R.E.M./Modest Mouse/The National @ the Mann Center - 6/18/08
Setlists! Video! Eddie Vedder and Johnny Marr!
(Sorry, I missed the National’s set, and I’m not sure where to find the setlist online…)
R.E.M. set list (with some commentary):
These Days
Living Well is the Best Revenge
What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?
Wolves, Lower (second time played on this tour…the band has been mixing in 4 of the 5 Chronic Town classics…)
Man-Sized Wreath
Turn You Inside-Out (first appearance from the second-hardest rocker on Green)
Imitation of Life
Staring Down the Barrel of the Middle Distance (unreleased song! It was played during the Dublin rehersal gigs last summer and possibly recorded for Accelerate, but didn’t make the cut…this was the first outing of it since then.)
Ignoreland (staple of the entire North American tour, after not having been played EVER, despite dating back to Automatic For The People)
Bad Day
Hollow Man
The Great Beyond
Houston
Electrolite
Walk Unafraid
The One I Love
Find the River
Let Me In (another ‘08 tour staple, totally redone as a campfire elegy instead of the mournful feedbacky song it originated as on Monster)
Departure
Life and How to Live It
Orange Crush
I’m Gonna DJ
encore:
Supernatural Superserious
Losing My Religion
Begin the Begin (with Eddie Vedder!! I had theorized for weeks that he’d make a cameo, since Pearl Jam play Camden tonight & tomorrow and the bands are longtime friends. Apparently all of PJ was in the house, Eddie came out in disguise with glasses and a baseball hat and danced around like a happy fool when not rocking out.)
Fall on Me (with Johnny Marr…he started joining the band for the end of the encore about halfway through the tour)
Man on the Moon (with Johnny Marr)
Modest Mouse set list:
The View
Satin In A Coffin
Dance Hall
Fire It Up
Dashboard
Bukowski
Trucker’s Atlas
Here It Comes
We’ve Got Everything
Paper Thin Walls
Spitting Venom
> I Came As A Rat
And as a bonus, some video of Vedder on stage during “Begin the Begin” (after the jump):
(shot by loyal Y-Rock listener Dave Mooney…audio isn’t as distored but it’s only a minute of the song)
(shot from the front row! Almost the whole song…)

My husband and I brought our 4 teenagers to the show last, building it up for weeks. It exceeded all of our expectations. We were close, which made a difference. I was swept away the entire show. I love how they went way back to older albums, mixed with the new one. Amazing energy, I’m still on a totally sober REM high. The crowd was way cool and civilized, espcially having seen Dave Matthews several weeks ago. I really felt priviledged to be there last night and to watch my kids experience their first REM show. That’s all we can talk about today!! So cool!!!

Compare this setlist, with the one from Atlanta!!! If they would’ve played “Harbourcoat” or “Don’t Go Back to Rockville” at the Philly show, I would’ve been happy as hell. I guess they read the Philly reviews and added some more good ole’ songs to their show.
