Seeing REM perform “Permanent Vacation” in concert had to be a thrill for the band’s fans–it’s an obscure pre-label rocker that the band hadn’t played for 20 years, before they unearthed it briefly in 2003.
So hearing them play it with Bruce Springsteen on the Vote for Change Tour in 2004? That had to be a pretty amazing moment. Watch it below:
