The Rascals reunion tour has me wondering if there are any other groups that released records in the 1960s who are still touring with ALL of their original members. I came up with only one:

Crosby, Stills and Nash

Then I wondered if there were any other groups that released records in the 1960s who could, theoretically, tour with ALL of their original members. I came up with:


Simon and Garfunkel
Cream
Three Dog Night
The Guess Who

Any others?

Not the original line up, but the original line up after they changed their name to Status Quo. They did a reunion with this line up recently.

Lots of times a band's original lineup is not the same thing as its best-known lineup. For example, all five members of Genesis's best-known lineup are still very much alive, and Genesis did release an album in 1969, but not all of those five guys were on it. So it gets a bit tricky.

Simon and Garfunkel

Simon and Garfunkel

Did you not have time to finish reading my original post?

I was gonna say Jethro Tull, but I think Mick Abrahams recently passed away. The lineup that recorded their second album, Stand Up, released in 1969, are all still living, though.

Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, Jeremy Spencer, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood - the original and best Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.
Unfortunately i don't believe Peter's up to it and the last news on Danny (some years ago) indicated that there was little hope of him playing in public again.
I hope he's doing ok. At least Peter seems content with life these days.
Seriously, if those guys could have kept it together (esp. Green and Kirwan) they'd have been a serious threat to anyone you care to mention including the Stones/Beatles/Who/Led Zep/Cream...it is so desperately sad that Green and Kirwan ended up suffering so badly from mental illness/depression etc. Britain's finest ever guitar double act (yes, better than Keef and Mick !!).
Listen to the 3cd Live In Boston set if you haven't heard it...immense.

Check that. Mick Abrahams is still with us! Don't know what made me think otherwise .... Actually, I guess all of the early Tull lineups could theoretically still reunite.

The only original member in The Guess Who now is bass player Jim Kale. Cummings and Bachman are not there. Kale owns the rights to the name. It will never happen.

Three Dog Night doesn't include Chuck Negron or original bass player Joe Shermie who passed away many years ago. Negron has been black balled for life.

The Moody Blues can. Mike Pinder is still active but Ray Thomas has retired due too health reasons.

Keef & Mick is not a guitar duo. It's a brilliant & iconic(!) songwriters & producers duo - a.k.a. 'the Glimmer Twins'.

If you're refering to the Rolling Stones' guitar department '69-'74, then you mean Keef & Mick Taylor (or just "Taylor" or "Mick T." or "MT" or ...).

How about The Zombies? I may be mistaken but, to my knowledge, all the original band members are still around, and possibly still performing somewhere, I believe.....

What about The Hollies? Aren't they alive?

The Spencer Davis Group

Not to mention Jeremy Spencer going off the rails at one point and joining a cult. Every generation of that band seems to have had its demons.

Anyway, I think all the original Searchers are still with us (although Mike Pender tours with another band as "Mike Pender's Searchers). Also the Animals (probably all still fighting over the name).

Guess Who has gotten together as recently as ten or so years ago, so I wouldn't say never, maybe not full on tour. To another post, Zombies guitarist died a few years back, the other four played the O&O gigs a few years ago.

No, 2 Searchers are gone...Tony Jackson and Chris Curtis.
Animals - Chas dead.

Well, so much for the research I just did before posting.

Not thought of as 60s, but they do qualify. Black Sabbath.
