Galstonbury Festival supremo Michael Eavis has managed to secure the services of a band who haven't performed together in their original lineup for over 30 years for Glastonbury 2007. This would discount Zeppelin, Floyd, Cream etc. Could it be Genesis?
This rumour originates from BBC Radio In the UK and the DJ involved was unaware of who the mystery band was,so this is still idle specualtion but the statement is not a wind up. Technically Genesis doesnt fit the ident but it would make sense. |

| How does this discount Pink Floyd? Syd Barrett never played with them after the late 60s did he?. That would be close to 40 years. Personally, since Pink Floyd already recently played together after their 20 year hiatus, I would prefer to see the original Genesis lineup, but I would have to say that Pink Floyd is more likely, though neither is probably what this guy is talking about. |

Well Barratt's dead for starters.
I think he is saying that a band who have not been together for 30 years are reforming. To headline Glastonbury it would have to be someone big,but obviously there are probably dozens of semi-forgotten bands who could fit the clues. The other whispers (not related to this info) are Eric Clapton and Kylie... |

Fleetwood Mac... unlikely... very unlikely... but you never know! And you did say original, line up didn't you? If it was Genesis, then it'd have to consist of: Peter Gabriel, Anthony Phillips, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Chris Stewart .-------------

Fleetwood Mac?.... the original lineup perhaps.... not sure what Peter Greens mental state is... didn't he find God/LSD and become a monk or something
Shame though... helluva Guitar player.... and it's going on 35-40 years
since Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac last performed.. obviously morphing
into the Fleetwood Mac that everyone knows. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Haha, I saw Peter Green's Splinter Group perform a few years back on the same bill as John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. The interesting thing is that Peter Green's Splinter Group has stop and Green's apparently moved abroad, because there are rumours of a reformation of Fleetwood Mac. I've know about this for a while, but very little is known and it's all speculation. He's not the guitarist he was, but he's come on a lot. By the way, I have a signed CD by Peter Green, beat that! -------------

I had head the rumour re Kylie...nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum... sorry, where was I?  Oh yes, Glastonbury -
I would be so p+++++ off if this were the case; not only would it mean having to share the experience with 100,000 people who (a) weren't even born when Genesis were at their height, (b) wouldn't care who they were watching, and (c) would actually explode if confronted with a song over three minutes long (God only knows what would happen at Glastonbury if a song strayed from 4/4 time). I know Yes played there a couple of years ago, but they were stuck on the Jazz World Stage mid afternoon - would you want to see the most eagerly anticipated reunion happen on a backwater stage... probably in the rain? However - could you imagine the possibilities if all the rumours were true: Genesis and a reformed Floyd on the same bill, with Clapton appearing as guest with both... and Kylie on vocals!nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum nice bum ...maybe not, eh?  -------------

The Sex Pistols have performed together over the last few years and of course the Sids keep expiring.
I think the thrust of the rumour is that the band would be reforming after not having played together in over 30 years. So that's Sex Pistols and Dire Straits out. |

I don`t think so. Peter Banks is not in good terms with Anderson/ Squire since he was fired from the band. Less since he was invited by Tony Kaye to join the band during the "Union" tour for a guest appearance in the U.S., and at the last time, he didn`t play (being at the venue backstage) because (as he said in one interview in 1994) Steve Howe didn`t want him on stage (it seems that Howe had enough competition with Rabin on stage to have another guitar player on stage; Howe of course say that "it wasn`t true" in another interview). Tony Kaye sued YES some years ago due to lack of paid royalties from the "90125" album, and he also sued them for the use of the name "YES". These legal problems were resolved last year, but I doubt that he is in good terms with Anderson /Squire now. Bill Bruford said that he was with YES "only fo the money" during the "Union" tour, so, if the money is good, maybe he could rejoin YES again. But the YEs name belongs to Squire, White, Howe, Anderson and Wakeman, so I doubt about a reunion of the original line-up.

And what about Gentle Giant's original line-up, or the Octopus line-up (which consisted in the original line up except for John Weathers, their main drummer)? After all, they re-issued more than half their back catalogue, released two well selling DVD's... WHAT IF, MY FRIENDS ???
Last time these six played together was in 1973, when Phil Shulman was still there...

