Albums you have seen performed live in full (two groupings)

[KevShmev]

What albums have you seen performed live in full, a) from start to finish, and b) over the course of a whole concert, but not straight through?  Not covers, but by the original band/artist (or one of them as a solo act or something like that).

For me...

Start to finish
Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory (three times - twice in '00, '19)
Neal Morse Band - The Similitude of a Dream (two times - both in '17)
Rush - Moving Pictures (once - '10)
Neal Morse Band - The Great Adventure (once - '19)
Styx - The Grand Illusion (once - performed by Dennis DeYoung and his solo band - '19)
Neal Morse - Jesus Chris the Exorcist (once - '18)
Eric Johnson - Ah Via Musicom (once - '18)
Judas Priest - British Steel (once - '09)
Dream Theater - The Astonishing (once - '16)

Over the course of a whole concert, but not straight through
Radiohead - In Rainbows (once - '08)
Queensryche - Promised Land (once - '95)
Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused to Sing (once - '13)

[ProfessorPeart]

Start to finish

Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death (2006)
Rush - Moving Pictures (2011)
Styx - The Grand Illusion (Dennis DeYoung - 2017)
Skid Row - Skid Row (Sebastian Bach - 2019)
Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory (2000)
Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers - Honky Tonk Union (Roger Clyne acoustic - 2019)
Transatlantic - The Whirlwind (2010)
Steely Dan - Aja (2009)

Over the course of a whole concert, but not straight through

The Winery Dogs - S/T (2013)

I believe this covers it.

[wolfking]

I think the only one I've seen is WASP's Crimson Idol a few years back on the Crimson Idol tour.

[Volante99]

King Diamond - Abigail (2016)
Dream Theater - SFaM (2019)

Cant believe that’s it in all my concert going experiences.

[bl5150]

Operation Mindcrime  - they also played OM II but I used it as a toilet break and popped out to McDonalds and came back for the encore 

[TAC]

Operation Mindcrime 

Saw that on the Empire tour.

[Revenge319]

Dream Theater - Images and Words (2017)
Dream Theater - Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From a Memory (2019)

[bl5150]

Operation Mindcrime 

Saw that on the Empire tour.

Much better time to see it but we take what we can get out here.  Most of the bigger rock/metal bands never bothered with Australia until they needed to.

[Zydar]

I very rarely go to concerts but I've been lucky enough to have seen Brian Wilson perform Pet Sounds from start to finish in 2002.

[Zook]

Operation: Mindcrime in 2004

[SwedishGoose]

Start to finish (the ones I remember)

Ayreon - Into The Electric Castle (2019)
Dream Theater - Images and Words (twice) (2017)
Dream Theater -  Scenes from a Memory (2000) and again in Janusry
Dream Theater  - The Astonishing (twice) (2016)
Isildurs Bane - The Voyage (if I remember correctly they did it in full) (1994)
Isildurs Bane  - Sagan om den Irländska älgen(if I remember correctly they did it in full) (1984?)
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood (1985)
Opeth - Ghost Reveries (2015)
Pain of Salvation - BE (2003)
Peter Gabriel  - So (2014)
The Neal Morse Band  - Similitude of a Dream (2017)
The Neal Morse Band  - The Great Adventure (2019)

[jammindude]

It’s hard to believe that I have seen Dream Theater so much more than any other band...but I’ve only seen The Astonishing all the way through. The IAW25 and both SFAM tours have skipped over the Pacific Northwest entirely. 

But I did see Moving Pictures on the time machine tour. So that was cool.

EDIT - Evermind’s post reminded me that I saw the Hand. Cannot. Erase tour. Which reminded me that I also saw the Fear of a Blank Planet tour where I believe they played the whole thing.

[Evermind]

Start to finish:

Ayreon - The Human Equation
Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle
iamthemorning - Lighthouse
Ian Anderson - Thick as a Brick
Ian Anderson - Thick as a Brick 2
Jon Lord - Sarabande
Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase.

Over the course of the whole concert:

-

Almost:

Epica - Design Your Universe (didn't play White Walls)
Haken - Vector (didn't play Host)

The IAW25 and both SFAM tours have skipped over the Pacific Northwest entirely. 

Same for my country, except The Astonishing tour also didn't come to us.

[KevShmev]

Oh crap, I forgot to mention The Astonishing in my OP.

[Buddyhunter1]

Start to finish:
Dream Theater - Images And Words
Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory
Dream Theater - The Astonishing (regrettably)
Between The Buried And Me - Colors
Between The Buried And Me - The Parallax II: Future Sequence
Between The Buried And Me - Coma Ecliptic
The Ocean - Pelagial
Alcest - Kodama (the last track wasn't really played in full, but it still counts)

Out of order:
Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing

Almost:
Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase. (no Transience)
Mastodon - The Hunter (no The Sparrow)
Ghost - Meliora (no Deus In Absentia or the two segues)
Ghost - Prequille (no See The Light or Spöksonat)


There might be a few more but that's all I can think of right now. There's also probably one or two that I've cumulatively heard every song from over the course of multiple shows (A Dramatic Turn Of Events, maybe? Might be missing one or two).

[KevShmev]

Neal Morse's Testimony 2 would be on my "Almost" list, as he played all of it at Morsefest '17 except Absolute Beginner.

[lonestar]

Start to finish

Dream Theater- I&W, SFAM (2x), The Astonishing
Yes- Close to the Edge, Fragile, The Yes Album
Peter Gabriel- So
The Who- Quadrophenia
Pete Townshend- Psycho Derelict
Roger Waters- The Wall


Scattered throughout the show...

