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

I saw the RHCP in New Orleans a couple of years ago and came away very disappointed.
The band's setlist was shite and seemed to completely disregard the first five albums.
Their energy seemed lackluster compared to past shows (it didn't help that Josh Klingoffer was injured and Anthony Kiedis was recovering from an injury as well).
Also, Klingoffer failed to come anywhere close to Frusciante's immense musical presence.
The tickets weren't very expensive but considering that the concert was pushed back eight months due to Kiedis' injury, I expected greatness.

Cowboy Mouth, HOB about 8 years ago.
Went with a girl I was dating at the time who was a huge fan.
They played forever too, it was like a 2 1/2-3 hour set.
The lead singer, drummer was annoying as all hell.
frick Cowboy Mouth.

Saw Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan at the minor league park in Memphis. Willie was ok at best. Bob Dylan, old, ornery, at an outdoor venue with sub standard acoustics= turribleness. Never been to a musical event where I felt more ripped off.

They need to take a break from touring. Saw them last April and it was amazing. Saw them again at the end of September and it was amazingly boring.

I've only heard good things about Willie's live performances. He's probably the only living country singer I would pay to see live.

I've seen him numerous times. He usually does a great job. I think the Family was hammered when they did the sound check at that ball park. It was off.

Dylan has had the reputation for decades. Sounds like you are just too stupid to know that.
I enjoyed his Jazz Fest 06 set, fwiw.

Why would you expect greatness after the proven heart & soul of the band (Frusciante) departed?

I left their set at Bonaroo a few years back. It wasn't even close to music. It was just incoherent bleepidy bloop blop and screaming.
Saw them last September (I think) at HOB in New Orleans and it was incredible. Everyone was playing instruments instead of rubbing on their Macs.

Yep. That 09 show was awful.

It was pretty rough when I saw him. But if you haven't seen him you might as well once.

This couldn't have been shocking to anyone with a passing familiarity with music.
Frusciante is one of the best rock guitarists of the past 30 years - I like Josh, but he is a blue collar, lunchpail guitar player - way better than most people could ever be, but not an elite ax man, by any stretch.

That's probably not their fault - you got to give the people what they want. They probably played selections primarily from the Big 4/5 (whether or not you count One Hot Minute) - plus Soul to Squeeze (if that) - and marked it paid.
Unless they're playing a couple of covers of Funk classics. I think that should be their next album - covers of P/F, James Brown, Commodores, EWF - just a RHCP take on those classics - which they are obviously the inheritors of (as black artists seem to have eschewed this last, great black rock genre.)

I was optimistic.

Not me but my dad mentioned to me the other day that he went to a Ray Charles concert at the Strand theater in Shreveport back in the day and said it was the worst concert he has ever been to. He said it was because Ray seemed like he didn't want to be there and was kind of over having to play in Shreveport, which is unfortunate.

Yeah, but Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik was their commercial breakthrough, and they might have played two or three songs from that record.
The audience was comprised of mostly teens and early 20-somethings so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.
