The Police - After releasing Synchronicity in 1983 the band toured and broke up in 1984. This being said they came back after over 20 years to tour from 07-08. The band has no intention of getting back together ; but this tour proves they still got it.
Led Zeppelin - Well 1980 sucked. John Lennon, AND John Bonham were dead. Truly the musical landscape had to change. However after a couple of subpar renunions the band took to the stage in 2007 for a one off with the three remaining members of the band, and John Bonhams son Jason to comemorate the death of their manager Ahmet Ertegun. They proceeded to rock the house, and left everyone wondering when they'll actually release the preformence on Blu-ray, DVD, VHS, Laserdisc, Betamax, LP, CD, Cassette, MD, SACD (I think you get the point).
The Beatles - OK so they never really "reunited" but for the Beatles - Anthology project that took place in 1995/6 the renaming Beatles DID all return to talk about their experiences in the band and create two new tracks with old John Lennon backing tracks. It was the closest we ever got to a reunion anyway. And the Anthology in all it's forms is definitely worth looking into and buying if you haven't already.
Pink Floyd - Another one off in July of 2005 the complete Pink Floyd played together after over 25 years. The only problem is that they were only given a four song set. This is just a killer considering they have such an amazingly rich backlog to cull tracks from. 2.5 from Dark Side Of The Moon, 1 from Wish You Were Here, and 1 from The Wall. The band sounded in top form and rumors began to spread about a possible reunion. After ultimately denying it the chances were thoroughly crushed by the unfortunate death of keyboard player Richard Wright late last year. Now us Floyd fans can only put on records and think about what could have been.
- Peace and Love -

ReplyDeleteShe's the one, she'll always be there.
She took my hand, and I made it I swear.
Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.
She said "What?" and I told her that I didn't know.
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window.
Everything's better when she's around-
I can't wait till her parents go out of town-

Blink 182 - one of the greatest living drummers, but IMO one of the most annoying vocalists i've ever heard.
