encore 1: Boy (Go) / Second Guessing / (Don't Go Back To) Rockville / 1,000,000
encore 2: Medicine Show / Theme From Two Steps Onward / Windout
notes: Just before Rave On, Auctioneer was aborted as Bill leaves the kit (you can hear the sticks go down) to go use the bathroom. There were a lot of requests for Moon River, Stipe sang about half a note then said he didn't want to do it, he also tried another song, sang a few words, stopped and said "Nah thats too easy". The intro to 'Windout' was the usual intro they used on the 1985 shows, "Amen brother ben shot the rooster killed the hen".
There is some confusion about a song called 'Guns For Punishment' at the start of encore 2, apparently it is Mike Mills saying 'you're gluttons for punishment' after numerous requests were shouted out, before they played Medicine Show

encore 3: Carnival Of Sorts (Boxcars)
notes: After heckling during Moon River in which Mike Mills has to be restrained from attacking an audience member, R.E.M. decide they'll play cover songs for the rest of the night. This is how it went:
Stipe is in the middle of singing Moon River...
audience member: "fuck off!"
Mills: "You come up here and..."
Stipe: "I can see you..."
Mills: "Come on! Come on! Come up here and say it"
(audience cheers and claps)
Stipe: "Are you blushing yet? You feeling stupid?"
Mills: "Easy for you from down there isn't it, come on up here and say it"
Then later on after 1,000,000...
Buck: "The guy who yelled 'fuck you' during Moon River meet me backstage you asshole"
After a shocking version of Sweet Home Alabama in which Stipe sings that he can't remember the 2nd verse...
Stipe: "Guitar players can't sing for shit!"
Buck: "Singers can't play guitar for shit either"
This show would have to be one of the most unusual and memorable R.E.M. shows of all time, the amount of cover versions and the fact they were ready to beat up an audience member (as well as the fact they must had a little too much to drink) all adds up to an incredible show.

support: 10,000 Maniacs
set included: Moon River
notes: The crowd was very rowdy, as it seems that as the band became more well-known, people who knew little of their music now started showing up and wanted to see whatever they perceived "new wave" to be. Michael kept shushing them during quieter moments, and finally had enough. He picked up the mike stand and walked to the curtains in the back and started singing "Moon River". Some people got it, others were stunned into silence, but after that, people behaved.

notes: Jason from Jason and the Scorchers guests on (Don't Go Back To) Rockville and Broken Whiskey Glass.
'During the encore, when Jason from Jason and the Scorchers was on stage, Michael Stipe went back to Bill Berry's drum set, picked up a beer bottle (looked like a Michelob) and poured the contents on Berry's head. Berry stood up, reached over the drum kit and grabbed Stipe by the collar or throat while Stipe grabbed Berry. Jason had to pull them apart. I remember he said in his twangy accent, "Come on boys! Settle down now."
Then after the concert, when most of the crowd had left, Berry ran back out on stage, grabbed a microphone and yelled "Fuck Michael!". Stipe came running out of the wings and tackled Berry and they rolled around on the floor of the stage for a minute while a couple of roadies tried to pull them apart. Order was soon restored. It was very surreal to say the least.' - Scott Martin

set: These Days / The One I Love / Superman / Underneath The Bunker (instrumental) / After Hours
notes: When Stipe and Mills attempted switching microphones for Superman, Stipe somehow hopelessly tangled the two microphone cords.

26 September 1986 - Greek Theatre, University of California, Berkeley, CA
notes: Everyone went to the show, it was raining on and off, not heavy. The place was filled. No cancellation had been announced, but the rain was enough of a problem that the show did not happen. It was postponed after the band all walked out on stage and told the crowd it was too dangerous to perform. They apologized and promised the show would be made up. The 1st October date at the Coliseum Arena was this "make up" show

notes: Towards the end of the show Stipe confronts an annoying Nazi supporter. Both Feeling Gravitys Pull and Gardening At Night were cut short because the audience was getting out of hand. I think it was one guy who was being a jerk, and it sounds like he got kicked out. After 1,000,000, Stipe does some a capella that includes what will be lyrics from Finest Worksong and King of Birds

notes: Because of a leaky roof at some point in the day or two before the gig the event organizers were concerned about water damage to the auditorium floor. For this reason a large, square section of the floor directly in front of the centre of the stage was sectioned off. This meant that the crowd couldn't get very close to the band for most of the show. Luckily near the end Michael took his chances and jumped down (with a long mike cord) and sang the last few songs right up next to the audience on the floor at floor level

notes: A guy in the crowd jumped up on stage during Seven Chinese Brothers and tried to grab Peter's guitar. Unsuccessful, he jumped back into the crowd. Peter tore off his guitar and jumped in after him. Mike and Michael then yelled at the guy from the stage as Peter tried to find him. Mike: "If anybody sees that guy, grab him and bring him backstage after the show." Michael: "So the Republicans won in this state, huh?" (incorrect, but funny nonetheless) After a few minutes, Peter made his way back on stage and the crowd cheered. After he re-tuned his guitar, they started Femme Fatale - Tucker Cawley

notes: Stand is introduced by Stipe as "The dumbest song I've ever heard on the radio". Stipe also takes the time in between songs sometime in the middle of the show to scold an audience member in the front row for trying to take pictures surreptitiously. He gives a little lecture about how he gets tired of people who do that sort of thing instead of simply enjoying the show (apparently the person was the only one in the front row sitting down throughout the entire show - sitting down so they could hide their camera and sneak pictures)
