R.E.M. Reveal Live Album Details
As previously reported, R.E.M. have another live document in the works, taped at Dublin’s Olympia during a five-show stint in 2007. The run of warm-up gigs has since become the de facto ground zero for the band’s current semi-comeback, and now they’re highlighting the shows in quite a comprehensive fashion.
R.E.M. Live at the Olympia is due October 26 via Warner Bros. and is set to include 2CDs filled with 39 songs from across the band’s career, from newbies (“Living Well Is the Best Revenge”) to super-oldies (“1,000,000”) to fan favorites (“New Test Leper”). Warning: This is not a greatest hits set. Listen to the Olympia version of “Driver 8” after the jump.
A special edition adds an impressive-sounding DVD to the mix. Directed by grain-loving “Take Away Show” auteurs Vincent Moon and Jeremiah, the visual disc features around 20 songs from the Olympia stand as well as behind-the-scenes footage.
Check out all the tracks to be included on the audio discs below. (The DVD tracklist is still being sussed out– try this official microsite for ongoing Live at the Olympiaupdates):
