The Big Mates provide fun and cool audio commentary for R.E.M. Live, the live video release by R.E.M.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas discuss the live album and film as originally presented on CD and DVD and also dig into how it was made, how R.E.M. performed the songs from Around the Sun, and explore the whole 2005 World Tour.

Dig out those official DVDs to watch along...
