There's nothing more painful than seeing Fleetwood Mac performing 'Landslide'.
God, I think Stevie Nicks has kind of a cool yet strange voice, but on 'Landslide' she truly sounds like an agonizing goat.

I agree.
She's too much for me.

I should have replied to this earlier, but ...
I saw REO Speedwagon in Champaign Illinois (their birthplace) in 1982 I think. I found them uninspiring, cheesy, bland and predictable, and falling far short of their You Get What You Play For live album. It probably does not help that I am more fond of the older REO songs (Little Queenie cover, Keep Pushin, and Golden Country etc) rather than when they were a Top 40 band.

first, as to REO
Saw them shortly after the live double LP was released. Richrath was unbelievable, the concert terrific! REO, Nazareth, and some nonames were on the bill. We arrived and listened to the horrible first band. Dreadful!
Then they started playing 'Love Hurts'.....
REO's Nine Lives concert May'80 was superb. Opened with 'Sophisticated Lady' and 'Like You Do' and kept right on jammin' all night. Went to The Silver Dollar Saloon in East Lansing afterwards. About an hour later, they showed up and jammed for about 45 minutes. Pretty cool stuff indeed.
Pity that Cronin pushed them too much towards the bland and ballad crap.
to megamike: So you saw Dakota at Joe Louis in 1980, too!?!?!?! I couldn't get enough of them, and travelled to Cleveland just so I could see their next gig.
If push came to shove, I guess I'd have to say the headliners both of those nights were slightly better.
Seriously........what a waste of time. Since Queen didn't use a warmup band in '78 in Kzoo, and they were bigger in '80, we busted a gut to be at the Joe before 8pm figuring that's when the boys would perform. At least we had time to grab a brew or two before the main event.
