For example I saw the Killers and the Kings of Leon live and they were shite. Saw Florence and the Machine live though and they were excellent.
I think it comes from years of gigging, in the 70s, 80's that was about the only way to promote an album...just to play any available venue. Bands become big stadium bands really quickly these days, and i agree sometimes it shows.
Sorry..cant pick one particular concert..far too many great nights
