Has this topic been done already?
This seems to be a growing trend. Sonic Youth, Mission of Burma, Slint, Oneida, etc.. playing one of their albums live. Springsteen just played Darkness on the Edge of Town followed by Born to Run at a small club in the Garden State.
Who would you like to see?
-
i've mentioned this a zillion and half times but getting to see the Smithereens do "Especially For You" several years ago was amazing...
-
not that they have the talent anymore to do it, but how about beastie boys do paul's boutique?
jane's addiction do ritual de lo habitual.
the orb do u.f.orb.
-
I'd like to see Drive By Truckers do Born to Run.
-
I saw Joe Jackson perform Blaze of Glory live.
-
Seeing Love do Forever Changes was one of the greatest concert experiences ever...
Would have loved to have been at that springsteen show.

JaMC - Psychocandy/Darklands

Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde

I saw Social Distortion play "Mommy's Little Monster", but the cool thing is that it wasn't advertised as such. They just came out and rocked it.
This is what I would love to see:
Social D -- Somewhere Between Heaven & Hell
PJ Harvey -- Rid of Me
Pixies -- Doolittle
Queens of the Stone Age -- Rated R
-
XTC playing any album live.
-
How about if they did REO Speedwagon's "You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish"?

I saw the Candy Snatchers do the first Ramones album in its entirety down in VA beach about 15 years ago.
-
Sonic Youth - Experimental Jet Set, Trash & No Star
the Strokes - Is this it
Nine Inch Nails - the Downward Spiral
David Bowie - Almost any of his 70's albums
Cat Stevens - Same as Bowie

Wasn't this simply their first two or three years touring?
-
but do the bands have to play it like the album (studio sound and boring (compared to future live song versions) originality) or some reverbed out artistic masterpiece, one tune at a time. nothing worse than "interpretations" of an album, even if by the real band.

I was overseas for a lot of that, and never got to see them.

Really? Sweet Shine's one of the few songs I like off of that one.

Venerable,
I came across the setlist from my first Red House Painters show, back at the old Shushmere from Sept. 1993.
Japanese to English
Drop
Shadows (first 3 songs were Mark and Gorden only)
Strawberry Hill (the rest of the set was full band)
Shock Me
Dragonflies
Katy Song
New Jersey
Mother
-------------
Michael (the encore was Mark solo)
Grace Cathedral Park
Mistress
I wish to God that I could find a copy of any show from that tour. It was one of those nights I really won't forget.
-

Why would they play anything else?
We could let them play Feeling Satisfied and Don't Look back in the encore and call it a night. And on the odd chance someone was named Amanda in the crowd (and they would have to ask), they could play a small part of Amanda before busting into Let Me Take you Home Tonight.
The Perfect Night.
-
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me (this really happened)
Joanna Newsom - Ys

well, their best song (this is the dream of evan and chan) isn't on that album
-
Ditto Blonde on Blonde
Pink Floyd - Meddle
Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
Flaming LIps - Soft Bulletin
Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane . . .
Stone Roses - s/t
Guns N Roses - Appetite
-
I saw Pink Floyd play Dark Side of the Moon, sans Roger Waters of course, but that was still pretty cool. I know they have done The Wall as well.
-

Pink Floyd - Meddle
I've seen this. It was at the Lyric Theatre in Baltimore. Very small, acoustically perfect and a totally no frills show. Just before they got really big in the States and all the "Rock and Roll!!" (fall over and roll on the floor with their Bics) burnouts got into them. Very nice.
Also saw them there again a year later for the original release of Dark Side Of The Moon. Nothing at all like what that stage show eventually turned into once it got another boost of this release a year or so later. It was very intimate and all about the music instead of some big stage production. No irritating fans either.
-
Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane
Nothing else even comes close, but some others i'd like to see are
Pink Floyd - The Wall(i know its been done lots of times, but ive never seen it)
Radiohead - OK Computer
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Dave Matthews Band - Before These Crowded Streets
Verve - Urban Hymns
-
Ash has just announced they are performing 1977 live next Friday in London.
Would love to see that one

They did this at the end of the Green tour. They played all of Murmur followed by all of Green.

i was wondering if this was the show that just got added to this thread :D
-
Reportedly Clinic is playing their new album from beginning to end on the current tour. After that, they come back onstage and play the older stuff.

