Hey CR, saw Cheap Trick last spring up in Abbotsford when they opened for ZZ Top. At the time, Rick was playing, his son was on drums and Robin Zander's son was on guitar. Robin's voice still sounded great.
I think the only time AC/DC played Vancouver with Bon was in 78 when they opened for Aerosmith. One of their first shows ever with Brian was in Vancouver, July 1980, although I didn't see it. Canadian band Streetheart was the opening act.
I remember Ac/DC selling out 3 shows at the Seattle Center Coliseum back in Feb 82. 3 of my classmates went down to the concert, in grade 10 and recently getting a drivers license. Didn't get back home til around 4 in the morning but the next day they were wearing their concert shirts at school!
Yes but they’re not pre-1980
I didn’t know this, cheers for the correction.
I think so, 6025 & Ted were part of the original band, DH joined after Fresh Fruit if I recall correctly.
...and they got together in 78, so 2 years under the wire.
And chick bands don't count.
also the best known line-ups of The Ventures, The Ramones.
Don Wilson Nookie Edwards and Bob Bogle all have died. Spaulding is still alive

Bob Spalding? He didn't join until 1980, so hardly from their best-known line-up. I'm referring to Don Wilson, Nookie Edwards, Bob Bogle - and Mel Taylor, their drummer during 1962–1973 and 1979–1996.
Ahh my mistake. You are right Sorry
Do they still tour. Paul is a great vocalist.
Talk about your favorite band.

Are we talking about bands with all original members still performing or bands with original members still alive. If so The Guess Who and Journey
Yeah - the title is confusing.

Cheap Trick though apparently only 2 are actively on tour
I think Rick Nielsen was out a short time but is back now. He's 74, older than the rest of the band. Robin Zander's son filled in for him. I sure would've been bummed if I went to a show & Rick wasn't with them. Bad enough that Bun E Carlos got forced out. They played here recently & it was spendy. $80 before service charges. When I was in high school Cheap Trick was the band that opened for everyone. First time I saw them was opening for KISS on the Love Gun tour. They blew KISS away. Most memorable show was Ted Nugent (circa Double Live Gonzo), Cheap Trick (Heaven Tonight) & this little unknown Aussie band called AC/DC (around the first live album). Bon Scott was still with us. They got booed at first because the spuds thought they were punk rock but AC/DC won them over. They were so fantastic. I got so enthused that I went back for the second night. Glad I did because the next time AC/DC played in town Bon was gone. They sold out 3 nights at the same venue where they opened for Ted. I think Bon was one of the best front men I've ever seen. AC/DC were still great after but it's not quite the same.

Clive Burr has sadly passed. But yes, the general classic lineup of Iron Maiden is still intact, with Nicko replacing Clive and Bruce replacing Paul Di'Anno, who IS still alive.Quote

From before the 80s, Iron Maiden

Hanoi RocksBut OK, they didn't start before 80. And the reunion was a one-off for now.
Didn’t the drummer die?
Razzle wasn't an original member.

Bob Spalding? He didn't join until 1980, so hardly from their best-known line-up. I'm referring to Don Wilson, Nookie Edwards, Bob Bogle - and Mel Taylor, their drummer during 1962–1973 and 1979–1996.

I think The Kinks are the oldest band that could possibly reunite in their 60s lineup. Altough not the original one since Pete Qauife died in 2010 but with John Dalton on bass.
I guess you missed my post above on Manfred Mann then...Quote
Congratulations
Ahhh... got one: Manfred Mann! The 1963-1965 line-up are all still around:
Manfred Mann, Paul Jones, Dave Richmond, Tom McGuinness, Mike Hugg.
Beat that!
Do they still tour. Paul is a great vocalist.

All four original members from Golden Earring are still alive. Established in 1961. Sadly they had to call it quits in 2021 because gitarist George Kooymans was diagnosed ALS.

I think perhaps Aerosmith is the biggest tragedy of all of these bands, having been together pretty much their entire career (I know there was a brief period there in the early 80's? I believe when it was not the case), but to not have put out any new, original music in so long now is really a shame. I'm not a huge fan of theirs - used to like them much more in the 90's when they resurged, but they just haven't aged well for my personal tastes, though I have seen them a couple of times live. It's a shame with the continued health problems and inner fighting amongst the members after having made it this far.
