Originally posted by Mapletree Just like listening to an album. No presence. I was really surprised. Might as well have stayed at home I saw Chris Rea at Wembley and that was also just like his albums but I saw him again up in his native North East and he was completely different, playing the same songs but with a passion and drive that was missing at Wembley

Jamiroquai at Finsbury Park in the 90's (94 ?). The crowd where there for other bands, the sound system was s*e, and they were s*e and got booed (haha). Must have been embarrassing for them. Mine's a light and bitter.

The Faces. At the greyhound I think it was. Lead singer (a little upstart called Rod Stewart) was so drunk he could barely stand let alone sing. Seem to remember the hall was half empty by the time they got half way through.

Can't remember many bad gigs although some of my pals and I did become a little snobbish at one point. I remember we stayed in the bar for Bon Jovi when they supported Kiss at Wembley Arena. We went home before AC/DC headlined at Donnington because we thought they had lost it, and I remember we mocked Iron Maiden at the Hammersmith on the Piece of Mind Tour because we thought they had gone down hill rapidly. I didn't even get out of the camp site when they played Reading. With hindsight that was all a little daft especially in the light of the utter garbage that the kids are exposed to now.

Oh yeah, just remembered seeing "The Doctor" of Dr and the medics collapse and be carted off stage 1 or2 songs into their set. In hindsight this was probably a good thing.
