Peter Holsapple 1982

Nice clip of Peter playing with REM from The Pier in Raleigh from 1982. I assume this is from the tour where Peter did an opening acoustic set. Great clip.

Let history recall that R.E.M. was great, but greater still – by magnitudes of 100 - when Peter H. pitched in.

Re: Peter Holsapple 1982

I'm a dB's, Holsapple, Stamey, Mavericks, L'll Diesel, etc. fan and a fan of earlier R.E.M. For me nothing beats the thrill and r&r immediacy of the first three recordings. As far as R.E.M.'s songwriting goes however it was at it's best when PH was involved. Hope I'm not scratching at old wounds but does anyone know if the songwriting credit issues were ever resolved in a satisfactory way? Point me to an article, etc? Think I'll throw on Out of Time and listen for the PH Factor. BTW. The critics are right about Accelerate.

dB's rule.
