While it would be great if the 40th anniversary celebrations included some Roxy gigs, I think that's unlikely to happen.
Putting the band together is expensive (for reasons J.O'B explained back in the summer) and would require a number of gigs to make it cost effective. Maybe the 2011 FYP tour should have been deferred for a year...
Reports suggest that the USA Olympia dates were well received, so it wouldn't shock me to see more BF gigs in the Americas in 2012. Maybe some European summer festivals too, if we're lucky.
I think BF will be out there plugging the anniversary set, but whether we'll see much of Phil, Andy & TGPT, I'm not sure.
I hope I'm wrong, though; everyone involved in the debut album & single (Eno included) should be embraced in the celebrations of its continued popularity.
