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. 


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.

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)

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.

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.

I have the feeling it's going to be something featuring Steve Winwood...

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...

I've said it once and I'll say it again: The original lineup of Fleetwood Mac.

That doesn't mean Danny Kirwan or Jeremy Spencer either.

It'd be just:

Peter Green
Mick Fleetwood
John McVie

Oh and Bob Brunning!

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.

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.

Who cares about Dire Straits playing in their original line-up?

The only irreplaceable band member was Mark Knopfler.


It could be the Sex Pistols - Johnny Rotten left in 1977 - and the other original members are still alive

The important thing is not to stop questioning.

It could be Yes with Banks, Bruford and Kaye. On the other hand, it could be The Groundhogs. Even if it is Genesis, I'm not camping in a field of mud to see them.

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?

there may well be some truth in that ... peter gabriel
has his real world studio complex just up the road in
bath and i think he even lives in the local area.
progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false?

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!
