What do you think of a mega-band reunion?
For those in the know, a mega-band reunion refers to a (usually) one-off moment where each and every member in the band's history comes onstage.
For example, had Brian Jones not died in 1969, nor Ian Stewart in 1985, we could've had a very big mega-Stones reunion circa 1990, consisting of:
MICK JAGGER - vocals, harmonica, guitar, keyboards
KEITH RICHARDS - guitars, vocals, bass, keyboards
BRIAN JONES - guitars, harmonica, keyboards, sitar, mellotron, recorder, marimba, bells
MICK TAYLOR - guitar, bass
RONNIE WOOD - guitar, bass, harmonica
BILL WYMAN - bass, keyboards
CHARLIE WATTS - drums, percussion
IAN STEWART - keyboards
But one famous example of this kind of reunion that actually did occur involved the prog-rock band Yes - in 1991. This mega-reunion consisted of members Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Trevor Rabin, Chris Squire, Bill Bruford, Rick Wakeman, Tony Kaye and Alan White. Guitarist Peter Banks declined to participate.
