Any bands you regret seeing?

Muse

Band of Horses, 2008 - not that there was anything particularly wrong with them, but it meant I missed Elbow. I assumed Elbow would be back the next year, or the year after that. Still waiting...

[Steve P]

For me it was The Gorillaz, I fell for all the hype that was going round about them and the worst part was there was so much good stuff on at the same time. AARRGGGGG!!!!!!!

But it was my fault I should have left, I just kept waiting for the good stuff to start then it was over

[ItsBadForYa]

I was kinda disappointed with Gorillaz this year, especially as I enjoyed Plastic Beach, but I made the most of what I could.

This will hardly come as a surprise to many, but the worst band I've seen live was Oasis, in Belfast 2 years ago.

The performance was lazy and arrogant,(apart from Andy Bell, who displayed some effort, but ended up realising he would have to carry the rest of the band, so he decided he'd be better off looking as bored as they did) and the crowd was infested with louts who were intent on lobbing cups of beer and urine everywhere, and causing confrontations when and where they could.

It was my first and only time seeing Oasis, and I shed not one tear when I heard they'd split up last year.

The national was my second favorite set last year behind flaming lips. I can see why people who don't know there stuff wouldn't like them live though. I'm a massive fan though, going to see them on Monday night

The invisible, should have seen The Go! Team @ Summer Sundae.

[sisterofmercy]

Grizzly Bear, they were awfully lacklustre.

At Glastonbury:

Van Morrison

Paul Weller

Beautifull South

Stevie Wonder

[grumpyhack]

Some people it seems can deliver superb concerts on their own but just can't quite do Glastonbury.

I've seen Springsteen several times and his concerts have always been superb but I was disappointed at Glasto. It wasn't bad enough to regret seeing him but just not up to his previous shows.

The same with Van Morrison. When he's good he's untouchable but when he's bad he's dire.

[LEDZEP66]

Ledzep66 - A kindred spirit, my number 1 and 2 also. Hope you enjoyed Monday night, they were excellent at Warwick Arts Centre last Thursday - did you get the same magical end as we did?

I regret seeing Faithless this year at Glasto. In the light it doesn't really work and I didn't think Maxi sounded great. Should have been at Toots and the Maytals!

[amfy]

I was at Toots but towards the back to make a quick getaway for Stevie Wonder. Last time I saw Toots (2004 instead of Macca) I thought he had amazing energy - this time I really felt like he couldn't quite be arsed! So maybe you didn't miss much.

(tbf - On TV when I got back Toots looked like a pretty good gig at the front, but from where I was it was pretty lacklustre.)

[Octave Doctor]

Manu Chao and Rodrigo y Gabriela - I walked fast past both over the years and still regret the time spent listening..

[splinterbungee]

Regret attempting to see Gorillaz.

Got blocked and went back to park stage to see xx instead, even though I left there earlier to watch Gorrilaz but got stuck trying to get in pyramid. Regret not staying at park stage after Thom Yorke to watch Broken Bells. I haven't heard from anyone that watched them at the Park either.

[Chocscoffer]

The Who in 2007 - I was bored, not as good as I was expecting

Gorillaz - bored out of my mind.

Bruce Stringbean last year - I very nearly lost the will to live and after an hour I had to leave before I did something stupid!

[redmosquito]

Same. Very dissapointing.

I thought Faithless were excellent meself!

[sifi]

I think it's a bit of a duff slot, that one - just before the Sunday night headliner. With both Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and to a lesser extent Faithless this year, I felt certainly about halfway up the hill - that the crowd just weren't getting into it, maybe people are a bit tired out by then, or just waiting for the headliners, or all of the above, but neither show was good as I've seen both shows before, and I can't help but think it wasn't all on the performances themselves.

[Macca3031]

+1 for Gorillaz, everyone who went to The Flaming Lips loved it. I don't regret Prodigy over Blur as I had Hyde Park tickets and anyone who says the Glasto gig was better that's just because they went to it first

Tinchy Styrder. I suffered through his naff set whilst eating breakfast because I couldn't be arsed to move

Bruce last year. I stuck it out. Just not my thing I guess.
