Band reunion; you have the power...

[Fade and Die]

Oh yes - Wham. The loss of George Michael so young is something that hits me hard everytime I hear one of his tracks.

Yes I agree, heard him singing “One more try” the other day on the radio, was very emotive...also Amy Winehouse. ?

 

[Pin-seeker]

Oasis-best band of all time.

 

[Rlburnside]

That’s hard to pick one band but I’ll go for the original line up of Fleetwood Mac

 

[Dando]

i am lucky as the best band ever have reformed for a tour - Steps!

 

[IanMcC]

One of these two.

 

[drewster]

Sisters of Mercy c1985 and The Verve (pre and post Urban Hymns)

One for the music lovers amongst us, I don't think it's been done before.

You have the power to reunite/resurrect a band with the previous line up of your choice in order to see them play; who do you choose? It can be a band that you've seen before, or one that you never got to see, but can no longer perform, usually because of the demise of one or more members.

In my case, it's an honourable mention for Tom Petty and Led Zeppelin who I have never seen, and The Who and Queen, who I have seen but not in the original line up. However, the choice I'm always drawn to when the question is considered...



Thin Lizzy. Something about the atmosphere they generated at a gig that I really miss.

So, who is it for you?

Great thread Richard.

I'd agree with my Bro, Rlburnside,
Would love to have seen Fleetwood Mac in their early days.
Also, as I've said on here before, my biggest regret musically is not having seen Pink Floyd live.

 

[SocketRocket]

It's Manfred Mann or The Small Faces for me, can't pick a winner from them.

 

[cliveb]

I presume nobody has picked the obvious choice because it's a given? (You know, the four guys from Liverpool).

My pick: the classic 73/74 line up of Gong: Daevid Allen (RIP), Gilli Smyth (RIP), Pierre Moerlen (RIP), Steve Hillage, Didier Malherbe, Tim Blake, Mike Howlett.

Having heard Noddy Holder on the radio earlier Slade would be another as I reckon their gigs would have been proper loud and sweaty affairs. Simple songs banged out

They were my first favourite band as a kid and saw them three times in the late 1970s. Just for the atmosphere they were only surpassed by Thin Lizzy, with 70s Quo close behind. Would love a time machine to see either band again (although Lizzy with either Gary Moore or Brian Robertson, rather than Snowy White).
Of the bands that I never saw, would love to have seen Queen (well I saw them with Paul Rodgers, but I don’t count that).

It's your choice Mike, you can have both, you can have Scott Gorham as well.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Having seen Queen with Freddie, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours lineup, Quo with Lancaster and Coghlan, Thin Lizzie’s Live & Dangerous line up, Pink Floyd The Wall at Earls Court plus loads more, inc Bowie. I feel I have been a bit blessed.

Nirvana, Springsteen & Guns n Roses are high on my list of missing ones

But one band to reform/ resurrect would have to be Cream ?

 

[Pathetic Shark]

You not going for Renee and Renato then Fragger?

 

[Deleted member 29109]

The Prodigy for me.

Never saw them live. Every time I planned to go, something happened to stop me.

 

[Robster59]

The who, saw them at the valley it too young to appreciate. Seen them loads of time since without Moon and the ox.

Band I never saw live, Blue oyster cult.

I saw The Who live at Bingley Hall, but sadly after Keith Moon had died. I'd love to have seen Moon live.

 

[Hobbit]

Genesis, pre-'78. Another I'd like to see would be Rory Gallagher.

I did and can safely say he was a great entertainer.

However, I can equally safely say that he was not a great drummer.

Only good thing about Joe is that he kept that dirge Vienna off the top of the charts...
