Sorry Garden!
We've had the best, but what about the concert you went to that you were really looking forward to and it was a let down?
Heres 2 -
Ozzy Osbourne - Malvern Circa 1980 - Fat & Lazy
BeBop Deluxe - I was really looking forward to seeing them, had a single at the time "Ships in the night" They were crap, the backing band, Doctors of Madness blew them off the stage
BON JOVI,girlfriend used to drag me all over the country to see em :cry:

Mine wud have to be the Flock of seagulls..........any1 remember them, saw them in a back alley bar in LA and they were bad!!!!!!!
:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:
In order to conform to the new Master of Threads (aka Garden) we will, in future, have to mention sex, shagging, fucking, oral sex, anal sex or some variation of them in every THIRD post. Offenders will be sent to the corner of SH to sit until the site police (aka Garden) deem otherwise.
At Uni, was asked to act as part the front of stage team for The Ruts.
Ended up getting spat on from the band and the audience, disarming a local with a knife, throwing people off stage etc.
Not my idea of fun and definitely the worst band I have ever had the misfortune to listen to.
Oh and by the way Garden no one felt like sex afterwards - sorry.
We've walked out of both a Led zeppelin and a Pink Floyd concert... they'd used too much chemical enhancement and were shite.
Worst one was probably a local folk music concert when I was 16. Nothing as bad as listening to bands singing in Gaelic, singing folk music and trying to continuously dodge pissed up, hormonal underage drinkers. Plus it was raining, plus it was in a shitty, muddy field in the middle of nowhere.
Worst one i've been to was Meatloaf in Aberdeen exhibition center in 1996 ..... I walked out it was that crap so did at least 1/3 of the audience. He cant sing live to save his skin in fact the keyboard player was singing most of the time and I think its him on the records !!!!!

Meatloaf he had flu couldn't sing then collapsed on stage (That was funny though) :giggle:
Has to be the entire Reading Festival last year.... won't go into details, but it ended one of the best relationships I have had...(though to be fair, it wasn't the festivals fault... just stuck in a field for 3 days with everything crashing around you made it shit)
UB40 I think it was their Labour of Love tour.
Crap....crap...crap! And the giant rat on the stage went ka-boom too.
i cant say what the worst was, as there have been no bad ones, but the worst after effects were from motorhead...profound deafness for 3 days, and the ringing in my ears went on for a further two weeks...
Paul Young
got dragged along with wife and sister in law
Two years ago I took my daughter and friend to an amatuer thrash band night. It was held in a huge warehouse, but wasn't filled as there was a music festival (which I'd much rather have gone to) down the road, so everyone kind of milled around not quite sure what to do with themselves. I had trouble getting stamped for the bar as I didn't take ID, so had to phone my husband to bring some down as there was NO way on earth I was staying if I couldn't drink, booze was just about the only way I was going to salvage the night. :huh:

Beat this people !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bay City Rollers = was about 10 years old, they came on drunk, stayed on for an hour then disappeared (thankfully into oblivion)
Kajagoogoo = 19 years old and was the oldest one in the audience = all the little girlies were screaming for Limahl!! I wanted a paper bag for my head
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'll probably be hunted for this but Eric Clapton at the Albert Hall, I actually fell asleep and we left before the end.
No, I'm not going to hunt you down quietguy.
I saw "Slowhand" plus Robert Cray at the Albert Hall years ago.
Firstly, it was a "yuppie" concert - everyone in the audience in their business suits etc straight out from the city - and there was no atmosphere.
Secondly, Mr Cray was just too note perfect - exactly like his recordings and no live presense at all.
Having said that, I still like and listen to both Clapton and Cray in the privacy of my own home!
Talking of yuppie meaningless music, I've never seen Dire Straits but I can imagine them as being just that.
