Video description

The night before their infamous cover set in Ottawa, Ontario, R.E.M. performed in Toronto at The Concert Hall (aka the Masonic temple) as part of their Reconstruction tour with a set containing almost as many cover songs as the next night. Admittedly, these covers are all fairly standard ones for the band as opposed to the goofing off in Ottawa, and it's intermixed with an excellent selection of songs mostly from Fables of the Reconstruction
