What band or group do you most want to see reunite for a tour?

[begin_within]

Even if some of the original members are dead and their spots are filled by their sons or daughters?

[NightWatcher]

1. the Grateful Dead, but I dont think that Jerry's kids can play the guitar

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

2. The Smiths - OH PLEASE, OH PLEASE!

But it'll never happen unless Morrissey and Marr have their heads bashed together.

[grace0418]

24. The Smiths seconded! Although I think Mike Joyce is the big problem now after

he sued Morrissey. It'll never happen I don't think.

[bbernardini]

3. Utopia

They're all still alive, and I don't think they hate each other as much anymore.

[SoxFan]

4. The Alarm

With the original lineup of Mike Peters, Dave Sharp, Eddie MacDonald, and Nigel Twist.

[abq e streeter]

7. They were GREAT live; much better than I even expected

[Kucinich4America]

43. Yeah, I'd love to see The (real) Alarm myself.

Missed them in the 80's unfortunately :(

I don't think the other guys are even playing music anymore. Wasn't Twist selling insurance in San Francisco or something like that?

Mike's new music is good. I just wish he would find a new name for his band, because it's not really "The Alarm".

[SoxFan]

46. Saw them twice

Capital Centre, Landover, MD, March 1986, on the "Spirit of '86" tour (after "Strength" came out), and again in December '88 at the Orpheum Theater in Boston, on the Electric Folklore tour. The Cap Centre show was an opening gig for Pat Benetar, believe it or not. There were about a thousand Alarm die-hards, but as the set progressed, the other 18,000 people were drawn into it. It was absoulutely mesmerizing.

Mike and Dave are still in the music biz. Eddie is a photographer in the UK, and Twist is, of all things, a paralegal/investigator for the San Francisco public defender's office.

I agree with you on Mike's Alarm(insert roman numeral here). They're good (the band includes members of Stiff Little Fingers and Gene Loves Jezebel), but I wish they would use a different name.

[rockymountaindem]

5. The Clash n/t

[abq e streeter]

8. Sigh... without Joe............

[Bennyboy]

6. String Cheese Incident....

Even though they disbanded this summer, it is going to be tough to spend a NYE without them this year. And no tour over summer, no Horning's Hideout....

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. Allman Brothers.

n/t

[Capn Sunshine]

23. They never ununited

Still tour.
But the "Live At The Fillmore " line up,that would really http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75km7FZvQAg">kick some ass.

[Capn Sunshine]

26. Later Allmans--

Killer version of "You Don't Love me"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMAHQAtUB58

[Tuesday Afternoon]

31. Ummm

I appreciate the education. And, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt and taking your posts at face value.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

30. ununited?

give me a break. The orignal line-up was disbanded. Death has a funny way of doing that. sheesh. Sorry, I did not take the OP so literal as you. Thanks for the link. And thanks for replying and thanks for the snark. Well played :toast:

[ghostsofgiants]

10. Joy Division, Refused, The Clash

Though we would need to resurrect Ian and Joe.

[swag]

11. The Vomit Pigs

[Initech]

12. Faith No More

Sure, Patton is a dick, but he's made some damn good tunes with FNM, and pulling off an FNM reunion to make some dough would be the kind of thing he would do.

[MrCoffee]

44. i'd go see that show

[Robeson]

13. Traffic.

[Bullwinkle925]

14. The Beatles of course . . .

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles . . .

Roy Orbison & his band . . .

Elvis Presley & his group . . .

[begin_within]

18. Well, as you know,

George Harrison's son did play at that tribute concert for George in London... and, both Julian Lennon and Sean Ono Lennon are musicians... so... I could see it happening.

[Bennyboy]

15. The Talking Heads....

One of my all time faves....

[Mojorabbit]

16. Pink Floyd

and I want them to come to my town so I don't have to travel several hours to see them. I am getting old.

[begin_within]

19. Did Syd Barrett have any children?

[Alexander]

25. No.

Besides, they reunited at Live 8 already.

[LynneSin]

33. I don't count 1-off concerts as complete reunions

Give us a tour - then we are united

[Mojorabbit]

49. Eggactly LynneSin! n/t

[LynneSin]

51. BTW, it's been heard that they want to do at least 3 shows at MSG

:woohoo:

I'd love for them to come to NYC - I could make that trip

[Kucinich4America]

41. I'm hoping Pink Floyd will be back in 2008

Nick Mason is reportedly trying to talk Gilmour into it. He's the only holdout, apparently.