IQ- Ever
Steven Wilson- Raven that Refused to Sing, Hand. Cannot. Erase. (minus Transience)

I'm sure I'm missing something, I'll edit if it comes up.

[Evermind]

Did SW not play Transience throughout the whole tour? I totally remember him playing it during our show.

Also curious if any of the regulars saw Gilmour's On an Island.

[lonestar]

Just checked setlist.fm, he definitely didn't play it at my show.

[wolfking]

Operation Mindcrime  - they also played OM II but I used it as a toilet break and popped out to McDonalds and came back for the encore 

Fuck I saw that tour also.  Forgot about that.  Amazing how low the crowd got during that second set, then back up again for the encores.

[Ben_Jamin]

Dream Theater - The Astonishing x2, Images and Words, SFAM x2
Static-X - Wisconsin Death Trip
Dance Gavin Dance - Mothership
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Rush - Moving Pictures
Labryinth - Return to Heaven Denied


That's all I can think of.

[Bentower]

Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle
Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Converge - Jane Doe
Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along the Highway
Dream Theater - Scenes from a Memory (2000) and Images & Words
Godflesh - Streetcleaner
Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness
Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik - Skuggsjá
Magma - Theusz Hamtaakh, Wurdah Ïtah, Mekanïk Destruktïẁ Kommandöh and Slag Tanz
The Neal Morse Band - The Great Adventure
Pain of Salvation - BE
Rush - Moving Pictures
Voivod - Dimension Hatröss
Yob - The Unreal Never Lived and The Great Cessation

I think that's it. The majority of those were due to nine trips to Holland's Roadburn festival. They always have a lot of these special, curated sets.

[Elite]

Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness

[Elite]

Start to finish
Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle
Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine

Pain of Salvation - Remedy Lane


Over the course of a whole concert, but not straight through
Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase.
Flying Colors - Flying Colors
Ulver - The Assassination of Julius Caesar (2x)

Almost all
Probably way too numerous to mention here, so including some odd ones:

Leprous - Coal (only Salt was missing)
Soen - Tellurian (only The Other's Fall missing)
Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase. (2x; different gigs from the one above, both without Transience)
VOLA - Inmazes (only A Stare Without Eyes missing)



---

I'm probably missing some here and there, but I think this is pretty accurate!

[Luoto]

There's not been that many. Start to finish, or finish to start:

Amorphis - Eclipse
Amorphis - Tales from the Thousand Lakes
Metallica - Metallica (in reverse order)
Ghost Brigade - Until Fear No Longer Defines Us
Insomnium - Winter's Gate
Omnium Gatherum - New World Shadows
Omnium Gatherum - Beyond

[jcmoorehead]

Only two for me.

Technically this was a tribute band but it still counts?
The Wall - Australian Pink Floyd

The War Of The Worlds - Jeff Wayne

[Max Kuehnau]

Group one (one run-through):
DT: The Astonishing and I/W
Peter Gabriel: So

Group two (entirely, but not in order):
Herbert Grönemeyer: Bleibt alles anders

Group three (almost entirely):
Hiromi: Spectrum (apart from Once In A Blue Moon)
DT: Train Of Thought (apart from Vacant)
DT: Six Degrees (apart from Disappear)
Transatlantic: Bridge Across Forever (apart from the title track itself)
Yes: Close To The Edge (apart from CTTE itself, sadly)
I may edit the post in case I remember something I forgot.

[MirrorMask]

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime & Operation Mindcrime 2 in 2006
Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death in 2006
Dream Theater = Images and Words, in 2007 and 2017
Dream Theater = The Astonishing, 2016
Blind Guardian = Imaginations from the Other Side, 2017

And soon SFAM!!!

[Lowdz]

Operation Mindcrime 

Saw that on the Empire tour.

Me too. Think I saw the whole of Promised Land too, complete with Geoff in leather shorts 😱. Saw Geoff do OM last year. Also saw OM 1 and 2 but stayed for it all 😀

Seen DT do SFAM, I&W and ToT

Probably seen a few others but will need to have a think.

[SoundscapeMN]

I recall replying to this very question years ago on mp.com.

I may just try and find said topic.

[faizoff]

I think it's pretty much like everyone elses.

Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory (2019)
Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase (2016) I believe Transcience was played, according to setlist.fm
Nine Inch Nails - Broken (2019)
The Neal Morse Band - The Great Adventure (2019)

Almost all
Dream Theater - The Astonishing, it was the 2nd leg of the US tour and they had switched out some of the tracks.
Taylor Swift - Reputation, I think just one or two tracks were left out.

[krands85]

All in order:

Dream Theater - The Astonishing (2016)Dream Theater - Images and Words (2017)
Mastodon - Crack the Skye (2010)

There may be one or two others, but these are the ones I remember.

[Nekov]

Start to Finish

Steven Wilson - Hand.Cannot.Erase
Does Roger Waters - The Wall count?.

Over the Course

Steven Wilson - The Raven that Refused to Sing

I think that's it

[TAC]

My concert going is pretty slow over the last 20 years or so, when this really became a thing.

I saw Dream Theater play all of I&W at 2 shows in '92 and another in '93. It was basically their setlist plus a couple songs from WDADU.

I saw Boston play all of Third Stage in 1987. The played NINE shows at the Worcester Centrum.

[Grappler]

Start to finish:

Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime (3x)
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime II
Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
Blind Guardian - Imaginations From the Other Side
