What if FM performed Tusk in its entirety at New York's Beacon Theatre

[BigAl84]

What I meant was...i'm sure they would sell out the beacon in a heartbeat for multiple nights, however they just don't seem to ever pursue those kind of engagements. It's like they do 40+ nights in arenas or nothing at all. I just don't think their managers and business people would advise them to do it because they can make better money doing other things.

Lindsey has been asked about it before and he wasn't exactly sold on it because doing a whole album, you can't craft the arc of the show and build it up the way a setlist needs to be thought out. I think he's missing the point - people are coming to hear that album because they LOVE that album. They have that album memorized from beginning to end. That particular sequence of songs is a huge part of what they love and are coming to see. The center almost shifts from being about the band and their crafted "show", to being about the album itself and it being performed live, presented as a particular body of work. It's a whole different concept and the audience that shows up for that kind of experience is going to have a different mentality than that of the casual rock concert attendee.

I also think a good chunk of the band would think nobody would show up to hear them do that entire album. It would revert back to the whole BS about putting too many new songs into the set that "nobody knows".

There are quite a few songs they have never done live or haven't done live in a very long time. They clearly put together "Think About Me" pretty quickly for the Australian tour - They could totally do it if they really wanted to. Add a second set of other hits and wrap it up with Songbird!
