R.E.M. Live Performance of 'Losing My Religion' at Trafalgar Square

Venue: Trafalgar Square Location: London, United Kingdom Date: November 30, 2000

On November 30, 2000, R.E.M. performed "Losing My Religion" at Trafalgar Square in London, during a significant period in the band's career. This performance came shortly after the release of their album *Up* in October 1998, which marked a pivotal shift in their sound following the departure of drummer Bill Berry. The album was notable for its darker themes and more electronic influences, and it included hits like "Daysleeper" and "Imitation of Life." By the time of the Trafalgar Square concert, R.E.M. was transitioning to a new phase as they were preparing for their next album, *Reveal*, released in 2001. The live recording at such a historic venue exemplified R.E.M.'s enduring popularity and their ability to connect with fans, showcasing the band's resilience and evolution in a changing music landscape.
