Alabama songwriter Jason Isbell helped induct R.E.M. into Songwriters Hall of Fame.
A rock band that broke out of the ferment of the early ‘80s college-rock scene to become one of the biggest acts in the nation reunited Thursday for its first high-profile performance in well over a decade.
R.E.M.’s performance during the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony was the first public performance in 17 years that featured singer Michael Stipe, drummer Bill Berry, guitarist Peter Buck and bassist Mike Mills. The quartet played “Losing My Religion,” a 1991 single. Berry left the band in 1997 and the remaining trio disbanded in 2011. The full timeline is a bit more convoluted. In 2007, Berry joined the group as it was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, playingMore recently, in February, the foursome took to the stage of the 40 Watt Club in Athens, Ga., joining Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy, who were on a tour performing R.E.M.’s debut album “Murmur.
“We are lucky enough to have – I don’t really love the word – a legacy that we can leave in place and not mess up,” said Mills. “And you don’t get that opportunity but one time.”R.E.M. was formed in Athens, Ga., in 1980. Signature songs include “Radio Free Europe,” “Don’t Go Back to Rockville,” “Driver 8,” “Superman,” “It’s the End of the World As We Know It ” and “Nightswimming.”
