The band reformed in 2005 and continue to be active with a line-up of Hammill, organist Hugh Banton, and drummer Guy Evans.

There is a concert missing from this list. On 9 January 1971, Van Der Graaf Generator played at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. Also on the bill were Lindisfarne and Arc and Bell. I know this as I was there. I’ve also cross checked with Microsoft CoPilot who has confirmed the date and place.
