The worst live performances.....

There are some awful ones from Clapton in the 70s where he's beyond pissed, and he's also a nasty belligerent drunk. There was a doc about him on BBC4 in November, pretty dark.

 

Have you seen Supersonic the Oasis doc? A great watch, but when they were trying to break the US they were using crystal meth (which Noel describes as "speed for ninjas" lol). Whoever wrote the setlists for this one gig, wrote all the lists in different orders but they were too fucked to notice they were all trying to play different songs cos they'd been up about 2 days IIRC! :d

Talking of Dexy's Midnight Runners, in the 80s they had a hit with a song called "Jackie Wilson Said", with the song title referencing a US soul singer.

 

When they performed it on Top Of The Pops, one of the people who worked on the show thought that the song was called "Jocky Wilson Said", and put up a huge photo of the darts player, Jocky Wilson, in the background during their performance, lool: -

Holy fuck ..:)

 

 

 

WTF is going on here? lol.

 

FLOL.. I remember watching this back in the day.

 

 

I quite like some of their stuff but almost all of Dexys tracks were straight lifts from other artists (they were especially fond of nicking melodies from old Northern Soul tunes)

 

This Jimmy James and the Vagabonds track is a case in point where the vocals sound exactly like the chorus from Come On Eileen.
