R.E.M.: Perfect Square
“R.E.M. performing 23 songs in Wiesbaden, Germany, on 2003-07-19.”
Synopsis
*Perfect Square* is a video recording of a concert by the rock band R.E.M., filmed on July 19, 2003, at the Bowling Green in Wiesbaden, Germany. It was released on DVD by Warner Brothers on March 9, 2004. The concert is perhaps most notable for a performance of the song "Country Feedback," which Michael Stipe introduces by calling it his "favorite song." The version includes appended lyrics from "Chorus and the Ring" from the album *Reveal*, as well as a guitar solo by Peter Buck, neither of which appear in the original recording. Other highlights of the concert include the appearance of two then-new songs, "Bad Day" (originally known as "PSA" when first written in the early 1980s) and "Animal," and the return of the long-unplayed song "Permanent Vacation." "Permanent Vacation" dates back to 1980, years before the band's first album, while "Bad Day" dates to 1985.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 9
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
