and Buenos Aires. And yes, you've already played Everybody Hurts in those places, thank you very much (together with more than 50% of that setlist)... And hey, IRS records can be found down there too, you know?

I agree, great setlist! :D

I still have my fingers crossed for Country Feedback.  :)

Yes, it was a festival, I believe. They played along with The Mars Volta and some other bands I can't recall.

My guess is that the setlists for South America are going to be this way, since they have never played in some places and lots of people are going for the hits. I'm really hoping they play some of the oldies, I'd really like to hear something from document or the early years instead of everybody hurts but I wouldn't complain if they covered a Pocho la pantera song either. :p

I wouldn´t consider 24 songs as a short setlist, really.
You people are spoiled. :p ;)

Few bands play 30 songs in any given show, REM being one of those lucky exceptions.

Let's not get carried away there! Mind you, after JMS duetting with Miguel Bose, I am not ready to discard it :D

I just thought that's not a million miles away from the 2001 Buenos Aires and Rio setlists, that's it. Expect being a festival you will have shorter than usual lists but other than that, there was a time where PB seemed to be very mindful of what was played where and not repeating themselves. I am not sure that is the case any longer.

I bet the crowd will be ecstatic since they haven't seen REM in so long. Take some pictures please!:)

I enjoyed the videos from the concert on the R.E.M. tour site!! Thanks to all who posted them. GREAT show and GREAT crowd! I thought that was a neat scene when the lights went out.:)

[cobain16]

Sorry to bring up this thread again (It's been one year and a few months since the show) but It was a memorable experience for me (and for my sister) and I wanted to share all my impressions here, since we don't see much band like R.E.M. here in Colombia, and I have listened to them since I was twelve years.

They played in a very old and dirty arena, which has a horrible accoustic, but It was ok I guess because songs like "Whats the Frecuency Kenneth" and "I took your name" sounded very hard, very rockish, also songs like "Walk Unafraid" and "Everybody Hurts" sounded all right. Strangely enough, there wasn't many people smoking pot (which is usual during concerts here) but there was a guy stoned to death while Mars Volta was performing, also, the arena was half filled, which was a shame, but most of the people knew the songs (you can see on the videos how the people were singing to what's the frecuency kenneth).

I wasn't really surprised when the lights went off, but It was neat, hearing the band and not seeing anything, I think Michael Stipe really enjoyed, and overall he was very happy, he smiled during tons of times, and Mike Mills was really happy too, cheering the crowd and all, he even promised to come back (I hope so).

I wanna say THANKS R.E.M., you gave me the best experience in years.
