This was part of the Monster album tour, although the album had been out for awhile. Concerts given by R.E.M. in the mid 1990s were incredible and legendary. Friends of mine saw them more times than I did and I got the raves from them about some of the shows. At this show I remember Mike Mills wearing a "Nudie" suit (a rhinestone-studded bodysuit designed by Nudie Cohen, similar to those worn by Elvis Presley and which were also at times worn on stage by Jerry Garcia and by Keith Richards).
