I never got to see The ‘Mats, because I didn’t discover them until after they’d broken up. And, I agree with you Paul & Tommy is not a reunion. MAYBE if Chris joined in you could call it a reunion of the original surviving members. . . but it was Rolling Stone’s link-baiting headline, not mine. I was just too lazy/hurried to change it.

However, if Paul & Tommy decided to put on a show, I’d be there.

Some shows smoked. The band was almost peerless. Occasionally I was inflicted to almost exquisitely painful/sloppy train wrecks. In either instance, the band had spirit. Maybe it’s just me, but when Bob left the group, I think much of that energy disappeared. It’s a worthy cause Paul and Tommy reuniting, but it’s still not the same.

Heck, even a Christmas show at First Avenue would be a start for Paul, Tommy, Kevin and whoever else they get!
