review: This was a great show. They played in the War Memorial Auditorium (where the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra normally plays) so the acoustics were great. The band wasn't big enough yet to play the main Coliseum I guess. The encore numbers of Ghost Riders In The Sky and Carnival Of Sorts still stick out in my mind as highlights of the show - Tom Ivey28 July 1984 - Fox Theater, Atlanta, GA

notes: Venue originally listed just as 'Numbers', but the original had closed down and 'Numbers 2' opened in its place. Michael Stipe was wearing a sport coat over and a colored T-shirt. Mike Mills mentioned at some point that when they came to play Houston in support of Murmur the previous year, they arrived in Houston to find the club they were scheduled to play that night closed and was out of business.
Before Pretty Persuasion, Stipe mentioned how drunk he was after they finished this song. During the song he had some kind of sticker or badge of some sort - and he tried to stick it on his sleeve while he was singing "put that on your sleeve" (he was unsuccessful because the sticker had lost its stick - not because he was too drunk)
The second encore was with the guitarist of the db's (the more famous guitarist who sang with the db's). They played a couple songs, ending with Boxcars. There was someone in the back of the room who kept yelling "Boxcars" every once in a while throughout the entire show, but he was the only person who yelled out a request at all. It seemed that Mike Mills talked the rest of the band into playing Boxcars for the last song (obviously in deference to the guy in the back of the crowd), and it was obvious that the db's guy was watching Peter Buck to see the chords played.20 September 1984 - Hot Springs, AR

set included: Moon River / We Walk / Carnival Of Sorts (Boxcars)
notes: The venue had ramps that led up from the audience to the stage, and the crowd kept edging up it until 10-50 people were on stage with the band, and at one point a security guard was getting too rough with a girl in the crowd (the hassle had been going on between the crowd and security for a while) and the guitar drops out of the mix as Peter dashes over to the other side of the stage to push the security man away. Then the crowd roared it's approval. Then, as more and more fans were emboldened to take the stage, two small kids were in danger of getting squashed, and Mike pulled them out and up onto their side of the microphones, (all this during "We Walk") and got them to sing "up, up, up, up" in the fade out. Then someone got them some posters, and asked what they wanted to hear, and the band responded with a final encore of Carnival Of Sorts22 September 1984 - Foster Auditorium, University Of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL

encore 1: Moon River [twice] / Carnival Of Sorts (Boxcars) / Little America
encore 2: Moral Kiosk / Talk About The Passion / Sitting Still / Pretty Persuasion
notes: Moon River is done twice. At the end of the first time (with one word left in the song) someone screams out "Fuck you!" to which Stipe yells back "If you don't like it, you can leave!". He and Mike immediately start over from the beginning. The same guy yells the same remark at the start of the second encore which Stipe replies curtly, "Fuck you, too!". There is another story that the fan was actually shouting, 'Fuck, YEAH!' in appreciation. Apparently the fan actually wrote a letter to the editor of one of the local papers hoping to clarify the incident.
