Two months ago, R.E.M. revealed they would be releasing their first-ever live CD/DVD combo, titled simply R.E.M. Live. The twenty-two tracks recorded at Dublin’s Point Theatre on February 27, 2005, highlight the band’s career, from “Man on the Moon” to “The One I Love” and “Cuyahoga,” including a never-before-released track, “I’m Gonna DJ.” The package hits stores next Tuesday, but you can stream the whole album on Rhapsody right now. R.E.M. are also slated to premiere another previously unheard track, “Until the Day Is Done,” tonight on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, Billboard reports (we’re just as baffled by that development as you are). Though nothing has been confirmed, folks are guessing the song is from the band’s forthcoming album, expected in stores next spring.
