On
May 21, 2001, ten years and one month after their debut on
the show, R.E.M. returned to MTV Unplugged, and to date became
only the second artist to have appeared twice (10,000 Maniacs
being the first). Much had happened to the band in the decade
that had passed: five albums released, a second world tour
completed, a near-death experience, a manager fired, and a
drummer retired.
R.E.M. took to the stage at MTV's TRL Studio, with a backdrop
of New York City's Broadway and 45th Avenue, and soaked up
the applause as they assumed their positions: Mills on acoustic
bass to the left of the stage, Stipe seated at centre, and
Buck on acoustic guitar to the right. Hired hands Ken Stringfellow
sat behind the synthesizer, Joey Waronker (celebrating his
32nd birthday) behind the drums and percussion on a raised
platform behind Stipe, and the bearded Scott McCaughey stood
at the xylophone for the opening song, "All the Way to Reno
(You're Gonna Be a Star)", which was to be R.E.M.'s second
single from Reveal. Six songs from said album were performed.
