For those who are interested…they've moved their 10/6 show from MCI to the lovely GMU Patriot Center.
Sounds like they are having some trouble moving tickets time around.

REM @ Patriot Center
Damn, that sucks. But then again, that's probably one of the smaller venues REM will play on this tour.
i have class that nite…looks like traffic will be nice and congested on my way to and from class…
Any word on when tix go on sale? The last album was just awful, but I understand they've been rehearsing a lot of old stuff, so it should be a good show.
REM and the Patriot Center…two damn good reasons to stay home.

The fanclub pre-sale started today. The public sale begins this Saturday (6/28) at 10 am via TicketMaster.
From the interviews I've read, they are dusting off a lot of old pre-"Green" songs for this tour.
"Warner Bros will release In Time: The Best of R.E.M: 1988-2003 this October 27th internationally and October 28th in the United States. As previously reported, the best of collection will include two new tracks, "Bad Day," slated to be the first single, and "Animal," which R.E.M. debuted along with "Bad Day" in Holland and London. Tim Hope, director of videos by Coldplay and the One Giant Leap project among others, recently shot a video for "Bad Day" in Vancouver just prior to the beginning of R.E.M.'s current tour.
Please stay tuned for more details about In Time."

they were awesome.
a good portion of 'Life's Rich Pagent', a little 'Document'…
'Boxcars'!!!
'Fall On Me' was wonderful (one of my fave middle-eights in rock).
'People Have The Power' into 'Its The End Of The World…' was cool.
new songs were a little 'whatever' (especially the one which was just
the
music from 'Its The End Of The World..' but with different words. i
mean..
it was EXACTLY the same).
nice to see so great an REM show after so long.
i really want to go to this show, esp if they are making a sincere effort to kick up the notch with the old stuff. the albums from the 1993 and on, until this last one, were shit but they've got 15 years of earlier stuff. i love reckoning. that's my favorite album.
'course i probably can't go considering the flippin' patriot center is SO not public transportation friendly.
bugger!

That's my problem as well. But I figure I have about 3 months to find a solution. :D May have to investigate those Zip/Flex Car things.

Actually, the fan club presale was a couple months ago. This presale is just the general public presale through their website. You don't have to be in the fan club to participate, but you do have to register. If you want to go to this show, you should see what's left in the pre-sale.
They've been playing tons of old stuff from every record. Hell, one night they played something like 4 songs off of Fables. Rumor has it they're sounding great.
I'll definitely be there.

Advertise in the City Paper "Friends" section saying you're looking for a friend who has a car, and likes to go to shows.

also, is anyone else having tremendous server difficulty today? 70% of the time that i try to get to a web page (including my yahoo mail page) i get an error message. our IT people say that at&t is having domain service name issues in the northeast.

Yeah, it looks like they'll be playing a bunch of older stuff since the tour is kinda for the greatest hits cd. I got tickets in February or so through the fan club, the fan club is great that way :D
