I wonder for bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest that have been making music for forty damn years, how hard it gets picking the songs for just random shows when they're not supporting their latest album. They're not just a nostalgia act that plays the same greatest hits they had 20 years ago.

Yeah, it was 2006 with a matter of life and death, which although 18 years ago is considered one of the newer ones. I was actually pleased as that was I think my 4th time seeing then (currently at 13) and that meant I was going to hear alot of songs for the first time. I also loved the album as well so it was all good for me. It did make a pleasant change as bands when they get to a certain age do tend to rely on their glory days and just play the hits. It was refreshing to see a band so proud of their current work and not become a cabaret act (even though maiden to occasional do History tours)

Green Day has been doing it all Summer. It's the 3Oth anniversary of Dookie and the 20th Anniversary of American Idiot and they're playing both in their entirety (with a half dozen other songs thrown in. Saw them last week at Fenway and it was tremendous (they were with Rancid and Smashing Pumpkins, both of whom were also great)

I remember Judas Priest doing Nostradamus when they released that one. There supposedly was talks about how they wanted to, which I think is BS, because they only playesd two songs off Nostradamus. However, they did play the Entire British Steel album the next year.

Seeing Death live would have been incredible.

Got another one lined up as of this morning: The Sex Pistols, with Frank Carter replacing Johnny Rotten, performing "Never Mind the Bollocks" next month at the O2 Academy in Birmingham.

Saw Springsteen’s final show at the Spectrum in 2009 and he played Born in the USA in its entirety. He did Born to Run twice and Darkness on the Edge of Town the previous nights.

One of my favourite takes was from Bowling For Soup.
Saw a clip from the start of a tour, an anniversary one for one of their albums. The singer came out first and basically said:
"Ok, so everyone's happy here, but you won't be. The record label made us put all the hits at the start of the album, so for the next 20 minutes you'll have an amazing time, after an hour, a lot of you will be "wtf were we thinking" and leave that's ok, but bear with us, after the end of the album we'll play the other songs you know and it'll rock"

only one I saw live do it was They Might be Giants playing Flood. The road to actually getting to that concert was like 3 years in the making I was originally supposed to see it LITERALLY the friday that NYC shut down for COVID. Finally rescheduled and was ready to go in late 2022... then one of the Johns is in a car accident immediately following their first show back on the road, causing all shows to be postponed again for like 6 months.

saw Brian Wilson play Pet Sounds in full and it was amazing! Also caught Roger Waters doing The Wall years back and had a great time, when the wall gets torn down at the end of The Trial is one of the coolest concert endings ever. Also attended the Soundstage recording of Chicago playing their second album in full which was also really damn cool.

I wonder for bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest that have been making music for forty damn years, how hard it gets picking the songs for just random shows when they're not supporting their latest album. They're not just a nostalgia act that plays the same greatest hits they had 20 years ago. There’s just certain songs artists basically have to play. I’m not fan enough of them to say which songs it is for those bands but Aerosmith basically HAD to play Dream On, Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion. The Doors HAD to play Light my Fire, depending on how you caught Jim Morrison, that could be good or bad. One night, he decided, after the crowd wouldn’t stop screaming for Light my Fire, to sing the entire show like Betty Boop…one kid saw this and decided he ought to be a rock star, that’s why we have Iggy Pop.

Radiohead wrote an entire song about Creep and how they hate they are obligated to play it.

Slash hated his famous intro to Sweet Child O’Mine. Jani Lane famously said “I could shoot myself in the f***ing head for writing that song”. Tons of artists hate their most famous song.

The only album I've seen played in full live was at the end of 2022 when Dropkick Murphys did an acoustic tour to promote their then-newest release, This Machine Still Kills Fascists. It was fine, and I did like most of the newer songs, but it was definitely not the best way to experience DKM. I'm still waiting for that.

Seal absolutely detests "Kiss From A Rose" and never wanted to release it, but maybe starting from a place of hate makes him weirdly more tolerant of performing it, since he cites it as basically giving him financial freedom to do whatever he wants to do and focus on. Contrast that with artists who probably had warmer opinions of some of these songs that turned to disdain, and I can see where that'd ironically be shittier to reconcile.
