I heard on 6Music on Monday that 'The Skids are to reform' for some festival and/or shows. Guitar duties are to be taken by a Big Country guitarist (can't remember name).

No doubt Rich Jobson could do with a few quid.

Won't be the same without Stuart Adamson,I'd imagine its Bruce Watson...I certainly will not be going

seen them 3 times

I really wish I'd seen Joy Division.

I was going to quite a few gigs at the time of Ian Curtis' death and would have most prob seen them at some point, but music history changed in summer 1980.

Joy Division, Jesus And The Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine

How about The Smiths ?

The Smiths and Stone Roses would both be just behind the bands I named, just never read reports of them being that good live (in Roses case, crap). So chose to ignore them for this question.

Smiths were in my initial thinking however.

I'm not a big fan of bands reforming,I think it sort of cheapens them.When its over its over IMO

Agreed. I think also you're view of a band can be spoiled depending on what time you see them in their careers.

I'd love to have seen the George Formby tribute band in their very early days before hype spoiled them and any old tom, dick and harry went to see em.

It's all about seeing the artist at the right, I'd imagine The Smith not to be very good at 'Strangeways' era.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Joy Division, Jesus And The Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine

Yes! And The VU, Television, Pixies (although it's still possible), Neutral Milk Hotel, The Smiths, Pavement and some more i can't think of atm...

Oh, and Nick Drake, of course, although he was supposed to be awful live (to shy, couldn't look at the audience, sang to the floor not the microphone...)

Yes, although judging from their reformation DVD a couple of years back, The Pixies can still deliver...
