The Worst Performance Ever - Really

I always think of the late 60's and early 70's as the high point for rock and roll, but this is absolutely the worst thing I have ever seen in my life. Try to watch it all the way through, as it's so bad that it actually becomes good. That's not easy. Most bad things are just bad, but this is exceptionally bad, which is not as easy as you think. Enjoy.

I thought The Who's performance at the Super Bowl a few years back was one of the saddest thing I've ever seen. If the show hadn't been so elaborately staged, I'd have assumed there was an issue with the monitors and they couldn't hear one another.

And to think as a teenager my buddies and I would sit and listen to Lord Sutch & Heavy Friends while doing things teens did during that period in time. I liked it at the time, but not one tune is memorable. I do remember the album cover with the Union Jack painted on the Rolls.

Not only is it lame but it's a total ripoff of Screaming Jay Hawkins (remember "I Put a Spell on You?") who used to use a coffin prop on stage. Lord Suck even stole the "Screaming" name. What a loser--he's certainly no Arthur Brown, who could sing and had an interesting visual act (as well as good musicians in his band).

could not get through it. don't think anyone really like Sutch at the time, I didn't know anyone who did. Notice that no one in the audience is dancing or doing anything except waiting for it to be over.

agree about the lame Who superbowl show. Except for McCartney, all the recent ones have been disappointing.
