Worst ever guitar gig

Posted by: central on 16 April 2004

No doubt about this one Tal Farlow with Andy somebody or other in the mid 90's in a jazz club in Bham, boring to the point of nausea.

Oh and Yngwie Malmsteen.

Not the worst gig itself but the worst ever support act I ever saw. The concert was Eric Clapton in 1976 (I think) and the act was called Mr Pugh's Puppet Theatre. It was, in effect, a fairly vulgar Punch and Judy show. Glasgow audiences are not noted for their patience at the best of times and Mr Pugh was hooked within about 10 minutes as far as I remember. Absolutely atrocious and I don't know what E.C. was thinking about.

Sounds like the supports for Zeppelin at 89 Knebworth, Think hard rock, think Chas and Dave?i think Peter Grant was pretty smart.

He was most likely pissed for most of 76.

Yngwie Malmsteen, Nottingham c.1990 - absolute crap, the guy only has one solo and the vocalists singing and audience rapport went down like a lead ballon
