Name bands or performers who toured again after their last tour. Ever.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

BOWIE "retired." Actually, he's in the middle of "retiring" a second time.

OZZY "retired." Remember "No More Tours?"

The Eagles did a "Farewell Tour." They've toured since, recorded a new album, and are going to tour again in 2012.

Name a band or performer who said goodbye and before you knew it, there they were again.

1. Flat Duo Jets

Dexter used to always get pissed about something and at the end of a show he'd snarl: "This is the last time I'm ever playing with these guys."

A week later he'd change his mind.

[Tom Ripley]

5. +1 ( I still think the greatest lineup was Dex, Crow, and Tone)

[Tom Ripley]

6. Dream Syndicate had actually disbanded after Days of Wine and Roses

but reformed when offered the A&M contract that resulted in "Medicine Show" A very good thing.

A couple of years ago, Wynn wanted to reform the DS. Karl Precoda didn't even respond to him.

[Throd]

2. The Ramones

[Texasgal]

3. Kiss.

Over and over again after FAREWELL.

[Bossy Monkey]

4. Who?

(OK, The Who.)

[Richardo]

7. I went to a show on their *first* retirement tour in the 1980s.

:eyes:

[Bossy Monkey]

9. I think I went to both their '80s farewell tours n/t

[jmowreader]

10. They were the first ones that came to mind too

If you were to attach a generator to The Who's retirement status, you'd have a whole new source of alternative energy.

[Initech]

8. I have a strong feeling we'll see REM again.

[HopeHoops]

11. Simon & Garfunkel. I saw them at Laurel Race Track (MD) in '83

The tickets were $17 and that was a SHITLOAD to pay for a ticket at the time. Well worth it.

[Bake]

12. Cher. Her "Farewell Tour" has been going on for five or six years at least!

I saw her in Cincinnati, and it was a helluva show!

:hi:

13. Went to the Who farewell tour in 1978

Missed the Stones farewell tour 1983

[Mendocino]

14. It seems like

The Who made final tours an almost annual event.

On edit-I also saw the Who in 78, in Detroit three days after the disastrous Cinci show.

15. I got in a crush in that venue 1989

chest to chest the crowed surge picked me up carried me 6 to 10 feet before skirting me through the door. I had managed to have my hand up with a ticket in it so I wasn't beaten. The really short girl in front of me was blacking out from being crushed or lack of air.

[Mendocino]

16. My buddy and I were patted down and

had to give up an empty plastic canteen, by drunk rent-a-cops at the Silverdome. The show was great but the tension hung like a sword.
