REM - Hyde Park, London
Two weeks ago, REM were planning their
huge Hyde Park gig to be the climax to
their mammoth Around The Sun world touq
But the bomb attacks in the capital -
causing a week's postponement - meant
this gathering of 80,000 people was
going to mean more.
The band behind Everybody Hurts and
Walk Unafraid seemed suited to a city
wounded but defiant.
Throughout the evening, this context
was impossible to escape - although no
direct reference to it was made.
