I don't *think* this has been posted before, but not only is Peter with a 12-string 360, but there's bass action too!

Weird to see Stipe with hair.

So. Central Rain used to be one of my favourite songs to play live - when I used to get out, that is. Looks like they're performing that song before they composed the well-known 12-string intro.

If you find the "Crush With Eyeliner" video, you can see a Green Glo 360OS RIC. If you have iTunes, you can see a snippet of the video and of the guitar.

I love that guitar!! Post the link Johnny!

I'm thinking of getting a second V64 and having it refinished...

That's not a 12-string in the Letterman performance. Pete always plays it down low, don't he? I have that whole performance on VHS, they also do a mean Radio Free Europe, which was better than this version of so. central. My possession of a 360JG is purely Peter's influence. What a great guitar !

You're right Steve - definitely a 6. How embarrassing.

Anyway, anyone found the greenglo clip yet?

Awesome video, I loved it! That early-mid-80's REM sound is unbeatable. Thanks.

Rob, if you have access to iTunes, you can find it there. If not, i may have to spend $1.99 to buy the video and uplaod it to you.tube.com!

Then what you waiting for John? Loosen the purse strings!

Only joking mate - I'm going to ask a colleague to download it...

There was some type of story with that video from Late Night with David Letterman. First of all, it was a very new song for them, In fact when David asked, I think the response was "it's too new to have a name".

Anyway, Michael Stipe refused to speak with David that night. I forgot why, it'll come to me.

BTW, just to clarify, I'm referring to the South Central Rain video

Buck's guitar complete with Let's Active button!

Can anyone ID the Fender amp that Buck is using on the Letterman show?
