REM's new "Live" package, with 2 CDs and a DVD, has been released by Warner Music this fall--the footage and audio are taken from a two night stand at the Point in Dublin, the last two nights of our winter 2005 European tour. I just got my copy (somebody in our near our building poached the Fed Ex of the first attempted delivery!) in the mail and I checked out it--it's a great document of the band live, really interesting visuals (courtesy of director Blue Leach--and captured in part by my man Jon Shrimpton on the camera) and the audio is top notch (haha that's an audio joke). It was mixed by our live sound engineer, Brett Eliason, who mixed all the Pearl Jam live CDs, and also mixed the album versions of "Please Return It" and "Ontario" for the Posies. I'm in there now and again...and you can really hear my barroom piano stylings on "Rockville" and "Man on the Moon"...we were deep in the tour at that point and playing in a totally confident manner--everything is brisk, but relaxed as well..."in the pocket" is the term you can use (if you must!). Available at the usual outlets worldwide, j'imagine.
