Most Boring Concert

[Segue Myles]

I suppose the most boring concert for me was The Bare Naked Ladies, but that probably was due to the fact that I was 11 when I saw them, and only knew about five songs. It was also Christmas time so they played a few holiday songs that I was bored by. But none the less, the show was fun.

 

Beyond that everything else I have gone to has hit the nail on the head:

 

Rush (Duh)

Weird Al (Talk about stage presence)

Great Big Sea (The most rocking celtic band you can find)

They Might Be Giants (Hilarious, and engaging)

OK GO (The most fun concert I have ever been too (SO MUCH CONFETI))

 

and last but not least

 

Panda Bear (Mesmerising vocals and visuals. Amazing feat to perform mostly unreleased material and make it feel like they are already your favorites (and this was an electronic show)

 

The fact that you think confetti is essential to a good time makes me think we would be awesome at a concert together!

 

Only way to top it would be baloons.

Well it wasn't just the confetti that made the concert awesome, that's just the bullet point of it. Yeah Balloons would be great, except if its in a smaller venue where the popping could disrupt the music for some. The Confetti though, there was 75 Pounds of it (or as they put it for my Canadian mind, a bit more than 30 kilograms). People were making snow angels in it after the show. Meanwhile on top of that, they also had a bubble machine, they did Q&A's with the audience while the stage hands prepped the stage for the next song. The front man did an acoustic song in the middle of the audience. They did a really good cover of Raw Dog despite it being completely out of their genre, and for the encore, they recreated a dance they did for one of their music videos live, they wore white jumpsuits and played white instruments that when black light was turned on would turn their clothes and instruments and...oh yeah, CONFETTI. There was so much, a couple pieces actually flew into my mouth throughout the night. If you ever get the chance to see OK GO (and you like alternative pop rock) go for it.

 

I love this stuff at gigs...I enjoy ska live because of all the fun that goes on!

 

The opposite of a boring gig is a Suburban Legend gig...SO MUCH FUN!

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

I loved that show, and was 29 at the time. My most boring show was David Lee Roth, Eat'Em and Smile Tour. All the goofy antics, but no soul. I was right up front, festival style, but moved back after a few songs. The place was only half full...

 

The eat em and smile tour, really? I always heard that tour slayed with Vai and Sheehan tearin it up.

O I do so want to go to there

 

:cheerleader:

[Na na na]

Soundgarden supporting Sabbath last year (twice!) were totally flat and soulless; I would have made a fortune selling crosswords to the crowd.

 

I saw Soundgarden in 92, a week after seeing Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam was amazing back then, Soundgarden was....yes, flat & soulless

[micgtr71]

Dave Matthews Band....like a sleeping pill

[Rod in Toronto]

I saw Meshuggah live at a festival, and luckily they had problems with their gear and had to cut it short.

Ok I saw that tour not expecting very much at all. It was a sold out Capital Centre Largo MD and that show is in my top 15 of over 500 concerts I've seen. DLR was on fire in that show, 2 plus hours with surprises everywhere. My favorite part was when he started to play steel drums something I've played when I once lived in Jamaica. Most everyone left that show saying damn he was surprisingly good.

[nappy2112]

Kenny Rogers .

 

:zzz:

[EagleMoon]

Dave Matthews Band....like a sleeping pill

 

Wow, I would agree with that. I saw them a few years ago and it was all I could do to stay awake. I'm not a big fan of the band though, but wow.

[Tombstone Mountain]

Here's one. Saw him in Dallas. Kitaro. His concerts will flat lull you into sleep.

 

I love his music. If you've never listened to Marty Friedman's "Scenes" make every effort to get it. He produced side two, and played on it. His music is like valium:

Well friend. Put on the entire album and just relax one night, or day. It was a surprise when it was released back in the day. Dave Mustaine is forever on my shitlist for allowing this guy to get away. Nick Menza, drummer for Megadeth at the time, plays drums on it as well. Really, it's a masterful work. Nothing like it around

Im'a goin head n guess none'a y'all ain't never seen widespread panic.

 

so bad.

 

wow

...and I had a phase where I liked so called 'jam bad' music, but even then....as bad as it gets....by a couple miles.,,no amount of drugs could make them sound good to me. Don't think I didn't try!! :smoke: :smoke: :smoke: :smoke:

 

DMB are Led f***ing Zeppelin by comparison!!!

Might have been the venue. Vai was pretty schmaltzy... Talented, but too much wankery for my taste.

[Achilleslastand]

The Lips are from my neck of the woods and people around here treat them as If they are Led Zep. They could get swallowed up by an earthquake for all I care.

Back to the OP question......

Tom T Hall.......

And Kansas......which was a huge snoozefest.

lots of people around my area are nuts about panic since they're from georgia. very lame stuff. I think DMB are lamer though

I've seen Panic a few times. Once on their own their appearances at Lockn' Festival. Thought they were decent. Certainly better than DMB. Like Dave Schools. But Jimmy Herring does get old after 2-3 songs. So, that portion of it I certainly understand.

[apetersvt]

Seriously

 

Wolfmother

 

The Cars

 

Dio Magica

 

Wolfmother was great when I saw them.

[apetersvt]

I think the most boring concert for me was Hootie And The Blowfish. Stuck going by ex-wife for anniversary. So glad they only played about an hour and a half.

 

Seen many other boring bands but they were openers so I won't include them.

 

Bob Dylan was fairly boring as well.

 

Had to take my daughter to Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana. Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad. The real musicians were pretty decent. Felt sorry for them having to play what they did each night.

 

Saw Dave Matthews Band in the early 90s when they were just a local act. Thought $5 was pretty steep for a cover charge. Went there to drink and hear some live music.

[Del_Duio]

No big bands in particular but I've seen a shit ton of local bands with a separate singer* who just stands there and does nothing the whole show. That really sucks.

 

If you're going to be a stand alone singer, you gotta' tear it up!

Wow, really? How can somebody responsible for songs like Tornado of Souls be boring?

That sucks!
