I saw Robert Cray a few years ago. It was a decent performance, but the guy played for 50 minutes!! That was AFTER the encore. It was literally the biggest musical ripoff ever.
Those are some big shoes to fill. George No Show Jones was legendary. I saw Dickie Betts walk off after two songs and my wife saw Van Morrison leave after one. Those are the ones I can think of I’m sure there are some classic ones out there.
Undoubtedly....but that was Cray’s NORMAL SET at the time. 50 mins. That’s it. It was the worst cost per minute per value show I ever experienced. I mean...it was good playing, but dude, break a sweat for the coin I’m paying.
One of my friends said he went to a Donna Summer concert at Ravinia outside Chicago in the 90s. She performed for about 45 minutes and then left. He was furious.
And then there’s Morrissey from The Smiths, more famous for his cancellations than his concerts....
Clapton performed for 35 minutes at the Capital Center after the release of 461 Ocean Boulevard. Reason for the early exit... Eric felt ill.
