Blame Eric for killing that idea - he didnt want to tour on a shoestring
budget.

THAT would be an event. But it would be hard to rope Neil Young into doing it.
>Eagles (Don, Glenn, Randy, Bernie)
Just too much bad blood here, plus they would want a shitload of $$$.
>Hollies (with Graham and Eric Haycock)
The Hollies dont want to do anything with the USA since the reunion with
Graham
Nash bombed in 1983. Alan Clarke has retired to take care of his ailing wife
(and voice). Haydock started his "Eric Haydock's Hollies" oldies band, which
infuriated management (I think there was a lawsuit involved).
>Kinks (Ray, Dave, Mick, Pete)
Love to see this happen too - I think the original 4 did reunite in the studio
the late 90's.
>The Move (the original five)
Just not enough Roy Wood fans in the USA - its a shame his music never
connected with a mass audiance here. Carl Wayne is now the lead singer for the
Hollies.
>Rubinoos (with Royce)
Another good one - but not a earthshaking reunion and one that would generate
ratings for VH-1.
