R.E.M. reunited with founding member Bill Berry over the weekend for just the second time since he left the band in 1997. The four original members were all in attendance at the Athens, GA wedding of R.E.M. guitar tech Dewitt Burton, and in front of a few hundred guests, performed a short set at the reception.The reception was held at a local bowling alley, with the band performing a seven-song set of tunes from the early part of their career, at one point taking a request from the bride. Bassist Mike Mills told remhq.com, "It was awesome to look behind me and see Bill on drums."
Berry last performed with R.E.M. in a surprise cameo appearance at their 2003 show in Raleigh, NC.
