Earliest REM Recording [ID77]
Date: 1980-05-30
Venue: The 40 Watt Club
Location: Athens - GA - USA
Event: NA
Edition: NA
Format: CD Cover
Tour: NA
Notes: A trader from Murmurs found a tape lying around his house with some early live tracks on that he couldn't match with a known setlist. He immediately upped it on easytree to get some thoughts on it and share it around. After some deliberation amongst ourselves and with a big helping hand from Adventures in Hi-Fi author, Tim Abbott, it was identified as: The 40 Watt Club, 30 May 1980. This predates the Wuxtry recordings by a week and is less than 2 months after their first ever show.
