REM 1982-04-24 Merlins Madison WI Audio Only

This show is widely available on bootlegs. I just thought it was so good, it needs to be here, too. Really good soundboard. In fact, it’s truly one of the best REM tapes ever. Michael is still doing some of those vocal tricks that don’t really work. Kind of comical, really. This copy is sourced from a boot CD entitled Carnival Of Sorts. Made in Italy it says.
