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.

If they were to tour, what other album would they play?

Squarepusher- Feed Me Weird Things
Dylan- Blood on the Tracks
Tribe- Low End Theory
Eno- Another Green World
Tom Waits- Rain Dogs, Heart of a Saturday Night, or if I could have been in the audience for Nighthawks

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.

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.
