Just because folks have been getting pissed off with my clumsy attempts to collate all the info and various versions of this most recently from Voodoo Wagon here it is again and with all the links to others’ versions so you should be able to amalgamate the lot and come up with a complete set of the historical and groundbreaking concert Stills gave in CUBA all those years ago now. Hope I didn’t rub anyone up the wrong way and that certainly wasn’t my intention. I DO get carried away and the cross pollination of this item being so historically important I may have not made myself entirely clear, in the interest of clarity both Soundboard, So Many Road and two of the contributors at The Voodoo Wagon had shared this recently and a visitor to one site shared the FLAC extended version so if you put them all together you have the best extent versions we can ALL make!
Sorry for any offence or confusion which I am entirely to blame for and could be clearer! Soz my friends! and by sheer coincidence this just happens to be on Still’s birthday! So that seems right, check ALL the links out and you will have the best time [Thanks to Brother Jobe for his unerring support and all at the Wagon (Enoch and XRay) plus Speedy at So Many Roadswhose version I first found back in 2002 and the artwork I shared [as did others] , and Rippin Frog and visitor Seattleite at soundaboard [for the FLAC version] Enjoy! I certainly did!
Paul says: Here's another great concert by R.E.M. Like the other one I posted a few days ago, this one only became publicly available in December 2025. The sound quality is excellent.
This concert first became available through Rob, who runs the dB's Repercussion music blog, at:
It's an excellent blog, I recommend you check it out. I've included Rob's original notes to the recording. That explains how it was recorded and got into his hands. The bottom line is this is a soundboard.
The only snag is that six songs are missing. Those include the first four songs: "These Days," "Begin the Begin," "1,000,000," and "The One I Love." Also missing are "Just a Touch" and "Femme Fatale" from the middle of the concert. (Specifically, they came after "Little America.")
This was the very first concert of the band's 1986 tour, which supported their recently released album "Lifes Rich Pageant," which had been released two months earlier. As a result, many of the songs were performed in public for the first time: "These Days," "Begin the Begin," "The One I Love," "Cuyahoga," "The Flowers of Guatemala," "I Believe," "Superman," "Strange," and "Lightnin' Hopkins." (Too bad that the first three of those aren't included here.) It's interesting that two of those songs, "The One I Love" and "Lightnin' Hopkins," wouldn't be released until the band's next album, "Document," in 1987.
Rob has this to say about this recording: "It is the finest-sounding 1986 live recording [from the band] now in circulation, and the first concert-length soundboard recording to emerge so far."
This album is an hour and 22 minutes long.

A big hit one hundred years ago. The song that was so hot it “helped put the roar in the roaring ’20s” Also the first hit song where the male singer accompanied himself.
Either way Shake it Don't Break It!?

Route say: Roger Miller was born in Fort Worth, Texas on this day in 1936.
Trailer for sale or rent, room to let fifty cents.
Miller was one of those voices from American we first heard singing in the UK charts for reasons best known to someone else and I have said before I thought it was inescapably cool but didn’t know what some of the references were and always wanted someone to translate what things like a “broombazzah” was (sic!) . . . . . . wot?
