    Eric Clapton. It wasn't that the show itself was bad but he only performed for a little over an hour. Considering how much I spent on tickets I left feeling very let down. I enjoyed Roger Daltrey's opening set much more.

    Oasis. It was back in the 'Champagne Supernova' days and I was looking forward to this show for months.
    Actually... i should be specific... it was Liam that ruined the show. They came on real late and he was drunk as shit... would wander off stage in the middle of a song, leaving the rest of the band to improvise (which they did well)... and at one point, just sat on the drum riser with his head down, looking like some bar room drunk that was ready to puke.
    I'd probably see them again... if they ever toured again... because I love the songs.. but, that night... Liam was just a self-polluted douche.

    by far Van Halen 1981 at the Cape Cod Collesium.

    They barely played a 70 minute set as the headliner..

    band was so loud and un-tight, you couldn't distinguish the end of one song from the start of another,

    David Lee Roth laughed and joked himself through most of the lyrics, if he remembered them at all, skipped the entire "i've been to the edge" section of the lyrics to "ain't talkin bout love".. (WTF! best part of that song)

    and Alex Van Halen had the biggest (and most underutilized) drumset I have ever seen..
    barely a "tap tap" sound outta the whole monstrosity..

    Eddie and Michael Anthony were the only two decent performers..

    When they walked off and the lights came on.. I was looking around to see where to stand in line to get my money back..

    that being stated.. they seemed to get their act back together with some of the 2007 shows I have heard..
    sounded great!
    Sounds like the 1982 show I saw by the same band.....some folks shouldn't drink and attempt to entertain.

    Doesn't surprise me that Liam ruined it, always thought Noel was more talented anyway. It's bad though when you really like their music and they act like twats!

    Too bad, I saw them on their last Canadian tour, and they were pretty good. Met Liam during 'Don't Look Back In Anger', chatted, seemed like a fairly nice guy.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
