The most boring concert you've ever been to?

Fair enough!

I like practically everything they've done. Whatever the style, there's been enough quality material for me to rate the albums pretty highly.

Picked up their double live set they other day (mainly to get the studio track Music Time). Guess that'll be as close as I'll ever get to a Kilroy show.

 

Was at the Dire Straits show, do remember it being dull. Really liked the on every street record though. Some band (Cars) don’t translate well live.

 

Funny, the 2005 tour was my favorite! I found the 2002 a little underwhelming personally, but that's just me!

 

had no idea he was playing any Genesis material on the So tour...

 

Toss up between placebo or the editors
Both must have had off nights and just weren’t up for it imo

Stereophonics at v festival were also dull

 

Was this at Memorial Hall? I remember a lot of unintelligible lyrics at that show. Love Dylan but was not impressed. Gilmore did steal the show.

 

LOL! I saw Sting on that tour, but I was really into The Soul Cages at the time. So I loved it. He played a theatre here in Chicago and I LOVED it. But looking back, I would never go see that show now. I just wouldn't be into it and I can totally see how bored someone would be if they weren't into those songs.

 

Harry Chapin. Had a hard time staying awake

 

Maple Leaf Gardens, Eric Clapton, Slowhand tour. Just deadly boring.

 

Saw The Detroit Cobras and Cheap Trick open up for Cake in 2003. Detroit Cobras were awesome and Cheap Trick put on a top-notch show.

Cake, however, was the worst live band I've ever seen. Total borefest.

 

The bo deans at summer fest. Broke up with the girl I was dating that liked the bo deans at the show, then fell asleep in my seat.

 

I think, with Aimee Mann, you have to have realistic expectations. I have seen her perform three times and have tickets for an upcoming Xmas Show. What I expect is to see an intimate gig in a small venue. Like a friend with an acoustic guitar playing songs. Nothing in the way of a "show", just a quiet performance. With that expectation I have never been disappointed.

 

Did you mean van hagar?

If not, all I can say is I'll always regret that I was born after quaaludes got outlawed.

 

Oasis, Den Bosch, Holland, 1997.

All the arrogance, bruhaha and pompous b***s*** couldn’t disguise the fact that the band was fronted by two whiny statues who spent too much time disecting Beatles albums.

 

The Outlaws, I think it was 1979. 4000 seat arena. maybe 200 in attendance. I assume it was disheartening for them to see vast emptiness. and it showed in their effort. boring

 

I fell asleep in the balcony of the Beacon Theater during a Gov't Mule New Years show once. I just did not have the hallucinogenic firepower to keep up with the two hours of deep jamming that occurred after a reasonably long normal Mule concert. I was going nutz when they started 2004 (I think) w/ Sympathy for the Devil -> I'm Bad I'm Nation Wide but I was stone sober when I walked out of there like 4 hours later.

 

I'm 99% sure Gabriel didn't play Genesis songs in 1986-87.

From what I read, he did one token Genesis song per show in 1977-78 but didn't play Genesis songs on subsequent tours.

The person who said he saw Gabriel play Genesis songs on the "So" was wrong...

 

I saw one of the So shows and it was excellent. But I was kind of disappointed at first since it was so, no pun intended, different from the make-up and mysticism that made the 1983 shows so great.

Of course being stuck in the past was completely on me. But it was a shock to see Gabriel without the make up and the show was kind of black and white, just like the LP cover.

 

That's what happens when you hit the Big Time...

 

I saw Gabriel twice at shows that were connected to "So". First saw him at Giants Stadium in 1986 with the "Conspiracy of Hope" tour, and then in 1988 at JFK for "Human Rights Now".

I don't really remember the 1986 show, so it left little impact, but the 1988 show literally made me a Pete fan overnight.

I was there mainly to see Springsteen, but Sting was a draw for me as well.

Pete put on the best show of the bunch! It helped that unlike 1986, he had his own stage setup, so I saw a better representation of his "real show"...

 

Squeeze in Boston 1988.

 

not van halen.

 

I think that was the place. It was in 1994 if I remember correctly.

 

Saw the "So" Stuttgart show in 1987 and am positive he didn't play any non-solo material. Why would he?

 

Sting 2012. 5000 people /15000 arena. Fakin boring
