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 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

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.
