So I've just stumbled across this group called Classic Albums Live that is all about performing classic albums live on stage. Currently, they're doing a tour of Brothers in Arms, as performed by a bunch of great Australian musicians including Rex Goh and Phil Emmanuel - so not your average cover band. The reviews I've seen suggest that the show is sensational, and done in two parts: classic album first, followed by other greatest hits.
The FM-relevance of this is that they're currently asking people to vote for the albums they would most like to see played on stage in 2011. I think Rumours would naturally have the best shot of getting enough votes from the general population, but I would give an arm and a leg to see Tusk played on stage in full.
FM aside, I think this is a totally cool idea and I can think of so many albums I'd love to see done this way. For those who feel so inclined, you can vote for your top 5 albums here (http://www.classicalbumslive.com.au/).