This happened once, I think on one of the Lollapalooza shows in 94. Played the whole album straight through, in order, then the encore was Gish material.
-
I guess it might just be me, but I rather see a band play an album straight through only if it did have a conceptual base to it. Like I guess a lot of the SY albums qualify, Dark Side, Tommy and others.
-
Ben Folds doing the first Ben Folds Five self-titled album.
-
Watching Husker Du doing all of "Warehouse: Songs and Stories" would have been pretty awesome too, I love that record even though a lot of people (including the band) didn't really think it was very good. But I think it's an incredibly underrated record. On that tour they would play it every single night, in order, from start to finish.
I just remembered that one time I saw KMFDM play their "Nihil" record in order, from start to finish.
-
i'd love to see dark star orchestra do an entire show of original music and not dead covers.

oops - make that tonight 5/16 - not last night. Still just a rumor though.

too bad it's phil doing this, or it would be cool. "donate your liver so alcoholics like me can have another chance." maybe bobby will cut his mike like the good ole days of the other ones.
-
Superchunk - No Pocky for Kitty
Tom Robinson Band - Power Into Darkness
Pond - 1st release
Volcano Suns - Bumper Crop
GBV - Alien Lanes or Bee Thousand or both
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffitti
Suicide - 1st release
Bowie - Man Who Sold the World
BJM - Strung Out in Heaven
Stones - Satanic Majesties Request
J&MC - Psychocandy
Ice T - Power
Shaggs - 1st release
Talking Heads - Remain in Light
It's tough to come up with newer bands because you end up still hearing almost all of the good cuts early on anyway.
Iggy and the Stooges - Metallic KO
Mothers of Invention - Freak Out
And anything by Sly and the Family Stone
More bands should do this. Fans love that kind of thing. I could go on all night with this scenario.

From tinymixtapes:
Fact: The Donâ??t Look Back concert series is influencing the music community outside of the ATP world. How do I know this? Well, word just got in that Liz Phair will perform Exile In Guyville in its entirety June 25 in New York!
The performance will take place at the Hiro Ballroom and is expected to be Phair alone on acoustic guitar, Ã la MTV Unplugged, the show that may very well have invented the acoustic guitar. Coincidentally, the event is just a day after the release of the Exile In Guyville reissue, which contains three unreleased B-sides ("Ant in Alaska," "Say You," and an untitled instrumental), as well as a DVD titled Guyville Redux. The ultra, mega, super deluxe reissue will be released digitally, physically, and vinyl-ly through ATO Records.
Tickets for the NY performance go on sale Wednesday, with Chicago and San Francisco events planned for the very near future. Pretty cool stuff, but itâ??d be much cooler to me if it were "Liz Phair to Perform Exile In Guyville In Wisconsin!"
Pretty cool, but I wouldn't go to NYC for it. If it were in DC, yeah.
-
Listening to the Rosebuds 1st LP, I would add that to my list. Such a great record, those guys don't get nearly enough attention.
Too bad New Order sucks so much as a live band, how cool would it be to see "Substance" performed from start to finish?
I also think it would be pretty cool to see X play "Under the Big Black Sun", which is my favorite LP of theirs. Can't wait to see them Wednesday.

original (usa movie) cast of rocky horror picture show.

Ugh. Raping a loud cat with a dental drill would be more pleasing-sounding than this.
-
DAMMIT. This album is on my list! Of just three:
- L. Phair, Exile
- K. Bush, Hounds of Love
- B. Mould, Workbook
But, I can't go to NY in the middle of the week...again (I'm going for Echo & the Bunnymen doing "Ocean Rain" with a symphony in October).

Well, if only I could be in NYC in August as Manuel Gottsching is playing E2-E4 accompanied by visuals done by the Joshua Light Show as part of the Wordless Music Series. (http://www.wordlessmusic.org/) And its all for free.

They sure didn't suck at the Ontario Theatre when I saw them. At least I didn't think so nor did those around me.
