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.

Clapton is a musician. Cooper is the performer !

@Picklebobble2 The gig was a double gig with Elton John on the same day (support from Bonnie Raite and Curtis Steigers too). Elton John was incredible (Back when he could still sing). Considering he was sat playing the piano. Cooper was mesmerizing! What a bloke! I was quite surprised the first time I heard him being interviewed, he is very well spoken!
