As REM prepare to barn-storm their way around the stadiums of the world, we have a show feature two members of the group in far more modest surroundings - Slow Music in Seattle's Showbox.
It's interesting how your perspectives change with time. When I first played this concert way back in 2006 my notes tell me that I wasn't overly struck with what was going on.
A couple of years on, having spent a good portion of yesterday with the ensemble percolating gently (and not so gently) in the background, the Slow magic worked its spell far more persuasively than Bill Rieflin or I gave it credit for back in 2006 (as you can read on my blog entry at the time)
