The Minus Five concert last week at The Ruins featured guitarist Peter Buck, 62, of R.E.M fame. The band — with lead singer Scott McCaughey and music friends Casey Neil and Jenny Conlee — played originals from a new album called “Stroke Manor,” and a few covers, but nothing from the 15 album R.E.M back-catalog.
