I'm biased because that's mostly what I do, but it's really one of the few interesting things right now.
I saw somebody recreate an entire The Prodigy concert 5 or 6 years ago, alone with a single mic, acapella.
Was anybody else there? Did this really happen? Did I dream it?

This is more of a take than a rec but if an artist or band is touring a record they recently dropped, they should play the entire album live! It makes for such a great concert experience. I have two examples.
First, I saw Mk.gee in September last year. I’m pretty sure he played every song from Two Star & the Dream Police. He changed up the setlist from the album tracklist plus performed a couple older songs to fill out his stage time but it was all thematically consistent.
My other example is Black Country, New Road. I just saw them in May and I’m almost certain they just performed Forever Howlong front to back, with the addition of one track from Live at Bush Hall. Now this might be an exception because with Isaac (the previous frontman)’s departure, obviously the band can’t really play tracks from their first two records. Still, it doesn’t take away the fact that with their new setup, they had a phenomenal show.
Playing the whole album is also greatly rewarding for the artist’s core fanbase; the ones who memorize lyrics, run streams up, buy merch, and return for future shows.
I think it’s beneficial for the artists too as it creates a symbiosis between recording and touring. It forces them to think more critically about concept and vision and in return, come out with a record that’s cohesive as it is appealing. That way, each tour will be its own unique snapshot in time instead of being another go around where they play their hits from different eras.

Honestly, so happy I didn't listen to people calling it bootleg NYC.
I think I'm speaking for all the London-pilled people who love those 50 minute bus rides on the upper deck, sightseeing basically the exact same areas every day.

Keeps it much more fresh. Good to have different eras, themes and genres, and weights, especially.

It's psychoanalytic, human, cheap, powerful and beautiful.
As a plus, I think the whole hippie-then-yuppie culture thing wore off as a cultural reference, basically because enough time has passed since the 60's or even 90's.
So it's pretty much a fresh slate and while everybody is doing all sorts of newer drugs, or trying to be all natural, I think it's super important to come to terms with acid.
