R.E.M.: Live at Shoreline Amphitheatre 1998/10/18

About This Movie

R.E.M.: Live at Shoreline Amphitheatre captures a moment in time during the 1998 Bridge School Benefit Concert. The atmosphere is raw, filled with an earnestness that really resonates. You get a sense of community here, not just a band playing; it’s about the cause and the crowd's energy. The pacing ebbs and flows, with quieter, more introspective segments followed by those driving, almost cathartic anthems that R.E.M. is known for. It’s interesting to see how they interact with the audience, their performance feels very authentic. The setlist is an intriguing mix that showcases their range and depth. Definitely a snapshot of their evolution in the late '90s, a little rough around the edges but all the more charming for it.

Features rare live performances from the late '90s.Part of the Bridge School Benefit series, known for its charitable focus.A good representation of R.E.M.'s live energy and engagement.
