R.E.M. Playing Harborcoat on German TV (October 2nd,1985)

Fuck, I never realized that they were this great.  The dancing alone is worth it, but the execution is impressive as well.  I also never realized how sui generis R.E.M. were.  Everyone in the band is an auteur in his own right at this point and it makes it evident why R.E.M.’s formula works so well.
