Juhu!!!!!
“Perfect Square,” the DVD of the concert we filmed in July in Germany, will be released in the spring. It is among the best live footage ever of R.E.M., directed by the estimable Julia Knowles, who captured a rockin’ show in spectacular setting–should be highly necessary for the committed fan. And speaking of compelling live footage, have you seen the bonus material on “In View”–the best of video collection? It is three songs from the 2001 Trafalgar Square footage from the South Africa celebration honoring Nelson Mandela. It is special–a nice glimpse of R.E.M. in another extraordinary setting. Check it out. And speaking of DVD releases, the classic mid-80’s documentary on Athens music, Athens, Ga.-Inside/Out has just been released. For more, click here.
