Have you ever been to a gig and been underwhelmed by the band/artist you'd really looked forward to seeing live for the first time?

Mine was Eric Clapton at Wembley stadium in 1992. Technically peerless, but for me no stage presence at all..Ray Cooper carried him and was such a performer.

Never had the opportunity to watch Eric Clayton live but would've thought he would be amazing live.

@Random1Thoughts This is the thing; I almost feel like it's heracy to say he was anything but wonderful, but he didn't move me. Having said that, he went up and down the fret board for two minutes before the opening half dozen notes of Layla and the place went ballistic!

Tears in heaven is my favourite Eric Clapton. I know what you mean, I was at a Pink concert and her voice didn't wow me. She did all the acrobatic moves but the music itself was meh.

However, Adele was amazing. That lady sounds better live. She doesn't move much, but what a voice! I was wowed after her concert.

@Random1Thoughts Adele irritates me, I think she's trite..Variations on how she's been dumped/dumped him and getting over it/not getting over it.

I wasn't a fan, ex boyfriend brought me the ticket for our anniversary. Her vocal performance was outstanding. Singing live, she's spot on!
