My siblings told me opening acts sucked and I should not pay attention. I remember they were incredibly manic on stage and Michael Stipe introduced them as The Beatles. The crowd booed, and it went downhill from there.<\/p>\n<p>Half a decade later, I had started a love affair with the band which has not really changed my life, but entertained and informed me. I don&#8217;t really know how it happened, but I became pretty obsessed with every detail of the band&#8217;s history. I have listened to way too many bootlegs, learned way too many pieces of minutiae and downloaded way too many bootlegs. Even though I realize the limitations of their output, particularly since drummer Bill Berry left the band more than a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p>Now, they have called it quits, according to a post on the band&#8217;s official website. When the Twitter post from their account popped up, I prayed they were just teasing a song named &#8220;Calling It Quits&#8221; or something like that. No such luck.<\/p>\n<p>If I spent the next few hundred words pouring out what this band meant to me, I&#8217;d turn into one of those overwrought people who place way too much emphasis on what a performer means to them. Let&#8217;s just say that I can connect many important parts of my life to R.E.M. songs, and I&#8217;m grateful for that. I saw them in concert seven times after that 1983 performance and soaked up every memory I could. The final time was in 2008 when they played at Merriweather Post Pavilion. This was the last live song I saw R.E.M. perform.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, guys.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zZff2RIkkGk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I remember the first time I heard R.E.M.
