Who likey the R.E.M.? Me do! If you want a free copy of R.E.M.’s double live album, R.E.M. Live At The Olympia, all you gotta do is read this post and figure out the magic secret!
The two-CD set, produced by Jacknife Lee, features 39 songs that capture the best moments from the band’s 2007 working rehearsals at Dublin¹s fabled Olympia club, where singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, and bassist Mike Mills tested out new songs for R.E.M.’s 2008 studio album Accelerate.
The material was tested for five nights before fired-up, capacity crowds comprised of fan-club members, friends, family, and fans from all over the world.
R.E.M. have always been an impressive live band. This should be a great release.
Okay, you’ve read this far so I’ll tell you. If you want to win the free copy, drop me a comment or send me an e-mail with “R.E.M. Contest” on the subject line. Then, check your e-mail in a week when I send out a random e-mail to someone telling them they win if they send me their mailing address within 24 hours.
That’s it!
To whet your appetite, here’s a little R.E.M. for ya . . .
I Will Survive (Gaynor cover)-R.E.M. (alt link)
You Are the Everything (R.E.M.)-Redbird (alt link)

Ooh! I’d love to win the copy! (Although I’m in Germany and not sure if this disqualifies me from the start) But I’ll give it a try

I didn’t care for their last (and first) live CD. Hopefully this one will be better. (Thanks for the contest.)
