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.

They're getting quite pricey. Even lower tier bands are going for $50 plus in a small venue, which not that long ago would get you floor seats at an arena.
I was surprised to see Garbage tickets going for $29.00 for the upcoming tour.
I paid around $80 for nosebleeds for Blink, and I was one of the lucky ones who didn't get boned by dynamic pricing.

Really, genres are irrelevant

I only do small venues now. Smaller bands that try harder and better prices.

Rush has done 2112, but I'm not sure if they've done the whole album

Failure did a tour playing the Fantastic Planet album and they sounded incredible.

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.

Roger Waters and The Eagles come to mind. Both have done this in the past decade.

1000% that's why it's so important to ask people "what they're listening to" bc it could describe that chapter in their life

Student, when I study I often loop throughout the day. However I dive into an album before going to the next one (I also need to find something to get fixated, if it doesn't I listen it kinda normally, but it can get annoying wanting to listen something and not knowing what. A big fridge full of unfilling left overs)

The prices rose with inflation, and more importantly there have been obscene price hikes for touring industry expenses in particular. There’s actually a good chance prices will go down once these things subside. Over the past year, tons of the concerts I went to didn’t sell out and their tickets were selling well below face on Stubhub. Artists don’t want empty seats at their shows and they’ll price their tickets accordingly.

I mostly need to know it well enough to be able to background it. Not being an native English speaker helps, but for example the 6-8-times-a-day album was Italian so lol (I also liked the exam, which helped even though I hated what of the exam had to be studied).
I listen a lot of music, but that's my approach to the new one. I need to get fixated on something for a while to propey register it

Yes. People are paying these prices so there is no incentive for artists to charge less.

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 just saw the Gin Blossoms do this with New Miserable Experience to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its release. (Yes. That album is 30 years old)

Pricing is not going to decrease. People keep buying tickets at the prices available and the venues are selling out.

If you want it to be the new norm keep buying them at high prices. I stopped going to concerts years ago because I thought they were too high back then.

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.

That would have been great to see. Anchor Drops was my first taste of UM back in '06.
