For me personally of course it would be great if the boys reunited for a concert either in St. John's, Newfoundland or Canada. The tweet however, did remind me of the couple divorcing who asked if all their family and friends could pay for their divorce settlement.
Fans were generally excited and positive about the possibility of a concert. I enjoyed reading the fan's tweets. They shared some of their favourite concerts and how much the band and their music had meant in their lives.
I have copied some of the tweets here. I have removed the name of the person to protect their privacy. All comments are from the post on Sean McCann's official Twitter account. As always no copyright infringement intended.
C'mon lads. The world is such a mess right now. A good old fashion #GBS kitchen party will set things right!
World today can be a scary place. Hard to keep your faith in the human race. We're running out of trees and we're running out of space but we'll never run out of good people :)
I've always respected all you b'ys as individual performers, but for this fan, the sum of Great Big Sea was always greater than its parts. I've missed the hell out of you all, particularly in these dark times down here in the States. If GBS takes to the stage again I'll be there!
Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die! You now have me humming the tunes. #LOVE #GreatBigSea
Two Words: SOLD OUT
Love you together as #GreatBigSea and love you individually. You guys do what makes you happy and your fans will be there to support you either way. Seriously though....So cool.
There are thousands of #GreatBigSea fans who would be beyond excited to see the band back together again and participate in the world's biggest kitchen party. Whenever, whereever, we will be there!
Great Big Sea is one of a very few bands that I’d see live every time they played near me. I have nothing but love for you boys you seen me through my worst and my best and I appreciate it. #nothingbutlove #gbs #fromthetropicalislandofnewfoundland
Great Big Sea is a band that consistently brought together three generations of my family. To see you together again would bring us all so much joy! But your family and health comes first @seanmccannsings . Love you all no matter what.
All the love!! I miss GBS! My first outdoor concert in #LdnOnt #westernfair and @alanthomasdoyle signed the Up CD cover - Sean you were there too but I was a shy 14 yo. If it’s healthy, please come back.
Lots of love left for #GreatBigSea. When are tickets going on sale?
The most important part is your friendship with each other. It was hard to see you guys in bad shape, in a bad break up after so many years together. But with that being said...Sean, you know me enough to know I would give anything to be at that reunion show! I miss GBS!
There will always be love for GBS along with love for each and every one of you. Sometimes in life our paths change but we never know where the future will take us.
OMG - in for sure!! Would live a chance to bring my two kids to see GBS live!! You're the one group we all agree on in the car!Dude. We would all flip shit immediately at the THOUGHT of any type of reunion. One of my fondest memories was the concert at the Aitken Center in 2004 where the power went out and Rant and Roar was sang acapella by everyone in the rink. Would love to relive those memories.
Seán...Alan...Bob...I would love to see you b'ys on stage together again. Your individual journeys since the last time have been fascinating, and will add to the richness of your music as a set. Please consider it.
Uhhhh Hell yes there are people out there that want a Great Big Sea reunion!
Sean, our love for GBS hasn’t gone anywhere. We’ve all been wondering if *you* still had any left. Glad to see you with @alanthomasdoyle, @bobhallett Bring it on.
New Years Eve 2013 I flew from Vancouver to Moncton to see the last show. I'd book a flight right now to see the first show there, or anywhere.
A Great Big Sea show would be amazing, But only if it is healthy, safe and positive for all involved. Once and forever a fan of Great Big Sea.
Of course there is love for GBS. There always has been. It helps us (at least me) get through the darkest days... still. But the best part of this is that the three of you are bridging the brotherhood again, and whatever else may happen, that is the best part.
In a word: Yes. I'd love to hear how different your vibe is now that you're all aware of what was causing the pain. The sound of empathy & forgiveness: Can you imagine?
I’ve enjoyed GBS since my university days @ UNB from the gigs at the lower deck to the ballroom at the SUB! My kids are teens and they love GBS! We are headed to NL this summer for our vacation due in part to your influence! Was very happy to see the pic of the three of you!!
Plenty of love b'ys
I know life goes on and you guys are doing incredible things. But there will always be love for GBS. I'm sorry that it wasn't always as much joy for you guys as it was for us. You guys will never fully know just how much joy you brought all those years.
Sean, I think everyone is just happy you are in a happy place once again...that being said the 3 of ye would sell out any venue you wanted to play and I personally would love to see it!!
Lots of love left for the band and for all of you individually. I would show up for any show that any or all of you do in a location near me. Maybe you could include @MurrayFoster1 @krismacdrum too.
