R.E.M. Setlist Würzburg August 22, 2008

AFAIK this was R.E.M.'s last open-air concert in Germany this year, but they'll be back in a month or so ...

Couldn't be in Würzburg, but here's the setlist anyway:

  1. Living Well Is The Best Revenge
  2. Second Guessing (wow)
  3. What's The Frequency Kenneth
  4. The Wake-up Bomb noooooo! missed that :-(
  5. Drive
  6. Man Sized Wreath
  7. 7 Chinese Bros.
  8. The Great Beyond
  9. Hollow Man
  10. Walk Unafraid missed that again :-(
  11. Ignoreland
  12. Electrolite
  13. Maps And Legends one of my favourites :-(
  14. Animal
  15. Time After Time ... never heard that one live
  16. The One I Love
  17. Nightswimming
  18. Let Me In
  19. Bad Day
  20. I'm Gonna DJ
  21. Orange Crush
  22. Imitation of life
  23. Supernatural Superserious (Encore)
  24. Losing My Religion (Encore)
  25. (Don't Go Back To) Rockville (Encore)
  26. It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) (Encore)
  27. Man On The Moon (Encore)
Again a lot of different songs compared to their other Germany concerts - that's one of the things I appreciate most :-) Somehow they "only" played 24 songs - it was 26 in the two previous concerts. As I said I couldn't be there - if I missed out a song, please tell me in the comments! #remwurzburg

Edit: ha! I was right being suspicious, they did play 27 in fact! thanks to the anonymous comment!

Edit: according to a visitor, they played "The One I Love" and "Time After Time" for someone of the band having had a recent split-up with his partner. Poor guy! But that's the right cure for a heart-ache, R.E.M. playing some songs for you, isn't it? :-)

I've been to the show last night and it rocked! Maybe only 24 songs (I think your list is complete as far as I can remember) but still a 2h show. On a trivia note Stipe revealed that he had mistakenly packed a 'five year old street suit' in his tour suitcase and as a consequenze played in 'a pair of pants so tight as he had before played in' :-) Maybe that was why they played only 24 songs. Anyway he said the "evening hab turned out completely different from what he had expected". Terrific show anyway! Two short videos soon to be found on youtube. (remwurzburg)

Thanks for the great setlist, it was a brilliant gig !!!

There was a special reason why they played Time After Time. Michael said that REM play this song and "The One I Love" because someone of the band split up with his partner.
