===1982β2001: Reunion and alternate lineup=== Strawberry Alarm Clock reunited once again in 1982 after guitarist Freeman spotted a newspaper ad promoting an appearance by the group at a Los Angeles club, The Music Machine. Freeman knew nothing about this gig and went to the club to investigate. There he discovered that the advertisement had actually been a plot by the club's owners to get the real band to reunite. At this point, Freeman, Bunnell, Weitz, and Gunnells reformed as Strawberry Alarm Clock. They were joined in 1983 by singer Leo Gaffney and Freeman's brother, Doug. By 1983, the Strawberry Alarm Clock lineup was Freeman, Bunnell, Peter Wasner (keyboards), and James Harrah (guitar). "Incense and Peppermints" was re-recorded the same year with a lineup of Freeman, Bunnell, Harrah, Bartek, and Clay Bernard (keyboards), with Bob Caloca on lead vocals. The remake was produced by Dennis Dragon (brother of [[Daryl Dragon]]), who also played percussion on the track. Freeman, Bunnell, Harrah, and Bernard continued on, with Seol rejoining. Seol left again in 1984, and Harrah and Bernard were replaced by actor/musician [[Jon Walmsley]] (guitar, keyboards, vocals). Bruce Hubbard, who had earlier played with Bunnell in Buffington Roads, took over percussion duties. Walmsley was out by 1986, replaced by guitarist Howie Anderson along with a returning Bernard. Anderson also handled keyboard parts via his synth guitar after Bernard left once again, this time to relocate to [[New Mexico]] at the end of the 1980s. The band began performing on oldies concert tours during the 1980s, often alongside other late-1960s acts such as [[Moby Grape]], [[the Seeds]], and [[It's a Beautiful Day]]. The Freeman/Bunnell/Hubbard/Anderson lineup became their longest-lasting, continuing from 1989 to 2001. During this period, members worked on new material, made occasional concert appearances, and pursued other individual careers. Meanwhile, in 1982, late-1960s Strawberry Alarm Clock member Pitman was performing with a band called Thunderchicken in [[Salt Lake City]], [[Utah]], and decided to form his own version of Strawberry Alarm Clock. He teamed up with Preston Kofoed (bass), Mordecai Noble (guitar), Dave Stone (keyboards), and Dave "Plumb" Derrick (drums). This version of the group played a benefit for the [[Vietnam War|Veterans of the Vietnam War]] at New Faces Roadhouse and toured extensively throughout the western US before disbanding a few years later in [[Jackson, Wyoming]].
