Tourfilm
''Tourfilm'' (1990) is a Documentary film, documentary-style concert film by American rock band R.E.M. The film chronicles the band's 1989 ''Green (R.E.M. album), Green'' tour of North America. Produced by frontman Michael Stipe and director Jim McKay (director), Jim McKay, the black-and-white film features aspects of avant-garde and experimental filmmaking, including handheld camera shots and filmstock, stock footage. Unlike most films of its genre, ''Tourfilm'' is noticeably devoid of standard rock movie staples such as backstage footage and interviews with band members. The film was released on LaserDisc and VHS in 1990 and DVD in August 2000. All the audio for ''Tourfilm'' comes from the R.E.M.'s show at Greensboro Coliseum on November 10, 1989, though it also includes brief video footage from four other tour stops: * November 7, 1989 – Berglund Center, Roanoke Civic Center, Roanoke, VA * November 8, 1989 – Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA * November 11, 1989 †...

Road Movie (video)
''Road Movie'' is a documentary-style film by rock group R.E.M. (band), R.E.M., released on both VHS and DVD, charting the conclusion of the band's 1995 worldwide tour in support of ''Monster (R.E.M. album), Monster'', their album released the previous year. Directed by Peter Care, the ninety-minute-long footage features nineteen songs (all but one a montage) performed over the final three nights (November 18, 19 and 21) of the tour, at The Omni in Atlanta, Georgia, Atlanta, Georgia (U.S. state), Georgia. The set-list reads very much like a complete R.E.M. show—gigs on the ''Monster'' tour were opened by either "I Took Your Name" or "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" (with the former taking precedence in this case), while the last song of the night was invariably "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" (as it is here). The film is a companion piece to the ''Tourfilm'' documentary (with a synonymous title), which chronicles the band's 1989 tour on the back of the ...

The 35-minute release features promotional videos to all of the band's singles and several album-only tracks from ''Document'' and ''Green''. It also includes the video for "Talk About The Passion" from '' Murmur''. This particular video was made to promote the compilation '' Eponymous'' which was released between ''Document'' and ''Green'', and this is the reason for its otherwise anachronistic inclusion. It includes the uncensored version of "Pop Song 89," which has three topless women dancing along with a topless Michael Stipe. In preparation for television airings, MTV asked Stipe, who directed it himself, to censor the three topless women. Instead, Stipe superimposed black bars on the chests of all four dancers, himself included, and st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jon King
Jonathan Michael King (born 8 June 1955) is an English musician, songwriter, and Grammy nominated Art Director in the post-punk band Gang of Four.
