The nearest to it would be when bands play the whole of an album - if the albums/gigs were listed in advance you could save money by not going to the ones with albums you don't much like. It would be awful to have to choose say two out of ten gigs only to find that the best songs were played the day after or before

Knowing in advance might spoil the fun though.... Which is the case with 9 out of 10 gigs in general, since most artists and bands stick to their old stale setlists. Very few artists are as ambitious as Costello.

Seeing as most albums are between 45mins and an hour and most gigs 90 mins to 2 hrs .It gives an artist time to play a whole album and a bunch of hits. Satisfying both the ardent and casual fans I think.

This seems appropriate on page 75 herein the #ELO50 thread... Happy 75th Birthday to Jeff Lynne, lead vocalist, guitarist, songwriter & producer of my all-time favorite band ELO or Electric Light Orchestra!

Well, thank you Team Jeff for using the original Electric Light Orchestra cover version from ELO II in 1973 as it should be for Roll Over Beethoven's 50th Anniversary, nice!

The originals are almost always better than the re-recordings.

Actually as far as the 2012 re-recordings go I think 10538 and Showdown are definite improvements. And "Evil Woman" matches the original to the point where I've heard it played on the classic rock station in LA and didn't immediately know it was the re-do. As for the others, yes, the originals are better. The Strange Magic re-do is almost as good except you can tell they're not real strings.

I had been wishing for 10538 to be revisited for years. I like Roy but the song is much better now.

To be honest I bought this album and listened to it once it was ok but much preferred the originals, but I will give 10538 another listen.

Not bought it,I've only heard the songs on youtube and I wasn't that impressed. MBS 2012 was used at the 2012 olympics wasn't it?

Not that I particularly like remakes, but I would have enjoyed an album of old ELO album tracks re-recorded with different arrangements.
Stuff like Bluebird is Dead, Mission, Laredo Tornado etc.
