ATHENS, Ga., Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Hokey staples like "The Chicken Dance" were tossed aside when the original R.E.M. lineup took over the Athens, Ga., wedding reception of a friend.
Saturday's impromptu seven-song set at Kingpins Bowl & Brew was only the second time Michael Stipe, Peter Buck and Mike Mills have performed with drummer Bill Berry since he left the band in 1997, Billboard.com reported Monday.
The band hired to entertain guests celebrating the wedding of R.E.M. guitar tech Dewitt Burton was taking a break when Stipe and crew started setting up unannounced, Kingpins owner Connolly told Billboard.com.
The alt-rock superstars treated the hometown crowd to a set of early tunes including "Don't Go Back to Rockville" with Mills on vocals, "Wolves, Lower," "Begin the Begin," "The One I Love," "Permanent Vacation" and "Radio Free Europe."
