The Big Mates provide incendiary and probably life-changing audio commentary for Tourfilm, the first live video release by R.E.M.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas discuss the film as originally presented on VHS/Laserdisc compilation and also dig into how it was made, how R.E.M. have progressed as a live band, and explore the whole 1989 Green World Tour.

Dig out those official DVDs to watch along...
Or don't - the episode works fine either way!
