The Babys sans John Waite. 3 beers, 1 steak, and 8 songs in, I figured out the stocky guy who resembled John Waite was actually John Bisaha. While he was talented and sounded great, this S.O.B. knew 99% of the crowd though he was JW.
""Hey, arnt they going to do'Change' and 'Missing you'? Maybe some Bad English too?' Where the hell is John's 'butt chin'?"

Karaoke John.

Tame Impala after "I'm A Man"
Stereolab
Cher
Molly Hatchet
 
Stereolab .... Everything But the Girl on diet pills. They failed to rock, piddled around with the bleep/bloop shit - art school dropouts wanking on synths they couldn't really play very well.
 
I saw Tame Impala at Psychfest in 2015 (?). An embarrassment - I don't dig the fey, gloaming ballads, and the sentiments are trite at best. Kevin Parker's audience banter was painful.
 
And let's not get me going on the Jon Spencer Blues I Am A Male Model Who Went To Brown Who Is Too Stupid To Realize My Appropriation of African American Culture Is Offensive Explosion.

I "saw" Dylan a few years back ... fuck you, Bob! That was some hardcore bullshit, that show. Wished I'd stayed home and watched "Don't Look Back."
 
Actually, one of my favorite albums of all time is Peng! And I like other things Tim has done. They were just horrible live.
 
Ladytron. It was like they'd gone out of the way to make the show as unpleasant as possible. They had continuous strobes set up behind the band and shining directly into the audience's eyes, so that everyone in the crowd were looking through their fingers, or straight up looking away. They were the loudest band I've ever heard by far (much louder than Electric Wizard, for example), and when they played really low notes on the synths I could feel my heart vibrate. I also noticed that the Fender Twin they were using near the front of the stage was maxed out on 10s. It was an ordeal.

Horrendous.

I had a much nicer experience with them. Well balanced sound, nice stage lighting, great show. There was a circle of these beautiful pagan looking girls in yoga pants and hippies clothes dancing together. I desperately wanted to be in the middle of their group, but alas they were blissfully unaware of anything else but the music.
