R.E.M. Live at The Olympia Set for Oct. 26 Release
In the late days of June 2007, R.E.M. hunkered down at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin, Ireland. For the week that followed they performed a series of shows (dubbed the “experiment in terror”) featuring some entirely new songs that would eventually be released on Accelerate. The fruits of these sessions have given birth to R.E.M. Live at The Olympia, a 2-CD, 39-song live album just announced for an Oct. 26 release.
A special edition release of the album will include a live DVD of the shows, filmed by the duo Vincent Moon and Jeremiah. The two last worked with the band on the video archive Ninetynights, documentary Six Days, and the video for “Supernatural Superserious.” A streaming preview of the album is available over at the R.E.M. Dublin website. R.E.M. Live at The Olympia is out Oct. 26 on Warner Bros. [Paste Magazine]
