HITCHCOCK} (RADIO)
Summary
One in a series of eclectic live radio music programs. Broadcast from the Cultural Center Auditorium in Charleston, West Virginia, this program features the following musical highlights: gnomic southern rockers R.E.M. (in one of only two live performances to promote their 1991 album "Out of Time") perform "Radio Song," "Fall on Me," "It's the End of the World As We Know It (and I Feel Fine)," and "Belong," among others; host Larry Groce performs Bob Dylan's "Positively Fourth Street"; the Fabulous Twister Sisters perform "All You Ever Think About Is You"; Marxist crooner Billy Bragg performs "The Marching Song of the Covert Battalions" and "Tank Park Salute," among others; Bob Thompson, accompanied by the Mountain Stage Band, performs "Brother's Keeper"; and wry, aphoristic musician Robyn Hitchcock performs several songs. The guests gather at the end of the program for a sing-along. This program was broadcast over BBC Radio-1.
