Wow, cool! I've never seen pictures from this event before. How bizarre that they'd only been together for like 8 months when they did this.
Where did you get the pics from?

I got actual prints of these in the mid-80's. In fact, all the ones posted came together from a friend. These are the only 3 I have from the 1980 show.

You should be able to find a setlist at the link below, I believe the site also lists if the show got taped or not:
http://www.remtimeline.com
"We were listening to the UNC radio (station) there and they were playing an R.E.M. song. I like R.E.M. fine, but at the end of it, the DJ says, 'Ya that was R.E.M., the sound of the new South'. I looked at my roommate and we said, Gawd, if that's the sound of the new South, I preferred it when it was on the skids. That's how we got the name."

This is a portion of a new "postcard" Bertis wrote which is up on HQ now in which he reflects upon the Fox Theatre show while reflecting upon the recent GA Hall of Fame performance:
In fact, when many of the further-back tables came streaming down the center aisle when the band launched into Begin the Begin (including many fine and professional music executives!), it took me back to another cherished ATL moment when, in early December of 1980, this new young band called R.E.M. from Athens was invited to open at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in Atlanta for the hugely-successful Police. Well, during the opener’s set, a few songs in, all the sudden the orchestra pit floor was full of a throbbing mass of Athenians rocking out to R.E.M.’s early reportoire, just as they were used to doing at Tyrone’s, the 40 Watt and UGA back home. This caused quite a concern from the powers-that-be in Police and Fox quarters and by the time the headliners took the stage, the floor of the pit had been lowered to make sure such a kerfluffle would not happen again. And that the crowd would be a safe distance away from the musicians onstage... The other night, i am guessing that at least a few of the stage-rushers were among those crazy kid dancers all those years ago... the whole night had a real old home-week feel too in the best possible sense.
