REM: Tourfilm(Film, 1990)

Tourfilm (1990) is a documentary-style concert film by American rock band R.E.M. The film chronicles the band's 1989 Green tour of North America. Produced by frontman Michael Stipe and director Jim McKay, the black-and-white film features aspects of avant-garde and experimental filmmaking, including handheld camera shots and stock footage. Unlike most films of its genre, Tourfilm is noticeably devoid of standard rock movie staples such as backstage footage and interviews with band members. The film was released on LaserDisc and VHS in 1990 and DVD in August 2000. All the audio for Tourfilm comes from the R.E.M.'s show at Greensboro Coliseum on November 10, 1989, though it also includes brief video footage from four other tour stops: November 7, 1989 – Roanoke Civic Center, Roanoke, VANovember 8, 1989 – Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VANovember 11, 1989 – Macon Coliseum, Macon, GANovember 13, 1989 – Fox Theatre, Atlanta, GA ()
