Worst act you ever saw live

[witchdoc187]

That'll be Harry Hill. Ad that's quite the description.

Yes him. My description worked

 

[witchdoc187]

John Cale was crap down the docks but i think the wind didnt help as the sound was just going out across the Mersey into oblivion

This made me laugh but I've no idea why

 

[Oasis1878]

Jamiroquai.

Played about 2 songs and jibbed us off because it started to spit of rain. Came back after 10 mins to blame the festival and said “they’ve asked me to stop because of health and safety”, festival officials then got on the mic and said “no he’s just refusing to perform”. Everything in sight then got thrown at him. Great end to a festival.

Went to an 80s weekend at Butlins. Sinitta was booed off after one song because she was miming, Limahl was utter poop. the following day I had the misfortune to endure Keith Harris and Orville. He was vile, racist, homophobic just horrible.

As far as actual gigs go, Showaddywaddywaddy at the Liverpool Empire were rubbish. and I was actually bored rigid by Michael Jackson at Aintree. Probably because I had never been a fan and was persuaded to go by my mates because "you'll never see anything like this again" No interaction with the audience from MJ. Kim Wilde the support act was way better. By a bizarre quirk of fate I ended up stood next to Kenny Daglish and his missus. There were 100,000 people there, how the F did that happen?

@woodsyni I saw The Pogues at The Royal Court supporting Elvis Costello and then many years later in Newcastle. Both times they were brilliant. I feel sad for your experience.

It was in the King's Hall which is a barn, not a concert hall. The sound was beyond atrocious.

Saw The Pogues at a gig at Birmingham City ground along with The Beat and UB40, pogue singer was that drunk after the 2nd song he lay on stage and went to sleep, the band just carried on with the set, he woke up on the last song and sang that out ?

Maupay - Away at Spurs 15/10/22.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Die Antwoord… A South African hip-hop duo that raps in Afrikaans.

My word, I wouldn’t even call that music.

Not that I’m complaining about this next one: I went to watch the boss Bruce Springsteen about 10 years ago.
I got value for my money, that’s for sure!
The show went on for about 6 hours!
I lost count of how many encores he did. He would run off stage and then jump back on! Even the E Street Band were like: Really dude? Another one?!
I’m sure between encores he was doing lines of something off stage! He was like the energiser bunny!

 

[David09]

Circawaves in Birmingham were awful

 

[David09]

Snow Patrol supporting the awesome Grandaddy at the Manchester academy in late 2003.
Hard to believe they would become so successful shortly after.

That's shocked me.

wait until you read up on what a bunch of wronguns they are, seriously disturbing stuff

 

[David09]

Easy one for me- Red Hot Chilli Peppers. They didn’t care a jot about the gig, treated it like a night off before their bigger gigs in England.

I've always wanted to see the Red Hot Chilli Peppers but the tickets are very expensive

 

[wm02]

Neil Young and Crazy Horse at Jones Beach though it was entertaining.
He was doing these indulgent long solos at the end of each song, so the crowd starts booing. He then makes the solos twice as long leading to louder booing.

He then told us “Go eff yourselves” and stormed off stage

 

[David09]

I’m being dragged to see the Kaiser Chiefs in a few weeks and I feel like they might be up there

Will report back

Kaiser Chief's were very good afew years ago when I saw them. I'm not a fan of the recent music though as its a bit poppy. But I think you will be surprised
