The Long Run
Posted on 10th September 2011
An after gig conversation recently brought up an interesting musical feat (question 1). Although I was fairly certain of the answer, I did a bit of research, which aside from confirming my answer, also raised some further related questions. I posted three of these to my Facebook wall initially, but felt they deserved a wider post here.
See if you can work out the answers:
- Which band has the longest consistent line-up still featuring all the original members?
- Which band has the longest consistent line-up of the current members?
- Which band has the longest consistent line-up of the original members, before a change in line-up?
- Regardless of line-up changes which is the longest running band?
In all cases the bands are still major touring and recording artists today, and none have broken up and then later reformed.
I'll give answers to these in a follow-up post next week.
