  In January 1998, R.E.M. performed "Country Feedback" on the British music show hosted by Jools Holland, showcasing a pivotal moment in their career as they were transitioning from their earlier work to a new era. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their album "New Adventures in Hi-Fi," which came out in September 1996. "New Adventures in Hi-Fi" was significant as it marked a departure from their previous work, embracing a more diverse sound influenced by their experiences on tour. This live rendition of "Country Feedback," a track originally from their 1991 album "Out of Time," highlights the band's ability to reinterpret their older material in a fresh light. R.E.M. was also known for their innovative use of multimedia in performances, and their willingness to explore new musical directions reflects their enduring impact on the alternative rock scene.
