Ideally, I would go to all of them; if forced to, I'd only skip SATT and PFAYM.
Priorities would definitely be GT, THB, EMG, LB, JFPL.

I would love to see them do the Holy Bible, they've already done JFPL in full.

It'll never happen. They have too many songs they've never even played live once, never mind played them recently. They have over 200 songs, only about 60 of which have been played recently enough to not require them to be completely relearned from scratch, and if we didn't know already, the recent channel 4 documentary highlighted their attitude towards relearning old songs.
GT: doubt this would happen. I imagine songs like Another Invented Disease, So Dead, Methadone Pretty and Condemned To Rock 'N' Roll have long since disappeared from even the muscle memory in JDB's fingers, never mind the words. That's before you even get started on the b-sides. Still, I'd love to hear an updated version of NatWest called RBS-Barclays-HSBC-LloydsTSBHalifaxBankOfScotland. GATS: would never happen. JDB is clearly embarrassed by several of these tunes, hence why he can't even be bothered to do the Sleepflower solo properly. Drug Drug Druggy? Yourself? Gold Against The Soul? Symphony For Tourette? I don't think he'd want to do any of them. And there's no way he still knows how to play Comfort Comes, Are Mothers Saints or Us Against You, not to mention Patrick Bateman, which just isn't happening. THB: possible. Yes, Ifwhiteamerica..., Abortion, Suffeirng, Archives, Revol, 4st 7lbs, Faster, TIY, DITS and PCP have all been played within the past 8 years I think, and Mausoleum and TIHOE are very easy songs to learn. There's also an obvious demand, and it's one of the few albums they don't look back on with embarrassment. Only three b-sides to relearn as well. EMG: very possible. Elvis Impersonator, ADFL, KC, E/A, EMG, SMBTGITS, Oz and NSAF are all regulars anyway, and TGWWTBG, Removables, Interiors and Further Away are all pretty easy songs. There's probably quite a lot of demand (although I don't know why, since we see most of it on every tour anyway...), and it's probably the album they're least embarrassed about. If they did one album gig, it would be this one. Dunno about b-sides, like. TIMTTMY: fairly possible. Everlasting, Tolerate, YSTSFMH, Drowning, Tsunami, MLE and Black Dog have all been played very regularly or at least recently enough. Dunno about SYMM though. Prologue is obviously an easy b-side for them, but the others might prove less straight-forward. KYE: no chance. Lifeblood: no chance. SATT: possible, since they've not started slagging it off yet. Apart from Underdogs they played every song on the SATT tour, so they're all fresh in the memory. B-sides might be a problem though - I'm not entirely sure if The Vorticists doesn't need three guitars, and there are perhaps a few too many acoustic tracks which would just bring down the atmosphere too much. JFPL: well, they've already done it. Would they want to do it again? I'm not convinced, in fact I wouldn't have been surprised if we'd never heard from JFPL ever again so it's anice surprise to see Peeled Apples and JCEQT on the tour this time. PFAYM: well if they can't even play all the tracks on the PFAYM tour, how the fuck are they going to play them on an album gigs tour? If we're just talking albums (no b-sides), then my order of preference would be THB, GT, KYE, LB, GATS, JFPL, SATT, PFAYM, TIMTTMY, EMG. If we're talking b-sides as well, then the order would be THB, GATS, KYE, GT, LB, SATT, JFPL, TIMTTMY, PFAYM, EMG. I would commit heinous crimes if I needed to in order to see a THB album gig, as well as to see Comfort Comes live. But I can't see them doing any more album gigs, the JFPL ones were just because that was a special album. At most, I could perhaps see some THB/EMG gigs, since those are their most critically acclaimed albums (and we all know the Manics only do things they think will be critically acclaimed). None of the rest, though.

They were asked to do it once but they said no because they were 'always looking to the future'. Crap excuse considering most the songs in the live sets are old ones! Anyway, i'd probably go to all of them out of curiosity but the Generation Terrorists one would be hard to stand!

If by some miracle they ever get over disliking half their back catalogue and not wanting to rehearse too many songs, then I'd want to go to all of them (although I would find GT a bit of long slog
 ). But I don't see it happening.
