Tribute bands or bands/artists making a comeback..any favorites out there??

Back when I was young I had the pleasure to see Led Zeppelin and Queen live in concert. Later I saw Robert Plant and Jimmy Page together. Nothing beats seeing the great musical artists of their era.
Now that I am an old fart, the original bands are gone (mostly) I have seen Zoso some years ago and was invited to see Killer Queen by a young friend discovering Queen's music for the first time. Those guys were good! Anyone out there fans of certain Tribute bands or bands getting back together to tour again.

I saw a really good Eagles tribute band out of Vancouver, B.C. last year: Eagle Eyes. Perfect 3- and 4-part harmonies, excellent musicianship. I'm not a big Eagles fan, but these guys nail it.

Hell’s Belles are an all-female AC/DC tribute band. They are talented and a lot of fun to go see.

Check out - The Belfast Cowboys - They are a Van Morrison Tribute Band and also do originals, in a style similar to Van Morrison. Check out their original - "Looking for the Northern Lights". Not just a great tribute song. It's a Great song, period......

"The Musical Box" does a very good and authentic classic Genesis show.

Another very fun one based out of Baltimore/DC metro area:

I'm sure I'm in the minority but going out to see a tribute band isn't my thing at all.  I love seeing live music but I overwhelmingly prefer listening to and watching someone create their own original music and putting their unique voice on it, regardless of talent level.  It's so much more soul stirring even if the composition isn't as brilliant as a well-known band/musician being played by others.  I realize you can watch a cover band play and it's fun, nostalgic, and often a party but that's not what lures me to see live music.
