R.E.M. celebrate 'Green' 25th anniversary

R.E.M. is preparing to release the 25th anniversary edition of the 1988 album Green on May 14th. Ahead of the release R.E.M. is celebrating Green by posting video from TourFilm (the 1990 live concert release shot on tour supporting Green). Take a look at "Get Up" and "Stand" from TourFilm below or just stream the full concert on Hulu:





The 25th anniversary edition of Green features the remastered original album with a bonus disc of live performances taken from the November 10, 1989 Greensboro, North Carolina, stop on the Green world tour. The bonus disc includes 21 live songs (five additional tracks that were scrapped for space were released last month on the limited edition Live in Greensboro E.P. which is streaming here). The physical CD version of the anniversary edition comes packaged in a hard clamshell box and includes with four postcards, a foldout poster, and new liner notes. The release is also available on 180 gram vinyl and as a digital download. Pre-order through iTunes, Amazon, or your favorite record store. For more on the release visit R.E.M.'s official site.
