A Miles Davis/John Coltrane/Herbie Hancock late night show would be the best thing imaginable. Miles, John, Paul Chambers (Miles' long-time bassist), Wynton Kelly (pianist), and Jimmy Cobb (drums) could start and end the show with some stuff off of the greatest Jazz album of all-time, Kind of Blue...
In the middle, Herbie, John McLaughlin (guitar), and Harvey Brooks (electric bass) could bust in with some material off of Bitches Brew...
Then, again, end the show with the last jam off of Kind of Blue, "Flamingo Sketches"... damn...

Besides ones that have already been said:
Nick Drake Little Feat Humble Pie (Steve Marriot could wail)
Adding(ones that have been said):
The Beatles Pink Floyd Led Zeppelin Jimi Hendrix (Gypsy Sun and The Rainbows group -> Mitch Mitchell and Billy Cox) The Doors Marley Frank Zappa (specifically Mothers of Invention stuff) Sublime Jeff Buckley Marvin Gaye
Herbie Hancock playing a head hunters/bitches brew set with mahavishnu orchestra backing him...
Herbie Hancock is dead????
The way the initial post was written it seemed to also ask for bands that were just broken up, not necessarily just those with deceased members. I was kinda surprised Phish had not been mentioned because of this.

soundgarden
well, Soundgarden is dead, but with Rage reforming I wonder how long it will take for Soundgarden to follow suit...
I think Chris will stay a solo artist for a little while. Besides, their drummer, Matt Cameron, has been with Pearl Jam since '98 (the longest stint for any of their drummers) and I don't see him leaving them anytime soon.

The Velvet Underground. That would be THE indie act. I'd want James Brown, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix, and most of the other bands listed above.
