Harry was complex and he was many things. A band he was not, however.
In a way, you could say John Lennon never toured post Beatles. He played one or two shows but thats about it, and he had 5 albums come out. And then obviously there's the Beatles who didn't tour for half of their career.
Because Andy Partridge suffered from stage fright. The Dukes of Swindon were one of the greatest English bands through the 80-90-00 if you ask me.
Does their time in Yes count?
Man, you are some kind of rolling freak. That is in no way funny.
Excuse me? These folks toured and played gigs all over the place! Even had their own designer bus. Sounds like you never watched the show at all.
Speaking of Dukes, this band never toured at all. They just seemed to make one great album and.... disappear.
Thanks man, it's nice to know we meant something to someone.

We should have toured together, I thought I was Josie...
Oh, yes, they did. Their first concert was in December of '66.
Take that back or me and Danny Bonaduce are gonna come down to Austin and knock some heads together!
Look my friend, 'we buried Paul'...that's it, backward masking on Strawberry Fields forever, shoeless on the cover of Abbey Road...do you need more evidence?
The fake Paul even recorded 'Live and Let Die'...he lives, Paul dies.
Horrible stuff.
Talk about your favorite band.

With all this talk of if/when The Stones are going to tour (soon, I hope) I wondered......are there any famous bands that never toured? There probably are--help me think of some.

The Buggles never toured. They made a few TV appearances, but never a proper live show.

Seems like Steely Dan almost never toured until they returned in the 90's

Not necessarily famous, but it seems that after 1982 XTC didn't play live at all, and that means another 10 years of just studio albums and occasional TV appearances.

Just listened to Nilsson Schmilsson the other night and realized he never toured. They say he's one of the few, but he's pretty much the only one I know of.Quote

I also wanted to mention Harry Nilsson................by the way, why should you tour back then, if you could make a lot money releasing records I don't think they made a lot of money touring back then

The first band I ever loved...
Thanks man, it's nice to know we meant something to someone.
As Zoot, who I thought I was back in the day, being seven will do that to you
Personally I dug the Jug Bands "For What's It's Worth", seminal even.

In the heyday of their TV series, the Monkees never toured & barely even played on their recordings. They did tour later on after the series was finished
