Sunday night’s sell-out crowd at the Olympia was witness to another scintillating set from R.E.M. as the band worked their way through 11 new songs including closer “I’m Gonna DJ” as well as such classics as “Wolves, Lower,” “Sitting Still,” “These Days,” “Heron House,” “Second Guessing,” and “Electrolite.”
Support was from Corckonian Simple Kid whose opening set warmed the house to a suitable temperature.
R.E.M’s working rehearsal will resume on Tuesday night after the band takes advantage of a day off in Dublin.
