REM's 39 Songs is the Best Live Album Ever
Well, it's not. But it's definitely in my top ten. It has an ideal combination of rare cuts, tight performances, endearing crowd interaction, and die hard appeal.
The early versions of the Accelerate songs fit naturally within the set, and some of the performances have since become my favourite versions of the songs. Cuyahoga, for instance, is perfect.
