R.E.M. Newport Centre, Wales. 18 May 1989
My favourite gig ever was R.E.M.'s concert in Newport Centre, Wales during the Green European tour of 1989. I wasn't that big a fan before the concert, only had 3 or 4 tapes of the band, but they completely blew me away. In retrospect I think the timing was right, they were a band very much on the ascendency, having released their first album on a major label months before. "Green" was a brilliant debut for Warners, it wasn't the commercial sell-out that many had predicted, in fact the acoustic instruments where very much to the forefront, more so than in the previous years release "Document". The "Green" album was well represented in the concert, 8 out of the 11 tracks were played that night. The band musically were fantastic but it was Stipe who shone. It was the first time i'd ever seen a front man so charimatic and exciting that you literally couldn't take your eyes off him. Support that night was from Bristol's The Blue Aeroplanes, a band before that night i'd never heard of. When they took to the stage with three guitarists, a bassist,a drummer,a dancer and vocalist in shades, i got the feeling "this is going to be interesting". I wasn't wrong. Brilliant live band, guitarists going mad, a vocalist shouting poetry and a Wodjek the dancer, doing well, some sort of mime/dance hybrid. When their next release "Swagger" came out i bought it immediately and was pleased to see that they managed to get Stipe to sing backing vocals (well, moaning really) on "What It Is". So on 18 May 1989 i was lucky to see two of my top five favourite bands of all time on the same bill, at the top of their game, being brilliant. You don't get many nights as good as that.
