The only song that I can recall, that is missing from this setlist is
Final Straw, which was very well done and far more impressive than the
ATS version.
Otherwise, it was indeed a very quick concert, not in terms of actual
time, but simply in how fast it the concert went from the opening
lines from Begin the Begin, to the band's new closer, Man on the Moon.
Find the River was definitely a highlight and a very nice surprise.
Michael said it had actually been over a year since they'd played it
live.
Other notable song performance highlights, for me at least, were, Walk
Unafraid, which was very powerful, Life and How to Live It, Exhuming
McCarthy, and The One I love, each of which were performed quite
passionately. Finally, it was great to hear High Speed Train live and,
frankly, it works as a live selection quite nicely, better than I
would have expected. For those who've liked this song since first
hearing it and for folks who only came to appreciate it after many
listens, you'll enjoy the live version as much as on ATS, if not
substantially more.
Michael kept the political dialogue to a minimum for the most part
(save the obligatory Kerry t-shirt donned for the encore) and focused
his banter on rememberances about his previous concert experiences at
the Fox Theatre, as a teenage fan, where he recalled having seen
Springsteen on one occasion and The Talking Heads (or Cheap Trick, he
couldn't remember), on another. (Although, a few fans indicated that
these shows would have been at the Kiel Opera House during the time
frame he gave.) Regardless, after finding the proximity of the seats
where he recalled sitting for these concerts, he finished by
mentioning that Blondie had opened for the Heads (or Cheap Trick) and
had smiled right directly at him during her performance, an occurrence
(and memory) he obviously enjoyed and was proud to share. All in all,
he was definitely more animated and chatty in a normal concert
setting, than I'd seen him previously.
The crowd stood for the entire concert, most of them dancing to some
degree or another, at least on the lower level, thought I couldn't see
up in the upper balcony. It was definitely an older crowd than I ever
seen at an R.E.M. show, but there were also quite a few small kids
there as well, obviously attending their first R.E.M. show with Daddy.
As for me, my two sons and daughter's favorite R.E.M. song is Bad Day,
which I let them hear through my cell phone, after calling home
immediately after I heard the song's familiar opening.
Overall, it was the best R.E.M. performance I've ever seen (I've seen
them previously at the Lawrence (KS) Opera House in 1982 and on the
Green and Monster tours. In fact, after seeing my last R.E.M.
performance on the Monster tour, I remember being quite disappointed
in the show and that the band had seemed to "mail-in" that peformance,
but this was not the case on a wonderful Tuesday night in St. Louis,
where the band re-introduced its fans (and some new, very young ones)
to the magic that is R.E.M. Just a fantastic peformance all the way
around. Michael's voice was powerful and clear, he danced and moved
about constantly, with a smile on his face, while Mike and Peter just
burned up the strings and were also seriously enjoying themselves.
Also, I couldn't have been more pleased with the setlist, with the
exception of it not including Country Feedback, which should be a
constant, while Electrolite could be dropped permanently as far as I'm
concerned. Otherwise, if I get the chance to see them again somewhere
on this tour, I'm all over it! Fantastic Show Guys!

Great show.............went by faster than any R.E.M.show I've ever
been to.
Stipe was very chatty. One story was about his youth and seeing bands
at the Fox Theatre. I'll let some others explain this in more detail.
The gist is that he might have seen Springsteen in the same building
in 1978. Row F seat 8.
I was in the second row. Mills outed this woman who along with her
friend we SITTING during the show in the front row in front of me. He
just hung over them staring during One I Love till they stood up. What
a cool dude!!
Outsiders was very good.... I was surprised by all the new songs and
how well they translated live... not "mellow" at all.
Find the River was a highlight for me. Very glad to hear Life and how
to Live it as well.

[Question]: Do you have a motto in life?
[Peter Buck]: Em... "LET'S PANIC LATER". Ha, ha!
I seem to use that a lot. Because everyone around me is always
panicking. I live at a kind of high anxiety level, but I don’t worry
about stuff that much. I just feel that, you know, you can worry about 
this shit now or you can deal with it when the time comes, and it’ll 
probably be fine.

 nn avevo dubbi! ;)
Jump Jump Jump!!!!!!!!!!!!
Voglio sentirla dal vivo... speriamo in Milano.
