Camel...Portsmouth (bad enough having to go there, but in the back of an MG behind the drivers seat). They were abominable. I wish I'd got on stage and knifed them. Its the first gig I'd been to where the crowd sat down. Bloody shite the boring hippy twats.

Worst one I went to was with a mate who (still) is obsessed with Jethro (Dull) Tull, what a totally dull crap, I got bored stiff so went to the bar.

Whilst in the bar a girl, well she were about 40 came in and I said to her, 'not yer cup o tea either ?'. she was well cheesed off so I delighted in telling her about the merits of the Stranglers, he old man came for her at the end of the gig and he wasnt best pleased seeing me chatting up his missis.

Saw The Cult at the Manchester Apollo a few years ago. Absolute rubbish, couldn't get into it at all and over priced as well.

The worst thing was on Making your mind up. He didnt have the girls with him to whip off their skirts because it was a solo gig so he whipped his own trousers off instead! :shock:

Love the Bobby Gee story - ha ha!

Mine was probably All About Eve in Bristol early 1990ish. I actually fell asleep.

Ha ha, nice one!
I fell asleep at the Festival Hall during a performance of Handels Messiah, the gig was okay though, I was just knackered...
Got some filthy looks from the other punters and bruised ribs from my girlfriend who kept elbowing me every time I started snoring zzzz :smt015
Thank you very much

I wasn't even drunk. I had a couple of pints but the then girlfriend/ now wife dragged me along. So dull.
