My Worst “Good” Concerts were also very forgettable so hadda really dig deep into the memory banks.
1974 - Fleetwood Mac - FMac with Bob Welch, pre-Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, “Oh Well” just wasn’t the same without Peter Green, bored spitless until they played “Got Me Hypnotized” and then went back to a snoozefest.
Sept. 19, 1972 Mark-Almond Band and Joe Cocker - M-AB was an early jazz-rock group and while great on FM radio, the music just didn’t translate too well in concert…at least not for us in those hazy daze. Joe put on a rather uninspired show and mighta had a few too many adult beverages before hitting the stage. He slurred his words badly so coupled with his thick English accent, couldn’t understand a single word whether he was talking or singing.
Feb. 6, 1975 - Tower of Power - my initial exposure to them was pretty much a dud. They didn’t seem as tight and polished as their albums. Our seats weren’t the greatest so that mighta been a factor too. But, saw them twice afterwards and they were GREAT shows (…probably should have listed them as Honorable Mentions in my Top 5 Concerts…).
Aug. 5, 1972 - Rare Earth - hadda take my younger cousin from Hilo to the show. I wasn’t much of a fan of the group so “endured” the concert. I know my cousin enjoyed it and who knows, it mighta been a good show, I just wasn’t into it.
I’mma sure there are others that should / could make this list but may have been successfully erased.
Edit: Another one came to mind:
Aug. 11, 1979 - Beach Boys - Aloha Stadium - horrible sound, rained at one point, miserable day
