This is diffferent from the Bad Concerts thread in that you wouldn't even put them on your list, if you kept one, of concerts you've attended.

Trans Siberian Orchestra

I tool my then high school aged daughter as a reward for good grades. The first thing I noticed was a lack of amps on stage: not a good sign. Most of the music was pre-recorded. It was a play with music, not a group of musicians playing a show. My daughter entered the venue as a fan of the Trans Siberian Orchestra, and left as an ex-fan.

Richard Marx

Every summer around July 4, one of Cincinnati's suburbs puts on a free concert at a huge park featuring a "name" act. I was lukewarm at best about seeing this one, but I went with Mrs. Drjohnrock, her sister, and her sister's husband. Much to the chagrin of the ladies, I spent most of the show playing games on my phone, while my sister-in-law's husband alternated between glaring at the stage and directing verbal abuse at Marx. When the best song from someone who's known as a songwriter is a cover (I Hear You Knocking), you've got problems. Aside from that tune and one of the originals, not one tune was memorable. Oh well, it was a nice summer day with tolerable humidity.
