The closest would have to be Elvis Costello on the "Ripping You Off
Like A Rose" tour. I've been pretty indifferent to EC for most of his
career, but I went just cos I thought it would be fun.
He was playing at a place called The World Music Theatre (big outdoor
pavillion south of Chicago in a suburb called Tinley Park). The sound
was so miserable-- it sounded like it had been mixed for the first
three rows, and the people sitting out on the lawn about 300 miles
away. And he was dull, dull, dull on stage. And since his voice isn't
the most dynamic thing in the world to begin with... he was lookin'
like some aged balding hippie on stage, who kept wandering around like
he was lost.
What made me angriest is this is the guy who was so angry about how
music is marketed and how music is treated in the press and all... and
he couldn't be fucked to walk into the middle of the house, and listen
to his band play during their soundcheck. Bonehead.
The band I **should** have hated after their show but didn't was
Midnight Oil on the Diesel And Dust tour. The hall (the Aragon
Ballroom) was oversold, it was about 73 million degrees in the
building, and the first two support acts were... lacking. The place
was so crowded that a girl standing next to me who had to be about
4'10" and about 90lbs couldn't see the band, and she wasn't strong
enough to worm her way out of the pack to get to a place where she
could get some air. Me and the other guy on her other side ended up
holding her up high enough so she could see the band, without
crowd-surfing her.
And the oils came on and did their thing. It was fantastic. They
could lead an army across the Pacific Ocean without benefit of ships or
breathing apparatus.
