Forest Hillbilly in a hidey-hole 10 Dec 20 10.50pm | |

I have two in mind. The Cure, 1992. The most miserable experience. None of the crowd "wanted to be there". Heads down, staring at the floor like the goths hated every minute.
I disengage, I turn the page. |

U2, sometime early to mid nineties at old Wembley stadium. To be fair, was as in the cheap seats and could hardly see anything. Loved U2 up until about 1990 when they were a Gaelic rock bank but have hated everything they have done since.

Unfortunately he was like that at every performance as I saw him several times back in the day and he lacked any form of personality at all merely grunting "thank you" between songs

The Police 1978 De Montfort Hall Leicester. The first time I realised Sting was a tool. The other two looked and played like they wanted to be anywhere than up on the stage. Shambolic.

Yes at the Rainbow in '73. Was given a front row ticket by a work colleague. I liked their first couple of albums, but they had a new one out, ' Tales From The Topographic Oceans ' ( I think ). Which they insisted on playing in full. The then 16 year old me hadn't yet developed a great capacity for beer, so the pre gig drinks, plus the boring muzak, sent me to sleep. I woke up to see an unimpressed Steve Howe playing guitar right in front of me, looking down glaring. I got up, gave him a dismissive wave, and weaved out of the venue.

Sting at the Arena Geneva, fortunately the tickets were comps, so we watched one song then pushed off to the bar.
