re: Biggest letdown concert for you?

My wife likes Blue October. It was awful, they played for like an hour. They also suck, so I wasn't let down because I didn't think they were any good to begin with.

I saw AIC do an acoustic show with the new guy a few years ago and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. The new guy sounds exactly like Layne. People really overstate his importance to the band.

Mike Starr's dead, too. That's half the band, though Starr was kicked out in the mid-90s. I think what made AiC so great was the tension between Cantrell and Staley. Cantrell is a metal guy with great pop sensibilities. He was always drifting the group towards an accessible mainstream sound while Staley was trying to take the band off in a more punk/underground direction. At its balance, you get a great album like Dirt (in which Staley transforms every lyric into a lyric about drug addiction, even ones not about drug addiction).
Without that tension between the two main voices of the band, they are just Godsmack or any of the post-grunge copycat bands which came up in their wake. Which I, personally, have no interest in.
I do like Cantrell, but he needs a muse like Staley, much like Townsend needed Daltrey to filter his material and make it great.

Milli Vanilli - not lying either I really saw them in concert at Astroworld back in the day. They also played with Erasure I believe and they sucked too.

I don't know what the issue is. They all just sat there. There was no "show".
They arent dancers, dude. They play music, they don't really have to do much else than to sit there and play.
ABB fricking rules, even now. If you can't appreciate 3 of the best musicians around today(haynes, trucks, and burbridge) then you are just doing it wrong. I've always been impressed when seeing them.

What happened exactly?
Caleb got through about 20 minutes bitching about his voice and the heat between every song, and bragging about his intoxication.
Said something to the effect of "i'm gonna go backstage and chug a beer and I'll be right back".
Ten minutes later the rest of the band came back, apologized, and said that they understood if we hated them etc., but that it was their brother's damn fault, and to please hate him.

Ty Segall at Siberia in New Orleans.

Dr. John at Jazz Fest 2011, Kings of Leon at Jazz Fest 2009, Galactic at the Varsity in 2011 (although that probably had more to do with my state of mind at the time).

Radiohead at Bonnaroo this past June. I swear it was like listening to a shitty mixtape.

Are you the guy who tried to fight my friend and I for "dancing too hard?"

That's a bummer. Their show in '06 was the best concert I've ever seen. Houston this year was great, too. How far from the stage were you?

Biggest letdown concert for you?
Note to self:Never see Tool. I went to an Allman Brothers concert that was pitiful. I left after about 45 minutes.
No concert I've been to has ever held up to even the worst tool concert. I'd say Tool has ruined me for all other concerts.
Worst ever - Transiberian Orchestra. That was some awkward shite. I thought it would be hard rock like the ads led me to believe. It was a strange pageant of over dramatic readings mixed with music. My wife was laughing hysterically at it and annoying those around us. We finally walked.

Animal Collective at Bonnaroo in '09 was a fricking huge letdown

I have seen the same thing posted on several music boards I frequent. Apparently they need to stick to recorded music.

well, they put their set in the middle of the hot summer day. That was stupid. They are a night band. Their stuff is super hard to really pull off live anyway.

Drive By Truckers at Tips a few years ago. The sound guy kept turning up FOH louder and louder until it just physically impossible for me to stay in the room, so I split.

Truckers shows are LOUD. The first few times I saw them, I thought they were too loud, but the last time I saw them(a couple of weeks ago) they werent turned up as much, and it sounded so much better.

U2 the Pop Tour back in the late 90's. Love U2, but their concert just like listening to their CD. Dave Matthews Band puts on some the best. You go to a concert and they jam quit a but.
If I wanted to listen to a CD, I would stay home and save 50 bucks.
My second favorite concert I have ever been was when Heuy Lewis and the News opened for Chicago...that was
