Coolest vs Least Cool Concerts
 

Let's see who has the greatest separation.

I'll open with:
Extremely Cool- Bela Fleck Little Worlds Tour featuring Vic Wooten on Bass
Height of Dorkiness- Kansas with a new lead singer

Very cool - Moby at the TLA in 1997 or Velvet Revolver at Electric Factory
Least Cool - GNR in 2002 at the First Union Center when Axl forgot to show and there was a near-riot.

That's pretty much not cool.

most cool - bloodlet at the fireside bowl 1998
least cool - amy grant - chicago, 1985. veryveryvery not cool. thanks mom and dad.

least cool: joe cocker, 1976?, when he was so wasted he couldn't even finish the first set and was carried off the stage.
coolest: chicago with earth, wind & fire this past summer, because i am old and nostalgic and i don't care if i look stupid when i dance!

coolest - SRV at the Paladium in LA early 80's ( HE ROCKED the house !!!!!)

Least coolest - Barry Manilo in the mid 70's ( my Mom PAID me to go with my sister ) , The whole place was full of screaming , crying teen age girls carrying stuffed animals .

Most cool - Genesis, Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Tour, 1975
Least cool - Jefferson Starship with a blazingly drunk Grace Slick, 1974 "Dragonfly" tour.

Most cool: The Chieftains with Sarah McLachlan and Ron Sexsmith, Riverport Amphitheatre, St. Louis, 1995
Least cool: Butthole Surfers, Riverport Amphitheatre, St. Louis, 1993

eww.:vomit:

I saw them twice...their opening bands were way cooler:

--Flaming Lips and Stone Temple Pilots in 1993
--The Nixons, the Reverend Horton Heat and Toadies in 1996

coolest: paul simon, Graceland tour
Dorkiest (and, I do believe I win this category) Bay City Rollers!

Coolest was Julian Cope, acting as Reynard the Fox and committing suicide by Stanley knife on a climbable mic stand.

Dorkiest was that afore-mentioned Asia... but on their *second* tour. It was bad, really bad.

coolest: kd lang at the Wiltern, LA ca. '87 (honourable mention: DEVO ~'84)
worst: Iron Butterfly ~'67 (the place -- Rose Palace, Pasadena -- was crawling with cops/narcs)
weirdest: Little Richard at the Olympic Auditorium, LA -- the stage collapsed with him atop his piano!

Coolest: Mark Knopfler, Sailing to Philadelphia (2005) Mann Center
Crappiest: Toad the Wet Sprocket, ~1995, CWRU

Least cool: a tie between Loverboy and Night Ranger, both in '80-something.

Coolest: I can't decide...some top contenders are: David Bowie '04, Robert Cray '98, Betty and Troublefunk--New Year's Eve '87, and Ice-T with Biohazard '95(?).
