Probably a tie between Alanis Morisette and RHCP

I was surprised at both stinking so bad...

Alanis due to the ticket prices, her being obviously checked out and only performing for about 45-50 minutes...

RHCP had the energy you expected but sounded like crap. It was really bad.

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.

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

Your right. I heard wrong.

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

They have a couple really good songs.

A couple!??

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.

USANA sucks as a concert space IMO. Too open

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.

Large venues = poor sound quality — U2 Mile High Stadium

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

RHCP sounded bad live? That’s hard to believe

Might have just been a bad technical set up

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

Seconded on RHCP. Delta center in 2000. Horrible.

5/4/19 12:36pm

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

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

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

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

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