About This Event
Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy, along with special guests, will perform R.E.M.'s album "Lifes Rich Pageant" at Brooklyn Steel.
About Lifes Rich Pageant(album)
Released in 1986, R.E.M.’s *Lifes Rich Pageant* marked a shift toward a cleaner, more forceful studio sound under producer Don Gehman, without abandoning the band’s political unease and Southern-gothic drift. The songs circle American power, private doubt, and public language, with guitars pushed forward and the words made harder to ignore. At Brooklyn Steel, Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy lead a stage performance of the album with rotating guests and friends. In New York, where R.E.M. long moved between clubs, radio, and college-rock networks, the record reads as a document of alternative music stepping into wider view.
