Tribute Bands featuring original members

Saw this- Neal Schon, Gregg Rollie, Deen Castronovo and some other people doing a tribute to Journey.
Schon has some disagreements with the other current members of Journey, I think he owns the name, so they can't sue.


Dead & Co. would also fit this category.

 

Four ex-members and one future member...

 

From the Jam (but I know they claim that they're not a tribute act)

 

Last in Line. Tribute to Dio

Vivian Campbell, Jimmy Bain, Vinny Appice And Claude Schnell from Dio

 

Creedence Clearwater Revisited
Buffalo Springfield Revisited
The Grandmothers
Kast off Kinks

 

Nick Mason Saucerful of Secrets.

 

Kast Off Kinks

 

The version I saw had Ian Wallace

 

KISS

 

They sound really good.

 

The Security Project plays Peter Gabriel's music (concentrating on the first four albums) and features original drummer Jerry Marotta.

The rest of the band are:

Trey Gunn on Warr Guitar
Michael Cozzi on guitar
David Jameson on keys

And female singer Happy Rhodes on vocals. As odd as this may sound, Rhodes has a genuine four octave range (a much abused and misapplied claim - basically she sounds like a duet between David Bowie and Kate Bush.)

 

Kate Bush's ex (and bassist) plays with a Kate Bush tribute band.

 

Pete Way has played with a UFO tribute band as a guest occasionally.

 

Steve Hackett has his own Genesis tribute band and guests with a few more

 

The New Rascals

 

Cteedence Clearwater Recycled
From The Jam

 

The Family Stone
Greg Errico
Jerry Martini

 

Vini Lopez's Steel Mill Retro

 

Generation Sex - Billy Idol and Tony James from Generation X with Steve Jones and Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols.

They do - wait for it - Gen X and Pistols songs and man, do I hope they tour!

 

Steve Hackett ??

 

Announced yesterday that Kenney Jones is doing a gig with the Small Fakers. (SF is a Small Faces tribute band, for those younger than 50.....)

 

Not the only one - two of Del's partners in the KT Bush Band, Vic King and Brian Bath have reconstituted the band, and have added Steve Bevan on bass, Emily Francis on keys and Jodie May on vocals.



They have a gig coming up on the 19th in Sudbury, Suffolk at the Quay Theatre.

 

There was an amusing example of this phenomena recently in Australia. Todd Rundgren was invited to tour Australia, but the money wasn't good enough to bring his regular band. So instead, he found an excellent Todd tribute band in Australia and practiced the set they already knew and played the clubs that they had already played. So the audiences got a really unique opportunity to see the real thing for not much more than tribute prices.

 

Adler's Appetite

Asia featuring John Payne

 

Didn't Warren Zevon do a tour (and a live album) with a tribute band.
