not familar with either....but thanks for the recs
concerts in college were pretty cool ....saw REM play in one of the university gyms right when their first EP came out and before Murmer....I remember Stipe having long shaggy hair, always looking down and mumbling the lyrics.
In one of the auditoriums that housed large lectures I remember seeing U2, Psychedlic Furs, Pretenders and the Grateful Dead all playing gigs there at different times during one semester
