re: What's the most underwhelming concert you have been to?

I saw a few rigs shows... talk about meh!

Benji Davis. Twice.
Mark Brousard 2006
Sky Chief had potential, but they didn't have any singer. I remember thinking, that if they could use less drums and somehow pump more of the keys, they could really have potential.

I remeber that the manager at bogies actually told sky chief to stop playing one night. Thats how bad it was like abortion diarrea bad.

REM at the Saenger in the mid 80's

I was at that show and enjoyed it.


I saw The Eels a few months ago and they were pretty lame.....although they did a 3rd encore after the house lights came on and half the crowd had left.

Maybe Cat Power at the Howlin' Wolf, sometime in 2003 or thereabouts. Granted, I didn't know her music, but I've been to plenty of shows where I wasn't familiar with a group, but still enjoyed something about their performance.

A few years back at Jazz Fest, The Decemberists were quite underwhelming as well. Tom Jones was playing at the same time, and that was more enjoyable!

He's right.. Cajundome booked like one alternative band a year in the 90s and the sound was horrible for them & Bush.

Its not New Orleans so I don't know what you expect, but in the 90s the Cajundome had Smashing Pumpkins, Alanis Morrisette, Metallica, Bush twice, and Korn.

Billy did say not too many.

only like 50 times

That's a lot for a city that size. I guess its not much compared to a real big city though.
