Gig no.2 - They're playing obscure album tracks, B sides, maybe a few covers . Basically stuff they've never or hardly ever played before with no hits in sight whatsoever.

Which gig do you go to?
I voted for the obscure album tracks, B-Sides, covers, etc... show. Case in point, my favorite band, The Replacements. Some of their most famous shows consisted of covers, them swapping instruments during the show, etc... What fun!

Here's an example of a couple 'Mats covers from a classic show from 1981. The bass player, Tommy Stinson, was only 14 at the time of this show.





This one's just audio and from a later show (not sure of the year).
