A show normally consists of the crew first hunting down the ex-members of the band (often first in a ruse) one-by-one, and convincing them to agree for the one-time concert. The members are "contracted" by signing a record album by their former band. The band members are interviewed, usually focusing on the reasons of their disbandment. The final segment is the formal reunion of the band in the rehearsing studio, and a joint interview about having disbanded. If the reunion was successful, the episode ends with the final performance.

In 2005, VH1 attempted to reunite the British band the Smiths, but the show abandoned its attempt after Aamer Haleem unsuccessfully apprehended lead singer Morrissey before a show.
