Info

Michael Stipe 2005
His face covered in war paint, a shaven headed Stipe leads REM through twenty years of hits, from a regal 'Everybody Hurts' to the poignant 'Nightswimming' as the dark currents of the River Medina swirl alongside the stage. Michael dances on the spot, his hands clamped to the mike stand, as if in prayer, then crouches down on his knees for 'Losing My Religion'. Thousands sing along, as he intones "just a dream", his eyes gleaming through the mask.
