Live From Austin, TX

History was made the night of March 13, 2008, when the members of R.E.M. stepped onto the Austin City Limits stage for the first time a special milestone for the longest-running music show in American television. Almost three decades into their career and just days before the release of their 14th studio album Accelerate, on a breezy Texas day amidst the buzz of South by Southwest that week, they gave the intimate audience of 350 a concert experience that Pitchfork Magazine called amazing and USA Today dubbed a special treat. For the first time since that night, here's an expanded performance for you to enjoy, not the edited down version from the PBS broadcast.
