Floyd's done DSOTM a couple times I think. I hear Pearl Jam's done Ten.

It is increasingly common, especially indie and rock acts. They can tie it in with a re-release and tour that album playing it in full. I have seen a handful of bands do it, the Super Furry Animals did their first two albums. Manic Street Preachers did the Holy Bible followed by a greatest hits encore. I saw Boris do one album and I didn't even realise it was a full album set. Fucked Up did one too, the David Comes to Life album. Works well for cult acts with older legendary albums that maybe they don't play many tracks of live in a normal set. Really exciting for the hardcore fans then.

Yeah hip-hop artists might do it as well, Nas did Illmatic several years ago

I caught the 20th anniversary tour Clash of the Titans. Megadeth, Slayer and Testament each had an album that was 20 years old: Rust in Peace, Seasons in the Abyss and Souls of Black. Every set began with their respective album, played start to finish. Those are either my absolute or among my favorite albums by those bands so it was great to hear all of the deep cuts live.

I’ve heard Springsteen play Born in the USA and Pearl Jam play 10 both nose to toes as I like to call it. It’s always an exciting moment when you realize this is what the artists is doing.

Going into the Springsteen show I was aware an album would be played but not which one and the PJ playing of Ten was a total surprise.

Between the Buried and Me doing Colors. That was a fantastic show.

Every Coheed and Cambria Neverender show.

That was the thing, I got into the Manics around 98/99 when they were heading more into mellow chart territory. They never played stuff like that, so seeing the Holy Bible in full was like a dream come true. It was in the grounds of Cardiff Castle too.

Coheed and Cambria does this every five years or so with tours they call "Neverender." They're getting ready to do one this spring/summer for their album "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV Volume II: No World For Tomorrow"

I have tickets to see They Might Be Giants doing Flood plus a second set of greatest hits.

I caught Peter Murphy and David J touring for the anniversary of In the Flat Field. They did every song except Crowds, which Peter Murphy had not played live since the album was released. They had an opening act chosen specifically to play that song. Eventually later in the tour he would come out and sing it.

Not the original artists, but there is a group called Sargent Peppercorn's Lonely Hearts Club Band that comes together once a year in Columbus, Ohio and plays every Beatles album in a 13-hour marathon, usually along with a solo album from one of the Beatles members and a few tracks by the others.

They have the blessing of Paul and Ringo, both of whom have recorded introductions for the show.

Around 2008, I saw Sonic Youth play all of "Daydream Nation" at the McCarron Park pool in Brooklyn. I think that it was the anniversary of its initial release. Good fun, and The Slits opened up. I had never seen The Slits before, so a good night overall.

It really is. From Rubber Soul onwards, the Beatles were strictly a studio band. They had to figure out how to do on stage what the Beatles did with a full studio. They have more musicians and modern technology, but Revolution #9 is challenging, and they make Tomorrow Never Knows an absolute banger live. Plus they play everything without breaks. They do rotate musicians, so individuals can sit out a few songs to eat and pee, but they keep going for 13 hours solid.

Primus has done it several times. They've performed Sailing the Seas of Cheese, Frizzle Fry, Pork Soda, Green Naugahyde, Wonka, and Desatruating Seven. Most recently, they toured performing Rush's "A Farewell to Kings" in its entirety. Les Claypool's Frog Brigade is gearing up to perform Pink Floyd's "Animals" this Spring, which they also did 20 years ago.

I've seen Steely Dan perform Aja in its entirety. They were doing a tour where they would play it one night, then The Royal Scam the next.

I once saw Roger Waters perform Dark Side of the Moon. He's also toured The Wall.

I also once saw Reel Big Fish perform Turn the Radio Off except they skipped Beer and saved it for the encore.

They Might Be Giants tour performing all of Flood (sometimes in reverse order) every few years.

Many years ago, Weezer toured performing Blue Album one night, then Pinkerton the next.

I saw Mercury Rev play all of Deserters Songs and The Lemonheads do all of It's A Shame About Ray. Both excellent but Evan Dando was a little bit worse for wear and looked like he had just crawled out of a skip/dumpster.

As someone who saw Dream Theater 2 or 3 times on the original Images & Words tour, that would have been amazing. That was one of my favorite albums at the time. They played a few songs from it, but also their stuff from When Dream & Day Unite.

Of all the bands I've seen live, the only one I remember doing a full album all the way through was Queensryche doing Operation Mindcrime. That was pretty cool.

Between the Buried and Me have done this at various point with almost every album they’ve released.

Mastodon has done it with most of theirs, too.

Pink Floyd has many, many times.

Primus, Glassjaw, The Mars Volta, Failure, Father John Misty, AFI, Brand New, Thrice, Coheed & Cambria, Dredg, Smashing Pumpkins, City & Colour, Alkaline Trio… those are just ones that I’ve seen do just this.

Lots and lots of rock bands do this when they’ve had several albums and one album in particular was most successful / well-known.

I saw the Alkaline Trio perform Goddamnit from top to bottom. Years later they played a series of shows at the same venue, performing two albums in their entirety each night.

On a similar note, watching a film with the soundtrack performed live is awesome. Got to see Amadeus and 2001: a Space Odyssey with symphony orchestras (2001 was especially awesome). I also got to see Goblin perform to Suspiria, which was badass, but the follow-up set they played was even better.

I saw Elvis Costello doing all of Imperial Bedroom, though I’m not sure he did it all in order, just made sure to do all the songs every night.

I saw the Who do Quadrophenia, and saw the Tubes doing the Completion Backward Principle. Steely Dan did a tour a few years back with multiple nights in the same city and a different album each night. Missed that one
