You say that, but I seem to remember the original lineup of The Velvet Underground played Glastonbury about 8/9 years ago...
    
 
Well, that's why I was askingShocked. So it can't be them anyways.
 
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.

hey now, my 2nd post & maybe something to contribute...?
 
a band that fits the description & a reunion isn't out of the question:
 
Roxy Music (w/Eno)
 
Springtime this year there were rumors of them playing Coachella Festival near San Diego, which was pretty exciting for a minute then didn't happen.
 
Now Roxy's out on tour:  http://www.bryanferry.com/news.html
 
Add Eno & mix well!  Wink

Genesis? Gentle Giant? COMUS?!? We really do have an imagination... Wink I think... It's gonna be a mistery untill that very night, all the crowd will be there, eager and podering who this wonderband will be... suddenly, a blinding orange light will come down from the depth of space ...and.... Holly cow!!!! LOOK! it's ELVIS!!  I knew it!

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 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.

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.

Last time these six played together was in 1973, when Phil Shulman was still there...

Their bassist, John Entwistle died not so long ago, so you can rule them out...

I hope it's Osanna, reforming with Elio D'Anna on sax. It's very likely, also Tongue

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.


You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

You're right, it was John McVie I believe!

It'd be even better if Peter Green was there, then they could have two versions of The Bluesbreakers... however, Hartley had left by the time Green had joined (they played together briefly I think).

Oh, I forgot about the Yardbirds... but that wouldn't work either...

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.
 
 
Wasn't John McVie actually their bassist on that record?
 
Strange, strange reunion that would be...but no doubt exciting.
 
 
The Jeff Beck group w/ Rod Stewart?  Ecch, I'd shudder to tihnk what Stewart singing those songs now must sound like.  They'd probably have to rename it The Rod Stewart Group (with Jeff Beck) for billing purposes. Confused
Prog is the new punk, becuase kids who shop at Hot Topic don't know Bill Bruford is God.
