IIRC it may have been Beck and Aerosmith at that particular show. I know I saw Aerosmith during that time period and they were without doubt just plain awful.

They were still drinking and drugging back then. Tyler fell flat on his face during the performance. To top it all off there was a fire at the venue, Comiskey Park, right in the middle of the show. I was inches from bolting for the exits. LOL.

For years I put Aerosmith in my Top 5 Worst Live Bands Ever. They were tied with the Grateful Dead.

Absolutely. Boring. Black Sabbath was another snoozer. With a few exceptions, bands who don’t have great musicians-—but only have songs-—have trouble live. One approach is that of the Eagles, which is to play every song exactly like the record, and some concertgoers like that. I prefer to see what I CAN’T hear on vinyl, or, in today’s case, digital downloads.
