Below is the legendary Ryman Auditorium (yes the one that housed the Grand Ole Opry for so many years!)

Inside the auditorium, which has amazing acoustics…

Well what do we have here? I stopped dead in my tracks, of course I had to take a photo of my favorite boys…R.E.M. !!! (I tried to get a poster later at Hatch Show Print, where they make these posters, but couldn’t find one!)
