notes: When Stipe and Mills attempted switching microphones for Superman, Stipe somehow hopelessly tangled the two microphone cords. A roadie had to come onstage and untangle the microphones while Stipe stood motionless with one hand supporting his chin and the other arm across his chest supporting the chin arm. During this time the rest of the band decided to play Underneath The Bunker (sans Stipe)19 September 1986 - Southern Star Amphitheater, Houston, TX

notes: Before the show Stipe comes out and says the following: "A couple of times last year on our tour we had to stop the shows because people in the floor up front were pushing too much and getting hurt. I would like to make the request, I would like to make the request before we come on stage that everyone please try to be civil tonight so that we don't have to stop playing, especially the people directly in front of the stage, I mean what I say and I don't want to have to stop the show, if we see anything going on from stage were not gonna send security guards out to stop it because they'll beat your face in, were just gonna stop playing and walk off, so try to maintain some peace alright, we'll be on in a little bit, try to back off some, thanks"22 September 1986 - Pan American Center, Las Cruces, NM

notes: Everyone went to the show, it was raining on and off, not heavy. The place was filled. No cancellation had been announced, but the rain was enough of a problem that the show did not happen. It was postponed after the band all walked out on stage and told the crowd it was too dangerous to perform. They apologized and promised the show would be made up. The 1st October date at the Coliseum Arena was this "make up" show27 September 1986 - County Bowl, Santa Barbara, CA

notes: Towards the end of the show Stipe confronts an annoying Nazi supporter. Both Feeling Gravitys Pull and Gardening At Night were cut short because the audience was getting out of hand. I think it was one guy who was being a jerk, and it sounds like he got kicked out. After 1,000,000, Stipe does some a capella that includes what will be lyrics from Finest Worksong and King of Birds30 September 1986 - Universal Amphitheater, Universal City, CA

notes: Because of a leaky roof at some point in the day or two before the gig the event organizers were concerned about water damage to the auditorium floor. For this reason a large, square section of the floor directly in front of the centre of the stage was sectioned off. This meant that the crowd couldn't get very close to the band for most of the show. Luckily near the end Michael took his chances and jumped down (with a long mike cord) and sang the last few songs right up next to the audience on the floor at floor level7 October 1986 - State Fairgrounds Coliseum, Salt Lake City, UT

notes: One of the few shows REM that ended early - after many repeated attempts to get the crowd not to crush the stage ("Simon says take two steps back"), a girl who has fainted is lifted over the barricade, prompting a very upset Stipe to run through "Femme Fatale" and then the band leaves the stage7 November 1986 - Felt Forum, New York, NY

Central Rain
notes: A guy in the crowd jumped up on stage during Seven Chinese Brothers and tried to grab Peter's guitar. Unsuccessful, he jumped back into the crowd. Peter tore off his guitar and jumped in after him. Mike and Michael then yelled at the guy from the stage as Peter tried to find him. Mike: "If anybody sees that guy, grab him and bring him backstage after the show." Michael: "So the Republicans won in this state, huh?" (incorrect, but funny nonetheless) After a few minutes, Peter made his way back on stage and the crowd cheered. After he re-tuned his guitar, they started Femme Fatale - Tucker Cawley12 November 1986 - Smith Center, George Washington University, Washington, DC

notes: Mitch Easter guests on We Walk and Funtime. Michael sings a snippet of a children's song 'Incy Wincy Spider' (Incy Wincy Spider crawled up the spout, along came the rain and washed the spider out...) before 'We walk' and again during the song. He appears however to be singing 'Ricky Ticky Spider' - maybe it was a regional variation, maybe Michael's just being weird25 November 1986 - Fox Theater, Atlanta, GA
