This is REM just before they went huge, taken from the world tour promoting the GREEN album, their first since joining a major label.
It captures them at their very best, playing the tight guitar-based alternative rock that typifies their early work.
After this album they didn't tour again until the Monster LP and by that time their muse had left them and if REM still exist in 2003 they are no longer relevant, at least not to these ears, sadly.
It is easy to see comparisons between Michael Stipe and Morrissey during this period - they certainly wore similar clothing anyway!
Nothing much else to say, this is just a no-nonsense concert video from one of the best bands of the last 20 years, playing at their peak.
If you like their music before OUT OF TIME then buy it.
If you don't, go see a psychiatrist or an ear surgeon!
The only negative of this DVD is that it is only in PCM stereo format - there isn't any Dolby 2.0 or 5.1 or DTS audio track.
Maybe it will get remastered and re-released at a later date,
it sounds great anyway so it's probably not necessary.
On the plus side you can put on English subtitles to find out what Stipe is actually singing - very useful for "It's The End Of The World As We Know It"!
One nice touch is the band playing "After Hours" by the Velvet Underground at the very end (again unlisted on the DVD).
