  On April 14, 2007, R.E.M. was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a significant recognition of their impact on alternative rock and popular music over the decades. Prior to this induction, they released their album "Around the Sun" in 2004, and in the following years, they would work on "Accelerate," which was released in 2008. The performance of "Man on the Moon" with Eddie Vedder during the induction highlights R.E.M.'s enduring legacy, as this song reflects themes of irony and nostalgia related to the late comedian Andy Kaufman. The collaboration with Vedder, a fellow iconic artist, underscores the camaraderie shared between musicians in the rock genre and R.E.M.'s influence on the music scene since their formation in the 1980s. This live recording stands as a testament to their longstanding artistry and cultural relevance.
