Road Movie (video)

Road Movie is a documentary-style film by rock group R.E.M., released on both VHS and DVD, charting the conclusion of the band's 1995 worldwide tour in support of Monster, their album released the previous year. Directed by Peter Care, the ninety-minute-long footage features nineteen songs performed over the final three nights of the tour, at The Omni in Atlanta, Georgia. The set-list reads very much like a complete R.E.M. show—gigs on the Monster tour were opened by either "I Took Your Name" or "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?", while the last song of the night was invariably "It's the End of the World as We Know It ". The film is a companion piece to the Tourfilm documentary, which chronicles the band's 1989 tour on the back of the previous year's album Green.

During the performance of "Let Me In", Mike Mills plays Kurt Cobain's guitar (upside down because Cobain was left-handed). Aside from the members of R.E.M., the video also features guest musicians Nathan December, Scott McCaughey, and Australian violinist Amanda Brown. Brown joins the band for "Losing My Religion", "Binky the Doormat", "Strange Currencies", "Find the River" and "Everybody Hurts". For those fans who were unable to make it to any of the dates, it gives an example of the structure of the live show. The piece spotlights filmic backdrops by artists such as James Herbert, Jem Cohen, Jim McKay, Dominic DeJoseph and Lance Bangs. It has also been released in DVD format. The movie was debuted at the 50th Edinburgh International Film Festival in . The following month, during outside listening parties in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York, preview showings were projected onto buildings three stories high. In 2001, to coincide with the release of Reveal, a three-video box set comprising Tourfilm, Parallel and Road Movie was released in the UK. (This Film Is On replaced Road Movie in the DVD-format release.) The 25th anniversary deluxe edition of Monster, released in 2019, contains Road Movie in Blu-ray format. The video image and sound is degraded: the video is passed through a strong denoise filter and degraded to 30 progressive frames and stereo 2.0 sound is passed through a compressor. ==Personnel==
