Yes, the Chameleons gigs were a dream come true. Pure gold!

  Standing at the front at The Academy seeing them come out on stage, even
remembering now makes the hairs tingle on the back of my neck (I saw two of
the witchwood shows prior) but never have I seen a crowd reaction like it.
Amazingly underrated band.

    The Chamelons comeback at the Academy (we missed the five small
Witchwood gigs beforehand) was awesome.  The years between had just seen
them mature as musicians.  We had approximately two years after that of
great live performances.  Yes initially many of us were disappointed with
the WCIA album but there are some standout tracks that got better with each
live performance.

    The Pixies - now THAT was a comeback....I think I blubbed through much
of the Brixton gig.

      I wouldn't personally say that The Chameleons come back CD "Why call
it anything" was dire, for a band that had not recorded together for 13
years particularly, however besides that "excuse", there are some good songs
on the album I think...fantastic gigs too, went to several, and Mark Burgess
as well live, brilliant,  always a great perfomer and great song writer.
Live in hope that they sort out their differences again though.

        Some recent favourites...
        Gang Of Four - the come back gig in Manchester was blistering, one
of the best gigs I've ever been to.
        Chameleons - again some fantstic come back gigs. The new (then) CD
was dire. Now split again.
        Senser - OK gigs, fantastic new CD. Still going.
        Pixies - great gigs and no more records. Still doing more gigs ?
        Would love to see the Sugarcubes gig in Iceland.

        Should get back together - the KJ of the WTF.../Revelations era

        Brian.

            I also liked the Bauhaus reunions. The '98 reunion was hailed as
better than their 80s
           performances, and the 2005 tour was even better than the '98
tour. IMO
          however Peter mellowed his performance, Daniel Ash (w/bass
backbone of David J)
          more than made up for. His playing is superphenomenal live.
             And Gang Of Four in 2005, tho' never saw 'em 1st time round,
were better than any
           rock gig i've ever seen. Also, i've never seen a better
channelling and incarnation of
          the crowd's primal urges during the show.

            As for KJ, a true experiment, yay verily, a True experiment
would be Geordie to
          reunite with Big Paul and Youth to record a CD of
what-ev-er-they-want.

masters that Tibetan chanting style of singing more than 1 note at a time;
chanting in fregkin' chords! Ha.]
