Rem song need help

Hi peeps,
I need some help !!!

I saw rem at the move festival on sunday and they were awesome but they played a song and I know some of the lyrics but not a name can someone help.

lyrics I know go something like this

that was there, that was then, that was what we wanted you to see,
This is now this is here.

It's "So Fast, So Numb" from the "New Adventures In Hi-Fi" album.

Hadn't heard that in years until Sunday. Good gig but I'd have liked a little more old stuff like some of the previous gigs they've done. Nothing pre-"Life's Rich Pageant". I'm probably being a little greedy.

I think the worst moment of the gig was when they got off stage after the encore

i`d never seen them live before but they were brilliant stipe has got the rock god pose nailed..

If you like REM then Warner are to release their Greatest Hits
on 3 seperate formats. These will be a 2cd edition, dvd-audio
and a dvd. The release date is October 28th in the US.

Might wait for that then :D

I like loads fo their congs but they are all on different albums

R.e.m. 'In Time - The Greatest Hits' confirmed as 27th October in the UK :-)
This album will probably only contain the tracks from the Warner Bros years... 'Green' - 'Reveal' (+ 2 new tracks)
Get yourself a copy of 'The Best of' or 'Eponymous' which covers the earlier material.
Watched them @ T in the Park on Saturday evening and they were, quite simply, awesome!!!

I'm sure I read somewhere that it was to be career spanning with the band picking the tracks as opposed to a straightforward singles collection.

I certainly hope so.

If I was Kopite (and as an Everton season ticket holder that's very unlikely

), I'd be picking up every album from 'Murmur' through to 'Green' -- all of them are faultless and can be picked up cheaply. Big shouts to 'Life's Rich Pageant' (my favourite) and 'Document'

Just checked the website again.
No confirmed track listing but it does say 1988-2003.

2 very good albums indeed! and can bve picked up in double cd form for about a tenner! More of a document fan myself, but Lifes Rich Pageant does have its moments.
