Van Morrison, at the men absolutely shite
I'm not a fan of Van Morrison but a guy I used to work with had seen him a number of times. He said that half of his gigs were brilliant the other half crap. He said you could tell what mood he was in when he walked onto the stage! Odd that he kept going back.

REM 1995 went with a girl I was seeing at Huddersfield’s ground
they were proper dog shit, lots of people were disappointed didn’t really worry me as I didn’t like them,only went as we had a hotel booked afterwards who have you seen that was awful.
I'm a big fan of REM, however i found out recently that michael stipe is a big fan of morrissey and from that point i think less of them. I can see how they would be shit on stage. Great band though, some class songs in there.

I had this outstanding album in the late 60s by a band called Love, the album was Forever Changes.
Anyway they played at Free Trade Hall circa 1970, I loved the album and couldn't wait.
The main singer/leader was Arthur Lee.
He was pissed as a fart and was terrible, he actually said ' if anyone's come here to hear Forever Changes, you can fuck off'
They just played really heavy stuff but Lee was all over the place.
People just walked out.

Aretha Franklyn - “performed” a 45 minute medley of songs sandwiched between a bit of wailing from her gospel choir. No interaction with the audience, no encore.

Festivals give you a chance to see artists who you normally would not pay to see.
Have seen tens of artists at a Hungarian festival (Sziget) where a lot of the audience have no idea of the band's music.
Some work their socks off to impress such as the Manics, Madness, Vaccines, Blossoms, Kasabian and Pulp. Many of the American acts are professional as well.
But some artists just can't be arsed and have no rapport with the audience e.g. Lily Allen, Kings of Leon, Jake Bugg, Ellie Goulding, Roisin Murphy.
The most arrogant dick I've seen at a festival though is Terry Hall of The Specials. The other band members gave their all, but temperamental Terry was arrogant with almost a disdain for the crowd...
