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.

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

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.

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.
