Im not a fan of his solo stuff.
Fleetwood Mac last gig of a world tour I think in the old Manchester City ground, it was one of the first times without Lindsey Buckingham, Rick Vito on guitar, Stevie Nicks looked coked off her face. Only one with any interest was Christine McVie good rest her soul.
We'd seen him earlier in the afternoon wasted and basically being carried into the venue so the writing was on the wall.
He came onstage during the support act (Vandenberg as I remember) and started monkeying around throwing drinks etc.
When he finally came on to play he was clearly still wasted and could hardly stand let alone play. I stayed for half an hour or so out of morbid fascination then left feeling cheated.
I'd also seen him at Sheffield Poly a year or so earlier when he sacked a similarly inebriated Graham Bonnet onstage.
I never seemed to have much luck with Schenker - still love him though.
Hawkwind Porchester Hall 2009, 40th anniversary gig. Big fan back in the day when they had energy and rough edges but this was Dave Brock collecting his pension at the Post Office dull.
Also, RIDICULOUSLY loud guitar. Absolutely no need for cranked 100w Marshalls at Wolverhampton Civic Hall. The sound guy put in a valiant effort, but there was no way of balancing the sound out against the sheer volume of the guitar without everything being unbearably loud.
The nearest I've personally seen was Michael Schenker during his wilderness years. Once when he was completely off his face during a support set at the Hammersmith Apollo, and another time on a G3 tour where he was going through a phase of dyeing his hair and beard black and wearing sunglasses. Nothing went wrong on the latter occasion, he just wasn't very good (as I recall it).
I went with @Paul_C .
Ollie Brown was the opening act and he was very good for a young chap.
Trout was the loudest act I’ve ever seen, including all the metal gigs I’ve been to.
The volume was beyond stupid. We left in the first song and I’m glad we did. The SPL was close to vomit inducing levels. It was painful just to be in there.
The people who stayed absolutely got some permanent hearing damage that night.
Even outside the double doors to the room it was still too loud for conversation. We ended up having a drink in the bar about 30 metres from the closed main doors to the room.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
Sound was good, and Plant was in very good voice, but there was so much dry ice smoke that it was getting hard to breathe in some places. My wife was really struggling so we left.
Can’t remember who the support was though.

I saw him at the local aircraft hanger supporting BB King and the volume wasn't extreme.. .but then we weren't in front of those Marshalls!
Only gig I've ever left midway was Bonamassa in the 90s? I was just bored with the blues noodling and lack of songs... It was me not him - just not my bag. Saw him with Black Country Communion at the last Hammersmith Odeon gig they did and that was a different story. How does Glenn Hughes still bring it at that age?!
