Tom Jones was great.
Deep Purple were okay but Blackmore was rubbish. Off to see them with Morse next week. If he can remember most of the songs he will be one up on Ritchie.

Also disappointing was Lou Reed- in a bad mood & rushing some of the songs.
Stunningly good, but unknown or unexpected-
Doll By Doll early 80's sometime, supporting Hawkwind who were very poor, hearts not in it, though normally great. Despite getting an absolutely shit reception Doll By Doll really did their best & I'd never heard anything like them, really intense.
The Black Diamond Heavies, then still with their guitarist, Supporting The Immortal Lee County Killers, never heard of them before- nothing to touch them for a long time after.
The reformed Green On Red, London Astoria about 2006- just wow. I was worried I'd find it embarrassing & all back slapping reunion stuff, not in the least, a proper show & they were totally on it. Was not happy to find I missed them in Glasgow a couple of years later.

I saw them a few years ago at the last Monsters of Rock, right after Alice Cooper. Whilst DP were awesomes, after Alice they were like a post orgasmic chill.
Incidentally I saw Ted Nugent on the same day, total shite, all the songs sounded the same. I went primarily for Deep Purple, Alice Cooper and Queensryche, so wasn't disappointed by Ted.

Blue oyster cult
Or Blue Oyster Cult ( at least that's what I'm assuming! if I'm wrong delete all my previous posts!)
There was always lots of conspiracy theories about monsters of rock and the sound.
The first year I went Bon jovi and their label mates Cinderella had fantastic sound, whereas Dio had ok sound and the up and coming Metallica had truly shocking sound.
Only Bon jovi and Cinderella got a sound check.
I remember Bruce Dickinson saying that the following year when iron maiden were headlining that all bands playing would get a sound check before.
Of course this may all be rubbish , but as a 16 year old I believed everything kerrang said.
Also Bon jovi's helicopter flew in very low right in the middle of Metallica's set
So it's quite possible that some bands were poor at monsters of rock
