Here's a really good live version (pretty decent footage and sound), from 1984, of one R.E.M.'s many early strongly guitar driven tracks, off Chronic Town. I discovered them at about this time, when I was still in high school. Ironically, the local rock station (96 WCMF in Rochester) was playing "Pretty Persuasion" from the The Reckoning for a very short while, which was the first R.E.M. song I ever heard.

that bass line is so bouncy. and michael stipe's hair is also so bouncy and full of body. HA! they sound a little off around 2:30-2:45 but maybe its the recording. I'd prefer to think that early REM was occasionally off, its more comforting that way.
