I want to bridge the gap of space and time to bring back Phil Collins and Genesys from the 80's (comfort food), the Beatles from the late 60's to early 70's but with the knowledge and experience gained without the distruption of death/mortality or maybe with, actally... Pink Floyd from the Dark Side of the Moon tour.... the Rat Pack at the Sands... and it goes on and on...
Steve Perry hates Neal Schon so, sadly, they will never get back together. And I don't think Steve Smith would ever get back with the group. You'll have to settle for a video of the MTV Houston Summit concert.
Hmmmm, Talking Heads and New Order are the two concerts that got away. New Order are touring this year but without bassist Peter Hook. Bernard and Hookie need to patch things up. As long as David Byrne is a pompous windbag (which means as long as he draws breath) the Talking Heads reunion is a pipe dream. I already got to see the Breeders reunited in May.
OK, I've got it: White Stripes
Meg White had her nervous breakdown 3 weeks before they were scheduled to headline the ACL Festival. Jack White had been through Austin with the Raconteurs the previous year and would be back with The Dead Weather and the Raconteurs again the next two years. So I've seen a lot of Jack White over the years. But I've only caught the White Stripes on video.
@Rhino, this is exactly what I was going to say. Axl hates Slash with such a passion it seems unlikely, and neither one of them is hurting for money. If they reunite, it MUST be with Steven Adler. None of that Matt Sorum pompous drumming. I love Adler's punk feeling and energy.
Out of those with members still alive - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Maybe they could do one show without killing each other or something like that...
Saw csn&y a few years ago. Kick. Ass. Concord Pavilion, Concord, CA. GRODY venue. Amazing show. Neil on his best behavior and all of their voices rang strong and true.
Saw Yes at the same place. Great show.
I would choose Grand Funk Railroad and Johnny & Edgar Winter.
Oh, and opening would be Leon Russell and Rick Derringer singing Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo.
Annnnnddddd might throw in Joe Walsh (The Smoker You Drink The Player You Get)
And Joni Mitchell, anything before she went jazzy, in particular the best album on the planet Hejira.
MOXY FRÜVOUS! YES! I saw them several times back in the day--they were the best live band I've ever seen, hands down. The New Year's shows were incredible.
Monkees are currently touring (or were as of weekend before last), but not sure about line-up, as they are down at least one member permanently.
If all members were still alive definitely The Beatles and The Monkees. Of course, The Monkees could have reunited as a foursome in the decade before Davy Jones died, but didn't for whatever reason.
Guns n Roses, all 5 original memebers. Don't think it is likely, but the original 4 might reunite someday without Axl, I would even take that. Every other group I would like to see reunite will have to happen in heaven because members are dead.
Rage Against the Machine. They get together once in a great while for an occasional festival , but I want them back together,making more albums and touring. System of a Down, too.
Took a peek above - great picks! I'm on board for Faith No More and pretty much all the groups already mentioned. I'd kill to see The Supremes back together.
Can we talk about MV attempting to sing live with Taylor Swift?! LMAO!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a disaster... And not just the diaper pants.
DeleteIf we can dig up members, then Led Zeppelin of course. Maybe the Blues Brothers.
ReplyDeleteThe Monkees.
ReplyDeleteThe Police or Genesis or America (yes, I'm old).
ReplyDeleteJourney

ReplyDeleteStyx, because without Dennis DeYoung, that group is like the Beatles without John, Paul, George and Ringo.
ReplyDeleteGranted, I'd prefer a reunion of the Beatles more than anything else, but no concert promoter has THAT much pull.
LMAO OMG that was PAINFUL to watch and listen too, thanks @VIP
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the Supremes reunite Diana, Mary, Cindy Birdsong but Diana is too much an egomaniac for that to happen.
@peged, YES PLEASE, Journey with Steve Perry. I would marry that man no matter his age. His voice (quivers).

Ok, boy bands, like hair bands are for children. The groups and music i like are all playing and doing great.
ReplyDeleteThe background singers took over, lol.
ReplyDeletethe Original Guns N' Roses
ReplyDeleteHell. Yes.

DeleteIn terms of members all still alive - definitely The Smiths
ReplyDeleteSleater Kinney
ReplyDeleteI would totally go see an NSYNC tour
ReplyDeleteMaybe lip synching isn't such a bad idea when they can't really sing!
ReplyDeleteMoxy Fruvous.
ReplyDeleteThe least cool band that ever lived.
DeleteThe Beatles. I'd love for Paul and Ringo to go on tour together. I'd pay anything to see that.
ReplyDeleteThe Police
ReplyDeleteGenesis
En Vogue
Guns and Roses

Jodeci, but it way too late for that to happen.
ReplyDeleteINXS.
ReplyDeleteSpandau Ballet. I'm a child of the 80s
ReplyDeleteA way underrated band. :-)
DeleteLed Zep w/ Jason Bonham on drums.
ReplyDeleteSadly, all the groups I'd like to see get back together have at least one member who has left the building for good.
ReplyDeleteThe Beatles.
ReplyDeleteDiggin' the Moxy Fruvous and Sleater-Kinney ideas, too.
Faith No More
ReplyDeletethe original MisFits.
