That was the most expensive free concert that I have ever been to. REM put on a great show with an estimated 20,000 people there. You can read about it here. It was so awesome, we were maybe 50 feet away from Stipe himself. High Points of the concert experience:

• Stipe saying "Je suis un Canadien" (I am Canadian)


• Some girl saying Stipe made her wet


• The Rain


• Stipe throwing fruit into the crowd and then throwing the fruit bowl out to protect from the acid rain


• All the wonderful Music


• A wicked finale of "it's the end of the world...(as we know it and i feel fine)" that was very extended and involved Stipe climbing on TV's and playing his stomach like a Bongo


• And the music was incredible

Too bad you couldn't make it. Here comes the expensive part. I got a parking ticket and my Van was towed. It cost $180.00 in all. Let's not focus on that, it was a great experience I wouldn't trade for anything.
