Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx Metamatic Live official cd release?

This 'whole album' performance wheeze is a fast-growing trend, and the premiering of the whole newbie live is its latest facet. Other whole album shows either played or confirmed I can think of are:

Sparks - Lil' Beethoven' and Hello Young Lovers.

The Zombies - Odessey And Oracle.

Roger Waters - Dark Side Of The Moon.

Jeff Wayne - The War Of The Worlds

The Cherry Bluestorms - Transit Of Venus

Gary Numan - Telecon and Replicas

Also, David Gilmour performed his last album 'On An Island' on his tour last year - first half of the concert the album, the second half the war chest...

Oh yeah. Released on DVD and forgotten by many. Including me :rolleyes:

You are lucky, K. I never even got a chance to forget it.

also:

omd - architecture & morality

love - forever changes

sonic youth - daydream nation

gza/genius - liquid swords

slint - spiderland

etc etc.

i can understand this if the album is somehow special and especially if it's not been played live before, but doing it for every album would get a bit boring and pointless.

still, the garden live would be great!

Hmmm, I wonder which, if any, of these 'whole album' gigs presented the tracks in the exact order as they appeared on the album

I was at the Roger Waters DSOTM gig but cannot remember if the songs were done in order :rolleyes:

Even when they recorded the album, they did not know if it was in order.

I was at a Sparks Hello Young Lovers whole album performance and that was indeed done in the order as per the cd.

I think the Human League are on/were on recently a Dare tour where they did the album.

It probably was the 'Dare' tour, as some people wished it had been a 'Travelogue' one instead. Theres still a chance for the 'Travelogue' one.
