SoulAlive said: I don't see a reunion tour as "exploiting the fanbase".Most of their longtime fans have been dying for something like this.Even Lionel laments the fact that they never got the chance to do a farewell tour.
Based on the unreferenced quote above, it seems clear a farewell tour would be exactly that: exploitative. Then add in sentimental nostalgia. I guess it's not all that bad, but reunion albums tend to suck and nobody really wants to hear those new songs. test | |

lionel A: If I had one basic thing to change in my whole life story, there would be a Commodore reunion — a Commodore tour, a farewell tour at least. That’s the only thing that we missed out on in this whole story. On (my) tour coming up — its going to be a big tour coming up — somewhere in the middle of this tour we are going to surprise a few people and show up with the Commodores, just to set the groundwork for something that may come in the future. that sounds hopeful  | |

Indeed  I like that song too.
I left off "Three Times A Lady" even though it's one of their biggest hits.Personally,I like the song,but I know that many people think it's too sappy and schmaltzy. | |
