In my continuing effort to make up for all of the political posts I have made you read over the last two weeks, tonight I’m offering up a double shot of REM unplugged. One from 1991, one from 2001, and both absolutely wonderful. Enjoy…..
REM Unplugged (MTV 4/10/1991)
REM Unplugged #2 (2001) – Sorry about the advertisement at the beginning of the show!
If you listened to the 1991 unplugged show you might have noticed the band playing the official theme song of tonight’s Government Shutdown drama……It’s The End Of The World As We Know It.

Thank you SO much for posting these! I videotaped the ’91 set when it was shown on mainstream TV back in the early-mid 90s, and watched it over and over again in my teens, but haven’t had a watchable copy since the switch to DVDs. I’m going to play it now and reminisce – hugely appreciated!
