Genesis To Play Glastonbury 07?

- Deep Purple's original lineup would involve Rod Evans, who the band sued the hell out of in 1980 for using their name, so I wouldn't count on them
- GG's original drummer, Martin Smith, is dead

So, they're both out. Also, Blackmore left DP after Stormbringer (1974) and The Battle Rages On (1993), not around '72.

It won't be Traffic.

Two of Traffic's members are no longer with us...

Unless you mean The Spencer Davis Group.  Spencer Davis still performs, I saw him in the '80s with that All Stars Group he was a part of... could be them I guess, but I don't know the rest of the band.

I still say Fleetwood Mac... from Wikipedia:

A tour was cancelled and recording of a new studio album stopped in early 2004, when Green left the band and moved to Sweden. Shortly thereafter he joined The British Blues All Stars, but their tour in 2005 was also cancelled. A possible reason for these changes could be a planned reunion of the original Fleetwood Mac, as announced by Mick Fleetwood on March 14th, 2005.

Also, Jeremy Spencer performed on Mick Fleetwood's 2004 album "Something Big", so they're still friends.  Spencer has released some solo albums and lives in India, so he still performs.

It's a strong case I think.

We shall see.

Purple have performed together in the classic lineup on and off since Rainbow went bang.
Their first album together after reforming was Perfect Strangers ,I believe,in 1984.
    

The original Fleetwood Mac would not be such a problem coming from Peter Green (who has been touring for much of the new millenium), but from Dany Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer >>> both have gone bonkers on drugs or religion (or was that: and? This would then become a pleonasm)

Jeremy Spencer has been performing in India for the last decade or so and has released albums as well.  He also performed on Mick Fleetwood's 2004 album, so he is still friendly with them.

Danny Kirwan doesn't play anymore and still lives in a home as far as I know.  However, Danny Kirwan was not an original member of Fleetwood Mac (he was drafted in as a third guitarist, because Peter Green wasn't too happy with Spencer's output), so it's not a big problem that he wouldn't be in the lineup.

I actually feel it'd be a huge disappointment if it was Fleetwood Mac, as much as I love their original output.  I am not sure that Peter Green is upto scratch... if it is indeed them, it'll be very interesting to see how they perform.

Having seen Peter Green's Spinter Group in 2002/03, I have witnessed for myself, what his playing is like.  Roger Watson was playing a lot of the solos and technical parts, but Peter Green still played a great slide.  His harmonica playing is better than ever however.

And if by 'original lineup' you're referring to the classic MkII line up, they were performing together from 1985 at Knebworth (I was there ) right up until Steve Morse replaced Blackmore in 1994/1995(ish)      You nailed it, man. By original, I mean the lineup right after the original lineup minus the original member who I mentioned in my post. EXACTLY what I was going for there. Also, Satriani replaced Blackmore on the tour at first. Geck0 wrote: It won't be Traffic. Two of Traffic's members are no longer with us...

On Winwood, Blind Faith maybe?

it must be rush with john rutsey

When did The Supremes last perform as a whole? 

What about Rare Bird...fantastic band, allthought doubtful...maybe even impossible...not familiar with the state of the origional members
