Olympia

They're coming thick and fast now. REM rehearsal 1 - the DVD - is now up for download from

http://www.murmurs.com/torrents

It's a mothertapes product and I know from the REM Point Theatre DVDs I've got this should be really exceptional. I still cannot believe that the second Point Theatre show isn't professionally done.

At 3.75GB I'm not sure how long it'll take to download, but should be worth every minute. The more people downloading and sharing the quicker it'll be for everyone - so get downloading...

For anyone not monitoring murmurs.com (are there such people?) the two 'not a show's I was at (Tuesday and Wednesday night at the Olympia) are up on

for download. Haven't quite finished downloading them myself, but I feel almost as excited as when I was in the queue for the show - OK maybe not quite that excited - but I've had my fingers crossed for this...here's hoping the quality is good..

What a wonderful time my son and I have had in Dublin! First of all the show on Sunday. The band was at their very best in a wonderful mix of great new songs and lovely old songs, like Sitting Still, These Days and many more. This was the best R.E.M. performance I've seen up to now!

This is still not a show - Wednesday Night

Just back from Tuesday night 'not a show'

Just got back home from a fabulous night at the Olympia. And I have to say what a privilage it was to be there. Not sure if it was because I was dead centre, about 8 rows from the front and had a brilliant view, or what the band would say, but I thought all 5 guys on stage looked in top form.
