It’s really become a thing for bands to go on tour to play their classic albums from start to finish (e.g. Death Cab, Postal Service). When did this start? I found this 10-year-old Reddit thread which mentioned Weezer, Green Day, and The Pixies. Anyone? [reddit.com] - ThreadSky

Pixies and Springsteen both did it in 2009.

The All Tomorrow's Parties festival included a "don't look back" series where bands would play a classic album start to finish

Slint played Spiderland for ATP in 2007, then did the same for a few other fests, followed by a tour.
