Gardening at Summernight with R.E.M., 12 July 2006
10/10
Author: PurgeClerk from Bergen, Norway

Outdoor concert staged in what appears to be a Park in Wiesbaden, Germany.

The movie quality is top of the line with many cameras involved in capturing the best of R.E.M's performance on stage as well as audience reactions to their songs.

Although these guys are in their 40's now they manage to connect easily with the audience and have a good time on stage now as ever. I'd say they really pulled this one of with almost impeccable performance and the audience really loved them.

Of course most of the songs they perform are hits which everybody knows about, but to see them performed live gives an extra edge to them as you see how the artists themselves behave and interpret songs while performing.

Something else that adds a little extra mood to the movie is that the day is fading to night as the concert starts so that you get this feeling that time is passing. it's daylight when they begin with the begin, and night when they end the world, and in the gloaming of night midways they play a couple of slow songs, and of course people bong out the lighter adding a romantic and bonding touch.

Out of respect for drummer Mr.Berry there are very few, if any, frontal shots of the tour-drummer.

All in all for what it is it does not really get any better. Everything is what it's supposed to be and then some. I'd say this movie is something worth to look at for everyone who like R.E.M., and perhaps a great chance for those who are not too familiar with them to be introduced to their musical ingenious abilities that made them one of the standout bands of the 1980's, later to become one of the most, if not the most, sucsessful band up to date within the pop-rock genre.
