Which of the longest-serving rock 'n' roll acts have dates on the calendar for this year? And who can we reasonably expect to make a comeback?

[Cujet]

I saw the Doobie Brothers this summer in West Palm Beach. That was really fun. Tom Johnston still sounds great. I think they started about 1970 or so.

 

[Owen Lucas]

Saw Black Sabbath around 2004 IIRC, Ozzy needed a teleprompter for his lyrics.

I think Foreigner is still going and KISS is on their final tour.

Chicago - 1967

About 1966-67. Tom Johnston rented a house on 12th Street in San Jose when he attended San Jose State.

i have never heard of them either

 

[SC Maintenance]

Can't believe AC/DC hasn't been mentioned yet. Formed in 1973. I think there second only to the Beatles in Album sales or some crazy thing. Handful of dates set up for 2023

 

[walterjay]

We saw 3 Dog Night several months ago. They were painful to watch as they tried to act like their old selves.

 

[aquariuscsm]

Any of the 1950s do-woppers still around?

 

[aquariuscsm]

i have never heard of them either

Sparks is a 70s new wave band I think.

 

[PimTac]

The Who are still going strong and sound pretty good with Zak Starkey on drums and Pete Townshend’s brother Simon on guitar. Zak is the god son of Keith Moon and son of Ringo Starr. The Who have a small orchestra playing with them also which adds depth to some of their songs.

Any of the 1950s do-woppers still around?

Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons?
