Video: R.E.M. To Release ‘I Want My R.E.M.TV’ in November; Watch ‘Everybody Hurts’ and ‘Drive’ Live from 1993

R.E.M. will release on November 24 a 6-DVD set that features all of the group’s live performances on MTV dating back to 1991 – plus lots of outtakes.

I’m an R.E.M. fan from way back, you know, “Radio Free Europe” days.

While I never cared much for MTV, I was always glad to see R.E.M. videos there, and they gave R.E.M. a lot of coverage.

So it’s very cool that, finally, all of MTV’s R.E.M. coverage will be available. So much good stuff!!!

Check out two live performances — “Everybody Hurts” and “Drive” — from the 1993 MTV Video Awards.

The set will also include a brand new documentary, “R.E.M. By MTV,” put together by MTV using archival footage. According to R.E.M.’s website, “Drawing exclusively on archival events, the film traces R.E.M. and MTV in real time, which makes it feel as exciting and immediate as it did when it was happening.”

This is what’s in the set:
