R.E.M..
R.E.M. made their debut on Mountain Stage on April 28 1991, in the midst of their promotion for their mainstream-breakthrough album, Out of Time, which was released the previous month.
The show was taped before a live audience at the home of Mountain Stage, then named the Cultural Center Auditorium in Charleston, West Virginia.
R.E.M. appeared alongside Robyn Hitchcock, Billy Bragg (whom R.E.M. joined for a few songs and vice-versa) and Clive Gregson and Christine Collister. They were augmented by their unofficial fifth member, Peter Holsapple.
In the US, the performance of “Belong” was included as a B-side on one of R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts” 12? singles as well as one of the two CD releases. “Losing My Religion” was on another 12? single and also on the other CD release.
In the UK, “World Leader Pretend”, “Belong” and “Low” were included as B-sides on the 12? and CD versions of R.E.M.’s “Nightswimming” single. “Losing My Religion” was released on the 7?.
The first two sets were broadcast nationally; the third was broadcast on local radio only.
Prior to the re-take of “Radio Song”, the governor of Charleston, William Gaston Caperton III, declared April 28 as “R.E.M. Day” in recognition of the band’s support of public radio on both a local and national level.
