Stereolab were kind of uninteresting when I went to see them many moons ago, also.

Not knowing what I was going to get going into Sigur Ros, I thought they had a middling show. I'm sure if I knew the music I'd have been happier. But they certainly weren't bad. Their stage show was pretty okay. We were transported to a magical faerie isle and treated to the airy sounds of the forest glade.

But if you have any sort of antipathy for that kind of music, yeah, it's gonna suck.

Speaking of lack of stage presence, I went to go see Why? last nite and I was fairly disappointed, for a number of reasons. First and foremost they were playing in a small venue that didn't allow them to move about or anything (the drums were terribly cramped) and the sound was fairly awful. Two, I only had Alopecia, so I only knew half the set, and that half I just couldn't get into. Three,
Yoni looks like Rick Moranis and has NO STAGE PRESENCE. The entire time he had a look on his face like he had stepped in something while getting a call from a hated ex. He made no eye contact. He only interacted with the audience to tell them not to touch the monitors at the edge of the stage.

Last few songs I knew, and I was able to get into (Simeon's Dilemma closed out, which was the Best Choice) but other than that I consider it to be one of the less good shows I've ever seen. The music doesn't matter to me so much as the performance.

Similarly, I hate when the audience does not welcome the band.  I went and saw The Ergs!, Bomb the Music Industry! and Landmines open for Less Than Jake, and almost no one moved during The Ergs! set besides perhaps ten people, and I was thoroughly disappointed about it because they kicked ass and seemed like genuinely great people.

KvP:
Yeah, that's always tough. You have to feel sorry for the more small-time openers. Shit, you have to feel sorry for some of the big-time openers.

Thrillho:
You ever seen Nick live?
