band reunions vs the first time round

[Kounelaki]

Do you remember the first time? Some reunion shows might just be better …

Bunnymen mention.

In my opinion no matter how good a reformed band may be they can never recapture that first flush of excitement and youthful exuberance of the first time round.
I saw a poster advertising a reformed Deep Purple a few years ago - they all looked older than time itself!

hmm, the writer says his bit about the reunions he's seen and then qualifies it with the bad stuff he hasn't seen. Just saying.
