it feels like our world as we know it will never be the same. Today I felt stressed and starting to get depressed with worry for the first time. And this song keep coming into my thoughts!

The sound man there (Pat) surreptitiously recorded most of their live shows during 1980-1982 - when the place burned down.

This was a good thing for REM fans.

and a Bad Thing for REM that didn't get a cent for these recordings.

They complained loudly about this for years.

I saw them at every show they did in Athens and I'm pretty sure I was there when this version of Dangerous Times was recorded
