Despite the fact that their shows have been the subjects of films like Tourfilm and Road Movie, R.E.M. have never released a live CD and DVD in combination. This will change on October 16 with the release of the bluntly titled R.E.M. LIVE CD/DVD.

Filmed by director Blue Leach, R.E.M. LIVE documents the band's performance at Dublin's Point Theatre on February 27, 2005 as part of a 116-date world tour that year.

The 22-song set features some of R.E.M.'s best songs, including "The One I Love", "Man on the Moon", "Everybody Hurts", "Cuyahoga", "Orange Crush", and "(Don't Go Back to) Rockville". Also included is a previously unreleased cut called "I'm Gonna DJ".

R.E.M. seem to be quite fond of Dublin lately. They're currently holed up there, recording a new album with producer Jacknife Lee. And their recently relaunched remdublin.com chronicles their time in the city.
