Yeah, R.E.M. got a little b&w picture of Peter Holsapple (of opening act The dBs), while Whitney Houston got two color pages in that Glom. That’s what music was like in the ’80s, kids. That R.E.M. show was good.
I still have a Poster I took while camping out for the show…
I experienced that R.E.M. tour at Cameron Indoor Stadium in October 1987: a life-changing event. It was still the 80′s, but the 90′s were coming on strong.

I was there with room mate in tow…my first REM show…
I’ve got a tape of R.E.M in Auburn. My oldest brother Pudd recorded it in 1987.
