‘Once you go Mac, you don’t go back’ - REM’s Michael Stipe
REM played a storming set at Apple’s Regent Street store last night, mixing new tracks taken from current album, Accelerate with a selection of classic songs.
Frontman Michael Stipe used the event - which marked the third year anniversary of Apple’s ‘Live From London’ series - to reach out to his fans, talking to the 450 people gathered for the exclusive invite-only gig as if they were friends gathered in his front room.
“Playing in this space with this narrow stage and low ceilings reminds us of the places we used to play in the early ’80’s,” the singer admitted.
Stipe also admitted to being excited to be playing at Apple’s biggest retail outlet, saying, “I have a bit of an eye-boner on this, because I’m a bit of a Mac fan… once you go Mac, you don’t go back,” he told the crowd.
