    Clapton in 2009 in London. It was the 5th time I'd seen him. Previously he'd had Doyle Bramhall as a support guitarist and for 2 of the shows Derek Trucks and some superb drummers. I think these guys kept Clapton on his toes. 2009 seemed lazy, the support musicians were ancient and looked like they were looking forward to their cocoa before bed. And the tickets were expensive.

    Seen Aerosmith twice, once in 2002 which was my first concert, and again in 2003 w/ KISS (my first time seeing KISS). I think the one thing I can say about Aerosmith live is that they turn it up way too loud. You can't really distinguish anything...it just sounds like a bunch of noise, I thought.


    I saw Aerosmith a few times in the early 90's and they put on a great show...at least back then. But it does not surprise me that the late 80's and early 90's would be the best years for them live.

    You disagree on MY most disappointing live acts?? My expectations were that he would range anywhere from enjoyable enough to jawdroppingly good.

    Did you see him with Gabby Lala? It was horrible. I was sorta into some of his solo stuff and he played a pretty good portion of Purple Onion, which I enjoyed, but HE was boring. They got blown off the stage by a band called Drums and Tuba.

    Drums and Tuba is fun...I remember them back in my college days.

    So I guess you saw Les in the wrong setting. W/ Gabby Lala...not my cup of tea. He always brought it whenever I saw him in Primus, Oysterhead or the Flying Frog Brigade.

    I was underwhelmed by R.E.M. But the worst was probably Death Cab in Brooklyn a couple of years ago. They chickened out halfway through because of a storm and that half wasn't really very good. Crowd also annoying.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    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!

    Smashing Pumpkins - 1996

    I hate to get on the "Bash Billy" bandwagon, but I was really disappointed. I went into the show excited to see them play. Billy bitched about the crowd size, the venue and whatever else was on his mind.

    Yeah! He started playing heaps of new songs and then said he'll play some old ones and the crowd cheered. Then he goes "Don't you like my new stuff?" and everyone shouted "Boooooooooooo" So he told us all to get fucked and played some more new stuff! :lol::lol::lol:
