Blur at The West End Centre Aldershot 1990 just before they broke.They played in front of 200 and were awful ,bottles and fists flying a plenty. Years later glad to say i was there.

Bob Dylan at the Brighton centre. Crap venue anyway and most of the show consisted of innumerable versions of the same tune to which Bob mumbled the lyrics of songs from his heydey while earnest beardie men whooped when they recognised the words.

Went to see Jonathan Richman in Brighton somewhere and a young lad was very, very sick in the middle of the hot sweaty room. Absolutely the grimmest thing I have ever smelt!!!

The Two-Tone tour, Pompey in the early Eighties, great musically, but the National Front knuckle draggers made for a toxic atmosphere.

Two Coldplay gigs come to mind. The first at a very wet National Sports Centre at Crystal Palace in 2005, where we were miles from the stage, and there was a large group of freeloaders watching from outside the perimeter. Having said that, it was quite satisfying to see them all get blocked off as the crowd dispersed, meaning they had to wait ages to get out. Then I saw them again in 2012 at the Emirates, with loads of tall tanked up types jostling to get to the front, meaning I mostly saw the backs of their heads (I'm 5'6"). This is no reflection on the band, as I saw them again later in the summer at the Stade de France and it was a great gig. Another bad one was Kings of Leon at Hyde Park (I don't like the venue, as they let far too many fans in), where again the audience mostly seemed to be tanked up plonkers who'd been at the sauce. Razorlight at the Brighton Centre in 2006 was poor too, as the sound system was set up wrongly.

Bullet for my Valentine at the Dome a few years back. Left after a few songs, something I'd never done before and haven't done since.
The support was good though.

Worst hard to pick between The Slits, Paul Young, David Essex all we truly awful
Most disappointing Oasis, Police,
Expected to be bad but turned good Spice Girls, Hazel O'Conner, Meatloaf, Saxon
Expected to be good and exceeded expectations George Harrison, The Stranglers, The Clash, Thin Lizzy, ACDC, Whitesnake,

Everything in Moderation
Was forced, almost at gunpoint, to endure David Gray at the Brighton Centre. Everything was bad. Can still see that nutter drummer in his loud Hawaii shirt.

The Thrills at the Concorde.
Thought they were dreadful, everyone in the crowd was giving that impression too.
They went on to become Glastonbury band of whatever year followed!?

I was there, unfortunately. Appalling night. Happily slagged him off to anyone that has called him a 'legend' in the 20 years since.
Equally bad was Lou Reed who in front of 80k at Wembley Stadium supporting the Stones? Or U2? played a load of dull drivel which no'one had ever heard of and refused to play the only song everyone had heard of.
If they were boxers they'd have had to pay back their fight money as a 'no contest'
Disgrace the pair
Van the Scam phoning it in one night on a double headlner tour with Bob. Luckily the latter was on first so (for the first time ever) I walked early. Can't remember the date & think it was London Docklands Arena (which didn't help) but Van had Brian Kennedy doing a lot of 'co vocals' and looked totally disinterested. Tosser (that night anyway).
