Watch a pro-shot early R.E.M. show filmed @ Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ on June 9, 1984. After kicking off with The Velvet Underground cover Pale Blue Eyes they played songs from their first two albums and their debut EP. A couple of very famous guests join them during the second all covers encore. Roger McGuinn nailed his parts, while John Sebastian was obviously having fun, but came up short in the end.
It was broadcast on 17 July 1984 as an MTV special Rock Influences: Folk Rock.
Roger McGuinn played at the Tivoli, Utrecht, The Netherlands - 2009-07-15. He used a 7-string Martin for the acoustic songs.
Roger McGuinn takes a trip down memory lane:
In 1965, The Byrds' Gene Clark, Roger McGuinn, and David Crosby wrote the song Eight Miles High about their plane trip to England. Two years later, the group returned to London and McGuinn took along his home movie camera. Editing inside the camera, McGuinn created a one-take short film that Paul McCartney called "brilliant." In this Growing Bolder exclusive, McGuinn tells the story of this historic film -- and then shows it!
