toymaker Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Sorry if this has been done before. What's the most boring 2 or 3 hours of "entertainment" you've witnessed? For me, REM on the Green tour. ZZZZZZZZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Mine was probably seeing Lita Ford open for Def Leppard back in 2012. That was just sad and painful to watch, and it wasn't entertaining in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why was it sad and painful to watch? lita ford is old and worn out Decades of her Runaway lifestyle have taken its toll on her, and she couldn't sing worth a damn. Her guitar playing was alright but a little sloppy. The crowd definitely wasn't into it, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 The very last concert I ever went to in 1988 - The Moody Blues - who had fallen so far away from what they had once been it wasn't amusing. And it was an exceedingly boring concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disembodied Spirit Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Pearl Jam- Vs. Tour 1994 Having spent the entire 1980's going to over 100 shows, seeing every act imaginable, I got 2 tickets to Pearl Jam on the Vs. tour.While I had the 2 PJ Cd's at the time, I was just too damn old, and did not understand the fans excitement.I attribute it to growing up with Big stages, GUP lasers, Pink Floyd's floating animals, Iron Maiden with Eddie running around, Kiss breathing fire This was 5 guys playing with 1 spotlight, it was just lost on me.1st time at age 27 I felt too old for a concert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 The very last concert I ever went to in 1988 - The Moody Blues - who had fallen so far away from what they had once been it wasn't amusing. And it was an exceedingly boring concert. from what it sounds like, every moody show after a certain year is a sad, sad snoozefest. I had a teacher who was a big fan and saw them in the 90s and he said he fell asleep. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick They haven't changed their set list in probably fifteen or more years. They do one week of rehearsal before a tour starts. They are now touring almost all the time for money. Graeme started losing strength in his arms in the early nineties due to an injury. so they employed Gordy to do backup. Initially he had lots of enthusiasm, but now he looks bored as hell too. They gave poor Ray the heave-ho in a ruthless manner and found a woman that plays the flute as well. But she no longer looks happy either. Justin still can sing. Somewhat. But his voice cracks at times and he can't hold long notes the way he used to. Not sure how good John ever was as a bass player, but he's the only smiling face on stage. It's pitiful. That's what I think of when I read how so many here want Rush to keep going - I think of The Moody Blues, or what's left of them. You don't want that to happen to Rush. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Weather Report, the jazz group, in 1977. They had Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius and Joe Zawinul, all huge jazz guys and they were excellent- it wasn't them, it was me! I was only a teenager and didn't have an ear for fusion jazz or what I was listening to at all; my brain just couldn't process it. I just kept waiting for them to play Birdland. Someone recently sent me a tape of a show from that tour and (of course) it was a lot better than I remembered :) Edited May 5, 2015 by blueschica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
