Thread Name: worst performances live acts
Subject: RE: worst performances live acts
As a lifelong Newcastle United fan I've seen my share of shite performances over the years, but musically I have to add to the list of Bob Dylan duds: Isle of Wight. Good grief.

I walked out on the Walker Brothers and Mott the Hoople, but I have to add myself to the list for an embarrssing performance in the Bolivar, Darlington, circa 1969. And take note of this lest you are tempted to try something similar. Don't EVER sing Fleetwood Mac's 'Long Gray Mare' without the band playing the intro first so you can hit the right key. I was off by a mile and never got it back. The audience AND the band pissed themselves laughing. I still have nightmares ...
