Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy and Friends play R.E.M.???s Lifes Rich Pageant
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 clearer, harder-edged sound, shaped by producer Don Gehman and a move away from the band’s earlier murk. Its songs track American anxiety in plain sight—labor, faith, media noise—without turning into slogans, which helps explain its long afterlife on stages far from its recording sessions. At Brooklyn Steel, actors and musicians Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy, joined by friends and special guests, perform the album as a play-like concert. This is presented as a New York engagement rather than a documented NYC premiere.
