The band kicked off its rehearsals in Dublin in electrifying form to a packed, spirited sellout crowd tonight at the Olympia Theatre. The set tipped heavily in the direction of brand new songs, ten in all, but also featured a selection of classics including “Second Guessing,” “Letter Never Sent,” “Maps and Legends,” “1,000,000,” and “Little America.”
R.E.M. will play night two of their five-night stand in Dublin tomorrow with support from Simple Kid.
