The Cars at what was then called the Centroplex in 1980 or '81. They played for less than an hour and pretty much just mailed it in. The Motels opened for them and were much better in my opinion.

I have to agree about Cowboy Mouth too. When I saw them they played with a lot of energy but Fred is just annoying.

Yep. saw him at Jazz Fest roughly ten years ago and it was atrocious, but like someone pointed out he was doomed from the start with the acoustics.

Also David Allen Coe in concert is usually a train wreck. 1 out of 3 shows I've seen of his was almost enjoyable. The other 2 he got really mad and walked off stage less than half way thru the show...

Although I didn't buy tickets to specifically see them, Mastodon on the 2013 Mayhem Fest circuit was pretty hard to watch.

Most prog rock/metal bands don't fair well in festival settings and I can now attest to that.

They have grown on me a little since that performance, but I can never remember another heavy metal show putting me to sleep like those guys did.

Yeah, but Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik was their commercial breakthrough, and they might have played two or three songs from that record.

Agree should have played more songs from this GOAT album

The audience was comprised of mostly teens and early 20-somethings so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

The show was underwhelming, but I was with there with all late 20 somethings and older. Enjoyed the show but it could have gone on longer and been a tad better.

That concert(RHCP) and the last two 311 shows are my candidates .

Saw them last June or July and it was great. Show was in Paris

The two times I saw their dj set, it was unbearable. The two times I saw their full band, it was awesome.

RHCP
Wasn't bad when I saw them in 2006 but I that was back when I was into their music. Not my thing anymore.

Arctic Monkeys
No desire to see them anyway. What are their good songs? I must have passed them over.

Most underwhelming shows I've been to are Phish 3.0.
More recently, Alt-j.

I dunno

White Denim opened for them, and Burt and Heady blow them all over this board so I figured between those two circumstances, they must be pretty solid

Wrong

Wrong

I didnt realize they were a band for high school kids. They are like an even shittier version of the Black Keys.

Yep...seen him twice, first time was at Hal and Mal's in Jackson in the small club section. It was packed and he put on a good show, even threating to come off the stage and kick a guys arse if he leaned on the stage again.

Second time I saw him was in 2007 I think at the Willie 4th of July show here in Houston. He came out with some lady, I'm guessing his wife, and he sang maybe two regular songs then started singhing his rap crap...it was awful

Favourite Worst Nightmare was a great album IMHO. Saw them in 2008 and they basically just played that album and it was a fricking great show. The rest of their stuff, with a couple of exceptions, is a big MEHfest for me. I probably wouldn't pay to see them now.

That's another thing I didn't like.

I've watched the Eagles and Paul McCartney perform for 3 hours, but that concert seemed over in the blink of an eye.

Yonder Mountain - New Orleans
Widespread Panic - Biloxi
Tool - Dallas
Queens of the Stone Age - Atlanta

The QOTSA concert really took me off guard. They seemed really apathetic and disinterested that night.
