On Thursday, Feb. 27 at the 40 Watt Club in R.E.M.’s hometown of Athens, Ga., Shannon and Narducy dug deep into the R.E.M. catalog to perform “Pretty Persuasion,” from the 1984 album Reckoning, and some special guests jumped on stage to join in the performance.
R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe dueted with Shannon on the song about sexual confusion while R.E.M.’s Peter Buck played guitar. Mid-song, bassist Mike Mills jumped on stage to lend some backing vocals while drummer Bill Berry soon followed on tambourine.
It’s only the second time that all four members of the iconic band have performed on stage together since disbanding in 2011. Last year, the group made a surprise appearance performing their 1991 hit “Losing My Religion” to celebrate their induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
At Shannon and Narducy’s previous appearance in Athens, Ga. in 2024, Buck, Mills and Berry performed with the band at various times, and Stipe appeared on stage to thank the band, but he did not sing with the group that night.
