From the ‘Out Of Time’ period, the forever fraught ‘Country Feedback’ makes for a 2001 highlight – it’s said to be Stipe’s personal favourite from his band’s catalogue. Perhaps surprisingly there’s no ‘Everybody Hurts’, and only one ‘Automatic For The People’ number makes an appearance, ‘Find The River’.
Frontman Michael Stipe’s voice has deepened a little in the intervening years, which makes for a sharper take on ‘Losing My Religion’, the only song to appear in both sets. Listen to Unplugged 1991/2001: The Complete Sessions on Spotify. ‘Perfect Circle’, even 31 years since its release on debut album ‘Murmur’ ( Spotlight feature) and exclusively acoustically framed, retains every moment of its quiet power.Ģ001’s set includes the gorgeous ‘Daysleeper’ and ‘At My Most Beautiful’, both from 1998’s sometimes underappreciated ‘Up’ LP. But there’s space, too, for some older, some might say more affecting cuts.