[LynneSin]

52. Could you imagine 2008 the year of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin on tour

they'll put all these mega Rolling Stones tours to shame.

[Common Sense Party]

17. Soda Stereo.

Oh, wait, they DID reunite, and they ARE on tour, but I couldn't make it to either city they played here in the states.

¡Viva Soda!

[TrogL]

20. Emerson Lake and Palmer

[begin_within]

39. That would be fantastic.

[Mojorabbit]

50. I'd go to hear

Cest la Vie live. A timeless classic.

[opiate69]

21. Genesis w/ Peter Gabriel

[Fire Walk With Me]

22. The early Tangerine Dream lineup.

I'm feeling the need for some electronic rock.

[GalleryGod]

27. These Guys ?

[sniffa]

28. The Misfits

even if Glen is such a fucking douchebag.

[Kucinich4America]

42. No, it's Jerry who's the douchebag

The NewShits albums with that Republican cretin Graves settles that question. Even Doyle, his own brother had enough of him.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that Doyle's appearances on the recent Danzig tour are the closest thing to a Misfits reunion as we're going to see.

[Omphaloskepsis]

29. Jawbreaker..

Jets to Brazil doesn't count.

[LynneSin]

32. Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd

These lil 'One-off' concerts are NOT enough.

I think these 2 bands could rival each other in largest grossing concert EVER if they both would just tour in 2008!

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. PINK FLOYD! PINK FLOYD! PINK FLOYD! PINK FLOYD! PINK FLOYD! PINK FLOYD! PINK FLOYD!

I get a woody thinking about it.

And it should be a 4 hour show, doing all of Animals (with all songs in extended, extra-long guitar solos mode), Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, and the songs Set the Controls, Careful with That Axe, Astronome Domine, Bike, Mother, Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Saucerful of Secrets, Atom Heart Mother, Fat Old Sun, Pow R. Toc H., Interstellar Overdrive, Corporal Clegg, Jugband Blues, One of These Days.

And NO "Run Like Hell".

[SteppingRazor]

35. First off, if some of the members are dead, then by definition it's not a reunion...

You couldn't have a Beatles reunion after Lennon was shot.

Similarly, I don't think the current Zeppelin line up should be counted as "legitimate."

Given all that, I guess I gotta go post-Barrett Pink Floyd. They're one of the big bands that I really regret not seeing when I had the chance.

[regularguy]

36. Pavement.

[ceile]

37. Afghan Whigs, Catherine Wheel, INXS, Nirvana

Toad the Wet Sprocket, Screaming Trees

[kwassa]

38. Cream

they did a couple of concerts, but no tour.

incredibly innovative group that changed the playing field altogether.

I would not be willing to pay the eight zillion dollars for a ticket, though. I mean, like, I paid ten dollars for a good seat to the Rolling Stones. A loooonngg time ago.

[begin_within]

40. I still have my ticket stub from the 1981 Stones concert in Seattle - $16 general admission

and my sister has a ticket stub from Jethro Tull's tour in the mid 70s, $2.50 in Los Angeles

[kwassa]

45. yeah, I had a three-day ticket to Woodstock for $18.00

and no one to collect it there. I have unfortunately lost the ticket over the years.

John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra in the early '70s played nearby for $1.00, and I missed the concert!

And we snuck down from the cheap $3.50 seats down to the expensive $5.50 seats at the B.B. King/ Muddy Waters concert. We were so proud of ourselves.

And records cost $3.47 for many years.

[begin_within]

48. My sister attended the 1965 Beatles concert at the Hollywood Bowl,

and says the tickets were $6, though she doesn't have her ticket stub any more. And yes, I remember the under $4 record albums. I'm glad I bought so many in the 1970s. I have tons of great albums that I got for $3 to $4 each....

[SoxFan]

47. One that has apparently reunited

Big Country.

They are playing some shows in the UK, with Tony Butler, the bassist, assuming lead vocals. Tony always provided backing vocals for the band.

The anniversary of Stuart Adamson's death is coming up in a few days. As stupid as this is going to sound to people older than 40 or so, Stuart's death hit me harder than John Lennon's. I guess it's because I'm a child of the post-punk '80s who loved Big Country and the Skids as a teenager. If only Stuart knew how many of us were deeply affected by his death, maybe things would have been different...

[IndianaJones]

53. Wu Tang Clan. nt.
