They didn't mention Steppenwolf.... That band came to a town I lived in many years ago.... I was going to go since it was at a medium sized night club and a good view was possible anywhere in the joint.
Something came up and I was unable to attend. A buddy who did go told me later that the band was horrible. Nothing sounded like the records we all knew. Only one of the folks on stage were part of the original band. I think there were lawsuits filed by other original members who also wanted to book as "Steppenwolf".

Not fully rock, but I've been told Blood Sweat & Tears is still active with some overlap of performers and material.

I saw Earth, Wind and Fire on Saturday night. Their first gig in Hong Kong in 45 years of touring. 3 original founding members. A great gig but not a huge audience. Hopefully next time, they'll be more attending. A great evening had by most and some tip top playing

Love TOP but they have a ton of new members too. There was a show a few years ago, their 45th anniversary reunion or something featuring everybody who was ever in the band. That was about how many were on stage too. A slight exaggeration, it was maybe 15-20.
Are we feeling like our parents yet? Remember them talking about how the big bands were the end of an era, the last of "real music" etc, etc? How Elvis, the Beatles, Santana and everybody else was pure crap? Lamenting when those guys started dying off?
Funny how everything eventually comes full circle. Another 10 years and all these groups will either be gone or in nursing homes. At least I'm having fun right now. My jazz gigs have been drying up for the last few years but I'm in a couple of classic rock and blues bands doing screaming B3 and rockin piano stuff.
An example of changing crowds I did the Catalina Yacht Club in Avalon on July 4th. They did want the usual jazz dinner set so I did it with the sax player but while we were doing the last song the Commodore came over to the bandleader who was sitting right behind me (who can't spell the word jazz) and said literally "You're going to be loud right? We want you to blow the doors off." Opening song? Gimme Some Lovin. And the last song of the night? Innagaddavida. In the middle was Joe Cocker, Santana, the Stones etc. When's the last time anybody heard that in a yacht club? I've almost forgotten how to play Green Dolphin Street and instead I'm digging up Iron Butterfly and the Doors.
I was totally burned out on that stuff in the 80's but now it's kinda fun.

One band who never toured under their original name after they broke up..... The Beatles.
One band who had about 4 or 5 versions of it, all touring under the original name in spite of lawsuits.... The Platters.

One time flying out of Detroit about 7 or 8 years ago, waiting at our gate to board my coworker and I were noticing how sharply dressed these older and younger guys were that were also waiting at the same gate. Finally I got up the nerve to ask the older gentleman sitting next to me who the group was. I had already been making small talk with him and the much younger guitar player who had a sweet gig bag for his electric guitar, and he kindly told me: We're the Spinners. I'm pretty sure the gentleman I was speaking with was Henry Fambrough, but I can't be certain. It didn't seem right to ask for an autograph. A couple of the surviving original members have passed away according to Wikipedia. They've gone through many lineups over the decades.

I heard the story that when they called him up and told them who they were, he hung up on the boys in the band because he thought one of his buddies was pulling a prank on him. They called back and he hung up again. They called back again and yelled "Don't hang up!!"... and he didn't. Next thing he knew he was in the US in a rehearsal hall with the band getting ready to hit the road on tour. Talk about your "Cinderella moment".... huh?

How could Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers be left out? BTW, if you ever want to see the quintessential Rock documentary watch "Running Down A Dream."

FYI and PSA for those of you with a library card to a library that participates in the FREEGAL service:
A whole bunch of the music from these bands is available for completely free and legal DRM-free download of 5 songs a week.
If you don't feel like downloading, there's another service that your library might participate in called Hoopla which will allow you to digitally check out albums 10 of them a month for a week a time each.
I listened to some recent Asia a few weeks ago, and their sound has aged and progressed very well. Downes still has great pipes.
What is available on both services seems to shift around, but it's more than you can listen to continuously. I was a Freegal junkie, but lately Hoopla has been reigning supreme. So much back catalog stuff I can't get my hands on, that I don't necessarily feel like owning, I can stream as an album (my preference).

The only "Famous" band that I've ever seen that still had all original members was Dr Hook back in the 80s. I saw The Hollies last year (2 original members) and The Beach Boys a few years ago with Mike Love as the only original (perhaps you can consider Bruce Johnston as "almost" an original) I saw the Glen Miller Orchestra last year... very disappointed - no original members. 
Cheers,
Keith

Ha! There's a lesson in there about always picking up the phone or something. I would've just kept on hanging up forever and ever and ever and ever...

I saw the Glen Miller Orchestra last year... very disappointed - no original members. Well, I guess that since Glenn was never found after disappearing back in, what was it, 1944?, there is always the possibility that he could show up to lead the band. Of course, he would be 112 years old.

Journey-Arnel does a GREAT job! He ads A LOT of energy to them live as well. If you get a chance, check out some of his videos prior to the band. There are many of him live, and that guy can sing almost anything!
I had a fun discussion with someone when right after Arnel joined the band...
He said "I really like the original Journey line up!"
I simply asked, "Really? Before Steve Perry was in the band?"
He didn't know that SP wasn't an original member.
Then again, neither was Johnathan Cain.
Even Steve Smith, I want to say, was their 3rd drummer. Get this, Prairie Prince was their first drummer!
It's funny when you look at how many of those band members have teamed up in other bands together.
Interesting stuff.

Some of them are no longer classic rock bands but instead tributes of their former selves.
Examples: IMHO Blood, Sweat & Tears without David Clayton Thomas is not BST -- Beach Boys without Brian and Carl Wilson are not The Beach Boys -- Queen without Freddie Mercury -- Chicago without Terry Kath and so on.
No thank you.
It would be like Led Zeppelin without Page and Plant.

Interesting point. I was just listening to clip from the Queen concert in HK and, whilst I could see that everyone was having a lot of fun with a great light show etc, but to me, Adam Lambert sounds nothing like Freddie Mercury. I'm sure he's great, but I don't regret giving it a miss as it no longer had any meaning for me.

I don't see anything particularly wrong with bands that keep going on and on after the founding members have left the stage. I don't think they should continue with the same exact name though. But I do understand their desire to keep the name and the credibility it gives them.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
