In the U.S., R.E.M. came to attention in the early `80’s and developed a fanbase around the band’s relentless touring schedule and college radio airplay – a uniquely American network of local radio stations playing “alternative” music. The band’s emergence in Europe also stemmed around their live forays in England, France, the Netherlands and Germany starting in ’83. From this time, the BBC embraced the band – not only with airplay, but also with interviews, TV appearances and in-studio sessions

R.E.M. is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and influential bands in alternative rock history. With their unique blend of jangly guitars, introspective lyrics, and Michael Stipe’s enigmatic vocals, they have left an indelible mark on the music world.
One of the band’s most beloved periods was their time spent recording and performing at the BBC. From early radio sessions to later live performances, R.E.M. always delivered stellar performances that showcased their incredible musicianship and songwriting prowess.
Here are some of the best moments of R.E.M. at the BBC:
1. John Peel Sessions (1984): R.E.M. recorded two sessions for legendary DJ John Peel in 1984, showcasing songs from their early albums “Murmur” and “Reckoning.” Tracks like “So. Central Rain” and “Harborcoat” sound even more raw and energetic in these stripped-down sessions.
2. Glastonbury Festival (1999): R.E.M. headlined the iconic Glastonbury Festival in 1999, delivering a career-spanning set that included hits like “Losing My Religion,” “Man on the Moon,” and “Everybody Hurts.” The band’s performance was hailed as one of the best in the festival’s history.
3. Later… with Jools Holland (2001): R.E.M. made several appearances on the BBC music show “Later… with Jools Holland,” performing both new songs and classic hits. Their performances of tracks like “Imitation of Life” and “The Great Beyond” showcased their enduring appeal and relevance.
4. Live Lounge (2008): R.E.M. visited the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge in 2008, delivering a stunning acoustic performance of their hit song “Supernatural Superserious.” The stripped-down arrangement allowed the band’s musicianship and Stipe’s vocals to shine.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of R.E.M. or a newcomer looking to discover their music, their performances at the BBC are essential listening. From early radio sessions to later live performances, these recordings capture the magic and brilliance of one of the greatest bands in rock history.
