Entertainment For Lively Minds
Are there any other bands/artists that can do this?

One of the things about Metallica is their live shows. As well as now being able to download their concerts for their website as mp3's, the one thing that is noticeable is they never play the same set list twice in a row. There are common elements (such as at the moment songs from Death Magnetic or back in 06 playing Master of Puppets in its entirety).
The question is though are there other bands that on a live tour that do this switching of songs between every night?

Iron and Wine concerts are available through their website & the set lists vary from night to night.
I'm not an obsessive with regards these things...
but I'm fairly sure Radiohead vary their set quite a bit from night to night.
And Dylan is of course famous for doing so, to the extent that his own band don't know what he's playing half the time. Nor the audience for that matter...!
Dream Theater
Dream Theater
I was going to say them too.
Personally, I think they're horrific, but you have to admire a band that will go out and play a completely different two hour show each night then encore with a note-perfect album by someone else.
Sisters
but they've been peddling the same limited shit for the last decade with the odd surprise thrown, I won't be seeing them on this tour
New Order
never used to do the same set twice. I've seen them play within days of each other and seen a completely different set performed.
Two Words...
The. Dead.
A whole world of difference every night
Yup
Crowded House always vary the setlist and their last tour was purchasable on cd/mp3 on the way out.
They Might Be Giants do a different set each night and a few years ago went though a phase of writing a special song for each venue on their tour. This was subsequently released as the very entertaining Venue Songs DVD/CD. The London song was called "At the Astoria-ya-ya-ya-ya" as I recall. Plus they did the website full of MP3 things, so you could pick up the show you went to.
Costello & Springsteen are also kings of the last minute setlist, but have yet to do the MP3 thing, even though the market would be huge for both.
The RT requests show
Yet to be done over here as a full show, but he will take shouted requests when solo. Or has done on occasion. But the all-requests show is by written application, with requests, presumably pre-vetted, brought out of a bucket in random order and read out to stage. Here's one such tally of votes:
