The re-union tour. Some are sad. Some beg the question, why? My favorite is when only one original member uses the name to pass themselves off as the complete band from back in the day. And if the only original member is the drummer, it rules. Duran Duran kick the trend by getting all five of the members back on the road for a North American tour for 2005. After doing dates in 2003 for the 25th Anniversary “78-03″ Tour, the first time they all played together since Live Aid in 1985, the band went back into the studio to record Astronaut. Simon, John, Andy, Roger and Nick are older and wiser, and maybe minus a nasal septum or two, but you gots to give them props. How would the Brooklynite herd know how to dress if not for “Rio” and “The Reflex”?
