“We were all just kind of finger-painting,” Easter says. “They weren’t super-deliberate about anything. I loved that about the sessions. Even when we did the LPs, nobody was really taking any orders from anybody. There might have been people advising R.E.M. on the business end of things, to do this, that, or the other.

Easter had never even heard the band before they walked into his garage. “I met them through a mutual friend — Peter Holsapple of the dBs,” he recalls. “He was living in New York, and the guys were playing their first shows up there, and they stayed at his place. They were talking about when they went home, they wanted to record something. Peter told them about my place, which had just started.

I don’t know about all this.’ There was this sense in the air that something was changing, and the old guard didn’t like it.” But for artists around the world, “Radio Free Europe” was the start of a new era. “They were putting energy back into things,” Easter says. “I played enough shows with people standing at the back by the bar with their arms folded, but all of a sudden, something happened so that bands like R.E.M. had audiences right up at the stage, digging it. And I just thought, [it’s] about time.

I saw them playing for free at the Del Mar Racetrack the following summer. Michael had curly hair and spent most of the concert lying on the stage (he had apparently injured his back learning to surf). I dragged my BF(now husband of 30+years) who said 'They'll never go anywhere'.
Not a big REM fan but that’s a great tune.
Sold out already.
