REM Cardiff Internatonal Arena

[Helen D]

REM were right on form with an impressive set which included Pilgrimage (first time played in Europe), Leper, Exhuming McCarthy, Kenneth, Heron House, Living Well, Supernatural, Hollow Man, Country Feedback, DJ, Religion, End Of The World and Man On The Moon.(Full set list below). Venue change from the Millennium Stadium to the more intimate Cardiff International Arena meant a more intimate gig. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, though we were all possibly a bit too hot. REM seemed relaxed and happy, Michael Stipe communicated with the audience with warmth and humour - a perfect night of good solid rockin' music.SET LISTLiving Well Is the Best RevengeThese DaysWhat's The Frequency KennethExhuming McCarthyDriveMan Size WreathHarborcoatIgnorelandBad DayPilgrimageHollow ManElecroliteNew Test LeperI'm Gonna DJThe Great BeyondThe One I LoveSweetness FollowsLet Me InHorse To WaterOrange CrushImitation Of LifeENCORESupernatural SuperseriousLosing My ReligonCountry FeedbackDisturbance At The Heron HouseEnd Of The WorldMan On The Moon
