R.E.M. with Micheal performing the old spiritual song ‘Swing Low, Sweet Chariot’ & then a snippet of Talking Head’s ‘Psycho Killer’ before launching into ‘Sitting Still’ at the LCR, Union House, University Of East Anglia, Norwich, England, 23rd November 1984.
R.E.M. were in Norwich, England, where they played to the students of UEA at the LCR (Lower Common Room) – a venue where I’ve seen a few bands over the years this night was special for the first time where Michael sang the old american spiritual song ‘Swing Low, Sweet Chariot’ (now strangely used as the pseudo anthem by the England rugby team),and for good measure, the guys included a snippet of Talking Heads ‘Psycho Killer’ into the mix! before launching into Sitting Still
