Drummer Bill Berry came together with members Michael Stipe, Peter Buck and Mike Mills for an original line-up reuninon.

It is Berry?s first shedualed show in eight years. In 2003, he made a surprise guest appearance after turning up to watch the band.

The special occasion took place this Saturday at the wedding for one of their roadies, technician Dewitt Burton.

The wedding reception, held at Kingpins Bowl and Brew in Athen, Georgia, was all ears to seven of REM?s hits.

“It was awesome to look behind me and see Bill on drums,” bass player Mills said afterwards.

Lead singer Stipe toasted the bride and groom during the set and invited requests from the 300 guests.

The bride requested “Begin The Begin” from the 1986 album “Life’s Rich Pageant.”