Could It Be Deep Purple with Ritchie Blackmore?
Blackmore departed the group in 1972 after Machine Head. Coverdale replaced him, but its a big group. Thast 34 years since they last performed together, I think DP is a likely candidate.

- 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. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/omgwtfdagrush/">

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 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004 - 2004 , when Green left the band and moved to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden - Sweden . Shortly thereafter he joined http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_British_Blues_All_Stars&action=edit - The British Blues All Stars , but their tour in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005 - 2005 was also cancelled. A possible reason for these changes could be a planned http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reunion - reunion of the original Fleetwood Mac, as announced by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Fleetwood - Mick Fleetwood on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_14th - March 14th , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005 - 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. -------------

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)

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 )------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I saw the bogus "Deep Purple" in 1980 with Rod Evans in an old stadium here in my city. They played awful and were booed, and later there was a riot. Evans was sued later by the real Deep Purple management, and he lost the royaties of the albums he recorded with them.
Blackmore left Deep Purple again or was fired with a lot of bad feelings in late 1993, during a tour, and was replaced by Joe Satriani in a few dates.I doubt that Deep Purple is going to have him playing guitar again. Blackmore is a very good guitarist but it seems that iis hard to work with him.

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. -------------

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.
On Winwood, Blind Faith maybe? ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/omgwtfdagrush/">

As much as I would love to be proved wrong, it just won't be Genesis, or any other of those bands mentioned...
'Over 30 years' means, sometime before 1977.
Glastonbury just doesn't do 'prog' (usually). It's not likely to have someone like Genesis or Fleetwood Mac or even Deep Purple headlining. The 'kids' would think Eavis had gone mad!
Nope, it's much more likely to be someone more 'indie' or punk. I can't think of any examples that exactly fit the bill, but I bet it's someone boring and predictable.

No no, it won't be the Beach Boys (I hope not as well!). Eric Clapton was supposed to play in 2005, but they already had filled all the spots, so he was asked to come back in 2007... Cream have already reformed... Rick Grech is not with us Duane Allman is not with us John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton, Keef Hartley and whoever was on bass at the time... Don't think Keef Hartley has done much since the '80s, so i doubt this will happen. -------------

Speculation has also begun over one of the other acts set to appear at Glastonbury in 2007, after Michael Eavis suggested he had secured "one of the biggest bands in the world", who apparently haven't played together for 35 years. So it isn't Genesis. This time he said that it's 35 years since they played together. This means a band that stopped in 1971 of course. -------------

There were two bands:
One was called "Small Faces", and this band split in 1969. The members of the band were: Steve Marriott (who died in 1991), Ronnie Lane (who died in the late 90s), Kenny Jones (who replaced Keith Moon in "The Who") and Ian McLagan. Marriott and Lane were the main composers of the band.
When Marriott left "Small Faces" to form "Humble Pie" with Peter Frampton, Rod Stewart and Ron Wood joined the band, which in the beginning was still called "Small Faces", but after a short time the band changed their name to "Faces". Ronnie Lane left "Faces" in 1973, and was replaced by a Japanese bassist called Tetsu until December 1975 when they split.
I read in one magazine some years ago that there were plans to reform "Faces". Kenny Jones said that, but in the end it didn`t happen.

| I forgot that there was a "Small Faces" reunion between 1976 and 1978, but without Ronnie Lane. The line-up was Marriott, Jones, McLagan, plus bassist Rick Wills, and during their tour they had Jimmy McCulloch (ex-Wings, died in 1979) playing guitar too. They recorded two unsuccessful albums and split in 1978. |

Genesis? Gentle Giant? COMUS?!? We really do have an imagination... No, but really, Glastonbury isn't what it used to be, no more experimental hippies at the main stage. It's most likely going to be a noisy, simple and easy band. I can't think of any band I would want to see that fits the criteria and is capable of performing... Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't most the great bands of the 60's missing half thier members? What is the situation of the Velvet Underground members by the way? (stupid question, they must have ODed long ago..)

I never have been a Fan of the Velvet Underground, but I know that at least two of their members are dead now. One was their female drummer and another maybe was their bassist whose names I don`t remember now. Another member who died a long time ago was their singer Nico.
There was a reunion of this band in the late 80s. They recorded a live album called "Songs for Drella" or something like that, which was dedicated to Andy Warhol, the creator of the band, who died in those years. The line-up had John Cale, Lou Reed, and other original members.
