  2. This song, Stipe has alluded, was about his father. He had alzheimer’s and
    would do strange things like gardening at night.

  5. My daughter asked me: “Who is that band? That song has a nice beat. That’s
    a good drummer. Is he still alive? Are they still a band together? They go
    perfect with each other!”

  9. Mike Mills is one of the most “under recognized” great bass player’s in
    rock I think. I love his playing. Very solid always!

  10. anybody who saw soem live shows in teh early and mid 80’s could attest to
    how powerful, moody and exhillarating they were. You’d leave the show
    buzzing (and not because of hebs). Every show was different and had a
    different vibe.

  11. I saw them around this time…it may have been in 82. NO ONE knew who they
    were except college radio. I was hooked on the first inhale…they played
    in a total dive/pisssant club..no one was really even listening excepet for
    about 20 of us. I’m 45 now, and consider myself blessed to see REM, the
    last show of Kansas, Stevie Ray Vaughn and the Mills Brothers before they
    started to die off. This album made the hair on the back of my neck stand
    up—it was SO original and still is.

  14. Agree completely — Berry never did anything too fancy, but he did exactly
    what was needed at just the right moment, with the perfect blend of power &
    finesse.

  15. All wrong on Induction, my friend. Hard to explain it’s bullshit without
    recalling memories of their new powerful tour-been to show in Prague. Well,
    R’n’R Hall of Fame ‘Gardening’ was more accurate and more serious, surely
    according to THE rank of the show. Yet, much slower, no questions as they
    play with Bill who departed 10 years before. whew.

  17. Thanks for posting this show…REM at the start…first few albums playing
    in front of 100s versus 1000s. What is the source of this? I have seen a
    lot of great vids from passiac…late 70s early 80s… Van Morrison, REM,
    Many others too… Were concerts filmed by the venue? Curious.

  23. Isn’t this song about growing/harvesting pot covertly at night? I just read
    it was about someone in the band having to pee and doing it on the side of
    the road thus; Gardening at Night. Why do all their songs have quadruple
    entendres? Regardless, I am so grateful they were part of my formative life.
