Post by: sweetcell on December 31, 2012, 02:55:23 pm: The Wall was a pretty damn good album-show, but the theatrics were obviously a big help there. NIN doing the downward spiral at webster hall must have been pretty epic.

i'd pay big bucks to see the surviving members of Led Zep perform any album ;D

Zep is a perfect example of a band you would not want to see do an entire album.. they have at least 5 perfect albums with the others being just one step below.. they are chock full of great songs throughout their entire career and no particular album sticks out as being the "best"

Truly the gold standard of albums re-done live.

Saw this at the Birchmere. The most amazing live show I've ever seen. Jaw-dropping. Stunning.

I'm pretty sure no show I'll ever see will come close.

Post by: kosmo vinyl on January 02, 2013, 02:10:10 pm: Co-signed on Chaz's experience, even my wife who is a very casual Love listener enjoyed the show.

My list

The Go - Whatcha Doin (original line-up)
Soviet League - Soviet League
Stone Roses - Second Coming
Paul Weller - either Wildwood or Stanley Road
13 Engines - Any of them

Husker Du - Zen Arcade

will never happen.

Post by: StoneTheCrow on January 02, 2013, 03:05:54 pm: I'd go to see that. Agree that it will never happen, though.

Can't think of anything else.

Post by: bearman🐻 on January 02, 2013, 06:56:35 pm: Too many Grant Hart songs though to do any Husker LP.

I've been really happy with most "album" shows I've seen. One of my favorites was "the Black Album" by the Damned. The Echo & the Bunnymen shows for Crocodiles and Heaven Up Here were terrific too.

The one I'd really love to see is The Feelies doing "Crazy Rhythms", but it'd be cool to see that with Anton Fier (even though I love Stan Demeski as a drummer).

Post by: azaghal1981 on January 02, 2013, 08:52:27 pm: I have enjoyed all the ones I have seen but as stated in the JA thread, I did think "hurry up and finish so that you can play other shit" during them all. The Buzzcocks albums were pretty cool and have not yet been mentioned.
