REM - By MTV

R.E.M. and MTV came of age together. From the start, their fates were intertwined with the band releasing its first single in July 1981, just weeks before the network premiered its first music video. From that point on, MTV documented everything about R.E.M. – their music, their stories, and ultimately their decision to disband in 2011. Drawing exclusively from archival events, the film traces R.E.M. and MTV in real time, which makes it feel as exciting and memorable and immediate as it did when it was happening.

The R.E.M. By MTV documentary is now available as a stand-alone DVD and on Blu Ray for the first time. The program includes the 111 minute documentary, as well as five deleted scenes featured on the REMTV box set and two trailers. It is also a great introductory piece for the REMTV box set with five seminal R.E.M. bonus performances pulled from the box.
