Most concerts healined by musicians who tour on a national/international scale are usually at least good or OK because the performers have been doing it a long time, even before they got to where they could tour on a large scale. But there are some bad ones I've seen:
Love And Rockets: These guys might be 3/4ths of Bauhaus, but Pete Murphy has all the brains. They played a lot of bland music,with Daniel Ash shaking his ass like he was a teen idol. He looked pathetic. The only reason I went was because Pixies were opening. They blew Danny, Davey and Kevy off the stage.
Gordon Lightfoot: Parts of the show were good, but the whole gig would have been much better if Gordo would have waited until after the show to get loaded. I gave him a second chance years later and he was much better.
Greg Kihn: Played too short of a set, and what he played was mostly by the numbers. The only time he and his band really caught fire was on an extended version of "Valerie."
The Honeymoon Killers: The American band, not the French one. How they got called an alternative band is beyond me. They came off like a lightweight load of heavy metal sludge.
