R.E.M | Radio Free Europe | Letterman 1983

R.E.M. performed two songs, Radio Free Europe and So. Central Rain, on David Letterman in October of 1983 when their album "Murmur" came out. Wow! Letterman holds up the biggest Compact Disc (CD) ever seen. Pretty great performances and a little interview before So. Central Rain where Peter Buck talks about some of the other bands from Athens, Georgia, including Pylon. The Pylon stuff is really pretty good. They recently released a new record on James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem's record label DFA Records.
