4.0 out of 5 stars Looking forward to the full set
R.E.M has released several of the songs from this upcoming 'live' cd individually. Several tunes from RECKONING were released in an EP called "Reckoning Live at the Olympia". So far, so good. Stipe is a little long-winded and talks in circles prior to the song (what else is new?). Lots of energy in this song and, as always, the band is tight. I won't give it 5 stars...

2.0 out of 5 stars Tired and Worn...
Tired and worn rock music without a melody - barely more than noise.

Pass the free download....

This review is from: These Days [Live At The Olympia] (MP3 Download)
R.E.M has released several of the songs from this upcoming 'live' cd individually. Several tunes from RECKONING were released in an EP called "Reckoning Live at the Olympia". So far, so good. Stipe is a little long-winded and talks in circles prior to the song (what else is new?). Lots of energy in this song and, as always, the band is tight. I won't give it 5 stars because I wish the band would 'remix' or otherwise change some of these tunes. When you cut out the 1:30 of applause and Stipe's monologue, you get a song that is (almost) exactly 3:25 - the same length as when they played it on their Life's Rich Pageant CD. I'm not sure what the point is of releasing songs that are almost exactly the same as they were on the CD released over 20 years ago. We know they can still play.

Thanks for providing this one free of charge.
