The insurgency began and you missed it
R.E.M. had a little help tonight at their encore in Philly; Eddie Vedder joined them (and Johnny Marr) onstage to sing the excellent "Begin the Begin." So many great shows happening from both artists lately, to see them together would be astounding. Until video surfaces (edit: here), I'm gonna have to imagine it went something like this:

UPDATE: mp3 from last night!

Good review at philly.com

if you are going to link back to the hollywood post you should also put the hollywood zip back on your server.
I would...but my server's jam packed
surely you could bump something? i'd like that show.
Hey, a vid is up on youtube, not the best but you get the idea:

That is way too much musical talent packed onto one stage. My head may explode.
I was watching those REM/Eddie videos last month and I started wondering if I was missing out on REM since all I know from them are the easy to sing to ballads and not much more. I got the first two albuns but I haven't yet got into it!
this Begin The Begin is really a side of them I've never heard before.. much rock and rollish (AH) kinda thing..
is there any rockier REM album? (yeah rock'n'roll dude!!) :P
I'll second the motion to get that hollywood show back up...even for just a little while....or better yet, any show that you may stumble upon from the current tour....saw them last week in "DC"...amazing!
@uma pessoa: if you are looking for "rockier REM", check out their most recent release "Accelerate"...or go back and check out "Monster"...
Hi Heather! Second of Eddie Vedder's solo shows in San Diego, final show of the tour: http://imwalken.wordpress.com/
Enjoy!
I was just about to suggest that you relay your zip file to this site for them to post:

but it turns out that they've already posted the same recording:

(it can be a bit of a pain to actually download from this site's posts sometimes, but I guess that's how they discourage the digital hoarders. Some of the content on there is well worth it, and they've posted a lot of stuff up there)
Thanks for that video, though - that is a dream pairing and the perfect song for Vedder.
one day i will not be stuck in hawaii...
