Are you refering to The Who?Originally posted by mixedmedia:
I saw the B-52s get booed off the stage opening for The Who. Didn't get the chance to see if they sucked or not.

mixedmedia said:No, the B-52s. They didn't get through their first song. The Who were incredible, of course.
cnredd said:Remember...Jimi Hendrix got booed off of the stage when he opened for the Monkees...
mixedmedia said:Really? I've never heard that before. Jimi Hendrix opened for the Monkees? And was booed off the stage - by swooning pre-teens no doubt. Good grief, what a world...
That may be comforting for the B52s to know but hey, I know and you know they're no Jimi Hendrix....as much as I like them both! It was really awful to watch though, people were throwing cups full of beer and soda at them and screaming terrible insults. Really a low moment for me as an Orlandoan.

The B-52s PROBABLY weren't booed off because of a "bad" show...More likely because they weren't "in their element"...Same with Jimi....
This thread is "Bad LIVE Bands"...There's a difference between that and playing to crowd that doesn't "adhere" to your style...
REO Speedwagon or The Moody Blues could put on a 2 hour show that dazzles and proves they can be among the best live shows around...
Have them open for Metallica and see how many of the band members make it out alive after 10 minutes...
mixedmedia said:I realize I went a little "off topic" by bringing it up. I didn't realize that this chatty sort of thread required such strict adherence. I am well aware that what I witnessed had nothing to do with the band's performance and everything to do with the audience's pre-conceived attitudes towards its members. I did provide two other relevant examples, though.
cnredd said:Strict adherance?...That better be sarcasm coming from someone who is currently having a discussion about food and closet partisans in the "Member Pic" thread!:doh :2wave:
The Who are a must see concert band. Or was. I saw them 5 times (only once with Keith Moon) and they kicked major ass!Originally Posted by mixedmedia:

Actually it was the pre-swooning teenage mommies that brought their 13 and 14 year olds to the concert and sat in horror as this black guy came out and started fuucking his guitar!Originally Posted by mixedmedia:
