Black Sabbath - First time they were great, second time they had major technical problems with the sound which could not be rectified on the night.

Gary Moore at St David's Hall - the balance of the sound was all wrong. The bass was far too loud, which meant that all GM's solo's were drowned out. Me and a mate even went to a different part of the auditorium to see if the sound was better. It wasn't.

Rainbow - Yet again Mr Blackmore was a great letdown live. Played for himself not his audience.
I enjoyed seeing Clapton live but agree about the lack of personality.
Rainbow were disappointing because they only played about half an hour
Pink Floyd were zero personality, barely acknowledged that the audience was present and played everything exactly as it is on the album.
Van Morrison was a grumpy old git singing out of tune.
