The band reunited in the 1980's and haved played one or more dates per year each year since that time, usually in support of local charities.  Their play list is pretty much the same as it was in the 60's - lots of Wailers, Viceroys, and other Northwest music mixed with early Stones, Beatles, etc. from that period.

Glen Smith and Mike Bolan joined the San Francisco group Mount Rushmore after the Fabulous Shadows broke apart.

Being in high school in 1964 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho meant you danced to the Fabulous Shadows.  They were as much a part of our lives as Coeur d'Alene Lake, Playland Pier, and Robbie's Drive-in .  I joined the Vibrants in 1965, and the Shadows were our inspiration and musical mentors.
