1 January 1982 - Maxwell's, Hoboken, NJ

2 January 1982 - Cats Cradle, Chapel Hill, NC

8 January 1982 - 40 Watt Club, Athens, GA
event: Tanzplagen show took place on this night. Later that night after the venue closed Tyrone's burns down due to a faulty heater. R.E.M. were scheduled to play the venue with support from Tanzplagen at a later date, however because of the destruction of the club this did not happen. Mike later commented that one thing that did survive the fire was his bar tab.

14 January 1982 - 40 Watt Club, Athens, GA

22 January 1982 - Friday's, Greensboro, NC
set 1: Gardening At Night / 9-9 / Windout / Unknown / There She Goes Again / Sitting Still / That Beat / Pretty Persuasion / Mystery To Me / Carnival Of Sorts (Boxcars)
set 2: Ages Of You / Catapult / Shaking Through / Laughing / Romance / Ghostriders In The Sky / Permanent Vacation / 1,000,000 / Wolves, Lower / Radio Free Europe
notes: The unknown song sounds to me like a cross between Talk About The Passion and Romance, with a bit of Pilgrimage thrown in. I've seen some lists claiming it's either an early version of Talk About The Passion or Pilgrimage, but personally I think it sounds nothing like them and is a song in its own right. This show can be found on the CD bootleg 'File Under Kudzu'. This show is listed on that boot as being at the 40 Watt Club in Athens in January 1983, however this is the correct date and location

23 January 1982 - Viceroy Park, Charlotte, NC

encore: White Tornado / Stumble / Ghost Riders In The Sky
notes: Paid attendance for the show was 298 (actual attendance probably 350-400) . . . I think this would have far exceeded the capacity of any place they had played (as headliners) prior to that. REM were paid $680 for that show (far more than they had ever been paid before I'm sure) and rider expenses were $10 (not counting room and board at my house) - Keith Stern

7 August 1982 - Club Foote, Austin, TX
supporting: The Motels
notes: Peter apparently was not too fond of the headlining act - "Boy, did I hate them. They were so rude to us. They made us move our drums closer to the front of the stage so we couldn't move. The cymbals kept hitting me in the back all night long. We just cooked, walked off stage and said, 'Follow that!'" - from It Crawled From The South (Marcus Gray, first edition, pg. 46)

10 September 1982 - Country Club, Reseda, CA
support: The Untouchables
supporting: The English Beat
notes: Following the upbeat Untouchables, R.E.M. came on and played some weird slow psychadelic music. The boos started by the 2nd song, when the crowd realized it wasn't just an opener, it was the act itself, and Michael Stipe was onstage acting rather gay. At first it was boos, but then in the third song it started with cups of beer and then various small objects were thrown at Stipe on the stage, with some striking him square on the cheek. Ouch! R.E.M. quickly left the stage, and shortly thereafter The English Beat came on and restored dance music to the hall

September 1982 - The Drumstick, Lincoln, NE
support: Let's Active
notes: While not sure of the exact date, it is thought this show is close to the Minneapolis show below.
From the Q magazine R.E.M. special (pg. 118): "'You would logically think it was a real hip, trendy club', says Berry, 'but you get there and it's a fried chicken restaurant. No stage. You do a soundcheck and there are families eating, and they're putting hot dog buns in their ears so they don't hear you'".
From Robert J Crisler: "The Drumstick was an interesting place. I remember when I was a kid, staying over at a friend's house, going to Mass the next day, and celebrating afterward with a pattie melt at the Drumstick when it was purely a chicken restaurant. The Lohmeiers had a kid, Tim, with stars in his eyes and a beer in his fist. He grew up, commandeered the place in the night hours, used the other definition of the name, and proceeded to make local history. Everyone who was anyone went through there. X, the Feelies, REM, Dwight Yoakam when he was too authentic for Nashville. The building was razed and replaced with a McDonald's around 1991. As Mills says, you might have thought it was hip and trendy, and it was, in a way ... the place was real and gritty in a way that kept the brainless at a distance. It didn’t have a stage, just a six-inch riser that was sort of a stage, set against the glass at the front of the restaurant. The place was done up in old brown drapes and wagon wheel chandeliers.
The best years of my life were spent in a chicken shack. I can only hope for more undiscovered chicken shacks."

Berry, Buck and Mills joined Holsapple for 'Neverland' at the end of his set. Mitch Easter joins R.E.M. for several songs during their set.
This show can be found on the CD bootleg "Rave On", minus Gloria. The entire show was filmed by a local cable channel (presumably where the audio for the bootleg comes from), and an edited dvd of the show has now appeared on the trading circuit
