    February 1981, 18 months before the release of their first EP, Chronic Town.

    Got recently posted by Wuxtry Records, where Peter Buck used to work and where he met Michael Stipe to eventually form R.E.M. They were opening for Joe “King” Carrasco.

    REM - 1981.02.20 or 1981.02.21 @ 688 Atlanta - YouTube

    1. “Rave On” (Partial) -> cover
    2. “Burning Down”
    3. “Dangerous Times”
    4. “I Don’t Want You Anymore”
    5. “Get on Their Way”
    6. “Different Girl”
