The day finally came and then went just as quickly. Isn’t it crazy how we wait and anticipate something that’s going to take place and then it feels as though you blinked and it was over? R.E.M. were amazing and Stephen had the best time of his life. I feel that he revisited his childhood for an evening. The band and visual show were superb, but the seating left something to be desired. I had never seen a show at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley before, so didn’t know what to expect. We had lawn seats which seem comfy and spacious, but ended up being on the side of a steep hill and among about 1,000 others who were also trying to keep themselves from tumbling like Jack and Jill down the hill. Fortunately, if you were lucky enough to find a small cut-away area in the grass to perch yourself on, it was a pleasant experience. No more complaining… here’s a fun clip from the show. I would recommend seeing them soon if you’re a fan. Carpe diem! Enjoy.
