With the singles gig at the o2, they didn't play them in chronological order, could they do the same for an album tour?
Personally, I felt that it would have been an idea to do EMG and TIMT on the same night for that reason. Get an orchestra out, do all the strings and do a rock set and a chill set. Truth is a great listen, but it wouldn't lend itself to a gig in the traditional sense, whereas EMG and THB do work nicely as gigs.

I've seen a few of these anniversary shows, and only one (Garbage) played an album out of order. It could be done, but I'd imagine a Truth themed gig (with other similar tracks) would be an easier sell than just a straight play-through. All the action is really in the first 5 tracks. Having said that, the album was massively popular at the time, so you never know what the public reaction would be.
