Oh dear. Rock NYC was here first but everybody seems to agree Hole were not very good at Terminal 5. Jon Parales in the New York Times wrote: “She spent less than 50 minutes onstage, barely engaged the audience, stood in place and sang largely by rote. Her voice has never been pretty or in tune, but at this concert it was dilapidated whenever she wasn’t shouting, and it flagged as the short set went on. Her patter between songs, which has been free-form and entertaining in the past, was minimal and generic.”
Aquilante in the Post could well have cribbed his nothing much to see here review.
I heard somebody say (though I didn’t hear the line myself) Courtney say she forgot the drugs Tuesday night.
That might explain it.
Pareles said it was probably an off night.
