Interpol, SLC — August or September 2007

I was really excited for this show, but their guitar tech and sound guys should have been fired on the spot. They sounded awful for two out of every three songs and it didn’t help that the album they were touring was underwhelming compared to their first two.

What is the WORST concert you’ve ever been to.

Face 2 Face. Not the LDS production. The band. Kind of blah.

Blocked. Reported. We can never be friends.

They are awesome. But live was extremely disappointing. Probably wasn't their fault, the audio was horrible.

They’re coming to SLC soon I believe. With The Offspring I think.

Holy Driver

I don't think so...they were here a month or 2 ago with Flogging Molly.

Your right. I heard wrong.

Holy Driver

5/4/19 5:36pm

Same. I've probably seen them 6-7 times, they're always great.

fredgarvin

They have a couple really good songs.

RalphWiggam

A couple!??

Hoax

Okay...a few.

Five Iron Frenzy and their opening acts stuck out as particularly bad.

Mine is Jack Johnson at USANA. No energy and he sounded flat the whole night.

Santos L. Halper

5/4/19 10:05am

So, pretty much as expected.

John Doe

USANA sucks as a concert space IMO. Too open

One of the best concerts I’ve been to.

You're lucky, they didn't really even try at the one I was at.

U2. Not because of the band but the venue. We were so far from the stadium couldn't tell what songs were being played.

Chemish

5/4/19 10:08am

Large venues = poor sound quality — U2 Mile High Stadium

We saw them at Sam Boyd, and it/they were awesome

Foreigner and Journey at Smith's Ballpark, early 1990s. Very poor sound system.

Kurt Bestor and the piano guys are neck and neck. Both bad!

Yikes. That’s a rough show

The Cars Heartbeat City

Probably a tie between Alanis Morisette and RHCP

BlackBart

5/4/19 10:48am

RHCP sounded bad live? That’s hard to believe

boorad

5/4/19 11:59am

Might have just been a bad technical set up

BlackBart

5/4/19 3:22pm

Yep, unless late 80s & some of blood sugar tour smack days, very rare to see

MatthiasG

5/5/19 2:01pm

Seconded on RHCP. Delta center in 2000. Horrible.

Fin

5/4/19 12:36pm

I've heard RHCP are bad live from quite a few people.

Dillinger

5/4/19 12:49pm

Nah. Keidis maybe off, the band tight as it gets unless go waaay back.

Ryan Adams. Sooooooo boring. I ended up leaving early

jes2332

5/4/19 10:54am

Bummer, he was great when Ive seen him. Much prefer him live to his studio stuff

Dillinger

5/4/19 11:01am

It was weird. He came out sat on a chair and just stared at the ground

jes2332

5/4/19 11:13am

Really different than my experiences with him. He is a lunatic though so who

Dillinger

Taylor Swift. Great performer but she’s awful live.

Tove Lo

Death Cab for Cutie. Not the band but horrible venue and weather at Thanksgiving

Loon to the Moon

5/4/19 11:02am

Smashing Pumpkins. 1996 at Thomas and Mack in Las Vegas. Absolutely awful.

pink22

Counting Crows

5/4/19 11:19am

Jimmy Eat World. One of my favorite bands, but they sounded awful live.

Chadillac

5/4/19 12:16pm

I saw them in like 1999. Clarity had recently came out and they were on tour

jes2332

5/4/19 12:31pm

They we’re good when I saw them in 2001ish but couldn’t compete with the other

Band of Horses. Absolutely terrible live and nearly killed them for me

cougarnerd

I like hip hop but every hip hop show I’ve been to is garbage.

Cake at the big a$* show in SLC '99. So terrible. Shoe hit the lead singer

Latoya Jackson at our county fair. Yeah, they really bring in the headliners.

Smashmouth opening for U2. U2 was awesome, but Smashmouth was even worse than I

RUNBYU1

Aerosmith in 01 or 02(?). They broke up shortly thereafter, so it wasn't entirely surprising in retrospect.

SpiffCoug

5/4/19 4:56pm

All American Rejects or Jimmy Eat World

RUNBYU1

AAR is horrendous live. And pretty poor in CD form also.

Dillinger

No doubt
