I thought this would be worth spinning off from the 1977 thread, where many people are chiming in on the topic. What are some examples you've seen? Or even haven't seen? Both the recent trend of using this as a selling point, or back in the days when artists would include them as part of a set list are OK.

Here's some I've seen. I'll probably remember more as I think about it.

Jethro Tull: Aqualung (spread throughout the show)
Deep Purple: Machine Head
Roger Waters: Dark Side Of the Moon; The Wall
Elton John: Captain Fantastic
Yes: The Yes Album; Close To the Edge
Bruce Springsteen: The Wild, the Innocent, & the E Street Shuffle; The River
Rush: Moving Pictures
Stevie Wonder: Songs in the Key Of Life

Brian Wilson - Pet Sounds

Styx: Grand Illusion; Pieces Of Eight
Mike Oldfield: Tubular Bells 2

Brian Wilson - Smile

Not a fan of these shows but I've seen and usually just because I wanted to see the other part of the show, not the whole album:

Boston-Third Stage
Rush-Moving Pictures
Asia-Asia
Yes-The Yes Album
Yes-Close To The Edge
Yes-Going For The One
Dream Theater-Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence
Marillion-Marbles
The Who-Quadrophenia (3 times)
King Diamond-Abigail
Iron Maiden-A Matter Of Life And Death
Roger Waters-The Dark Side Of The Moon
Roger Waters-The Wall
Billy Squier-Don't Say No
Kiss-Alive!

I'm thinking there's others but this is all I could remember...

Oh yeah, The Who doing Quadrophenia, on more than one tour. I saw Brian Wilson do Smile too.

Going way back, The Kinks doing all of Schoolboys in Disgrace.

Wish I had seen that. My first concert was when they were transitioning into the promotion of Sleepwalker.

Abbey Road (performed by Classic Albums Live)

If Dr. Jack reads this thread, he'll remember us seeing it together.

Kinks - Schoolboys In Disgrace

The Who - Tommy
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Pink Floyd - The Wall

Heart - Dreamboat Annie

Did not see it live but did see part of it on TV.

Patti Smith - Horses

Seen it 11 times already with another 3 coming up in March.

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Ian Anderson - Thick as a Brick II
Jethro Tull - A Passion Play

List so far includes:
Rancid - Out Come the Wolves
Fear Factory - Demanufacture
Weezer - Blue Album
and the Joshua Tree's coming up.

I'm okay with it as a gimmick set, as long as the album is worth it, and it's not the only thing they play. I have to be willing to go see the band without it, though.

The worst story I've heard of this set up was the Wu Tang Clan's performance of 36 Chambers here in Toronto, as not all of the Clan made it, and they used backing tracks for at least Killah and Methodman. I didn't see the set, but I heard the complaints.

Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend
The Zombies - Oddessey & Oracle

Echo & the Bunnymen: Ocean Rain

At least half of the shows on my list I saw with JohnG.

When you see Steven Wilson or previously Porcupine Tree, they play their latest album in almost its entirety. Not many acts play all their newest stuff in concert.

Rush - Moving Pictures
Kansas - Leftoverture
Who - Tommy (1989?)
Who - Quadrophenia (2012)
Brian Wilson - Pet Sounds

I saw Ozzy do all but two songs off "Blizzard Of Ozz" (minus "Dee" and "No Bone Movies") on the "Diary Of A Madman" tour in 1982.

The Who only played all of Tommy in NY and LA in 1989 but large chunks of it at each show.

Every Rush tour I saw from 1982-86 they played all but one song from Signals, Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows for each tour.

I didn't realize I was supposed to list one's I've seen
