I took this from a discussion on another thread and decided it badly needed its own conversation (well, not that badly, but it could be fun). Have you ever walked out on a concert? The one I related previously was this: I saw John Fogerty in the mid-80s expecting I would hear some Creedence Clearwater Revival songs. Little did I know at the time that Fogerty was embroiled in a court battle with his old label and he wouldn't play any of his Creedence songs because he refused to play royalties for his own songs (I guess I missed the whole imbroglio in the papers, and of course there was no interwebs). Although I now understand the reasons he refused to play the songs, I must admit listening to him sing f*cking "Centerfield" and other such tripe was rather dismaying and I walked out halfway through. I wouldn't have bought tickets in the first place had I known. I also once went to a Kid Rock/Uncle Cracker show because of my then-girlfriend. What people will do for sex.

Well I already mentioned the Aqua incident. I once saw Bob Dylan on the huge Orange stage at the Roskilde Festival. He must've thought it was a small and smokey bar he'd be playing, because they were exactly 4 guys in a tiny circle up on this gargantuan scene doing old school skiffles and toned down blues tracks. What a disaster! He amended the mistake by playing there a couple of years after, where he went all out and brought everybody but the freakin seacaptain - suddenly you got a brass section, organs, backing singers, piano man and a Dylan who actually moved. It's the only time I've ever seen a "mushpit" outside of a metal gig, but then again I was the one instigating it together with a couple friends, who'd all been drinking warm white wine and strange drinks with fire together with your's truly. We started out as 5 and ended up a couple of hundred people all furiously pacing about in this huge circle. Fun times. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Tangerine Dream at Glasgow Apollo circa 1978. Forever hence I renamed them 'Margarine Dream' Three stoned, hirsute and badly dressed German hippies stationed behind synthesizer workstations is not a spectator sport. One of the venue roadies told me that Peter Baumann described Glasgow as 'reason enough to build your own Berlin Wall' Highlight of the evening was when Edgar Froese stood up to play a guitar solo. The audience were so chipped off their tits that Sooty berating Sweep for a slight on the former's squeeze Soo would have been deemed cosmiche maaan. -------------

Boss Hog (the Jon Spencer offshoot fronted by his wife) My worst gig is easily one of my absolute concert going highlights! Frontwoman Cristina Martinez stumbled on stage, looked mighty pissed off and more than a little wasted. She was singing into a microphone that clearly wasn't working, and when a poor roadie raced on stage to try and fix it, she booted him square in the balls from behind. She then took an instant dislike to a poor girl that had clearly been dragged along by her boyfriend, she got down on all fours like she was stalking the girl, singing directly into her eyes for about three minutes straight with this mocking scorn! She then got up and hurled herself into the crowd, starting wildly swinging punches and kicks at everyone (my mate copped a nasty bloody gash from her heels down his leg!), she then got back on stage and called a girlfriend out, and they finished the set in what can only be described as bad drunk karaoke! Despite being the lead act, all up I think they played a little over 45 minutes before heading off?!

I can't really think of any, usually if the set is bad I generally manage find something to amuse me. I saw Brit Death/Metalcore band http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/labrat" rel="nofollow - Labrat stagger on stage pissed as farts, announce themselves as LA Brat in a really terrible drawling 'Merican accent and then proceeded to play their set as some kind of Sludge Metal - Country and Western hybrid - it was truly awful but at the same time hilariously funny. I once walked out on Metallica, not because it was bad but because it was arse-numbingly boring, half-way through I thought to myself - if that twonk plays drum solo I'm going home. Sure enough Ulrich lurched into a plodding drum solo that I could still hear from the car-park. ------------- What? |

I can honestly say I've never been to a really bad gig but I have had a couple of painful experiences that I could have done without - 1) Ted Nugent trying to shatter a glass ball with feedback.  2) Sammy Hagar having a guitar "battle" with his other guitarist (which he won, believe it or not

Don't think I've ever really been to a "bad concert". Most times I'm just caught up in the fun and excitement of seeing a band I like live. Generally sh*t gigs are like, when I go to local ones with bands I don't know and they're all pretty boring. But usually I'd go to these as a punter and so I'd just grab a drink and politely clap after every song, whether I'm actually paying attention or not. That said, I did see McBusted last year, with support by the Backstreet Boys and Five. Mainly went to see the Backstreet Boys and was super pissed when the didn't perform! Five were awesome though. I did complain and was offered two tickets to the same gig in another city, which I gave to my sister as I couldn't make it. Never did see the Backstreet Boys though, and don't care about McBusted.

Charlie Haden and Quartet West at the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, Mass.The DeCordova venue is an outside amphitheater in a wooded location. It would have been pleasant, but it was an extremely hot and humid day. Hot and humid didn't bother me then, but every 2 or three minutes Haden would stop the band and spend a long time retuning his bass. What should have been an exceptional concert was a frustrating mess. ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

My Ex was really into Mt Life with the Thrill Kill Cult. I thought they were okay until she took me to a show. They were basically an air-band syncing to a recording and it was really obvious. I walked out. I also saw the Replacements last show at grant park in Chicago. Couldn't really see the stage well from where I was and after four songs it just stopped. Paul Westerberg had walked off the stage. That was that for the concert and the band. ------------- a.k.a. H.T. http://riekels.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow - http://riekels.wordpress.com |

Everyone is naming some really good bands, so I don't feel so badly! My chum Leroy and I went to see Marillion in the early 1990s, thinking it was the version with Fish. However, Fish was long gone, and the version we saw was numbingly boring. We left about 3/4 of the way through the show. I never understood why the band we saw was so bad, as they had received such positive reviews on PA. Otherwise, I've seen tons of bad shows - The Tubes (left shortly after they began), John Entwhistle's solo band (so loud it was painful, but we stuck it out), Ted Nugent (who was outplayed by his backup guitarist), and a few others I'm forgetting. I'd say that my satisfaction rate for concerts attended is well over 90%. Jethro Tull TAAB, Yes CTTE, ELP BSS, and KC LTIA were several key shows! |

I saw them back in 1998 and thought them as animated as any gothic/doom meta band is likely to be. I did fall asleep during Cathedral's set at Bloodstock indoor - but in their defence it had been a long day of intense metal music after a 200 mile drive and I had drunk quite a lot of ale so not even they could stave-off the pull of Morpheus... ------------- What? |

I saw Type O back in 97 during the October Rust tour. One of the best gigs I've ever attended. They even broke out the covers and did Cinnamon Girl, Black Sabbath and Light my Fire. They must've played 2 hours and 45 minutes before finishing off with a very intoxicated Pete Steele ripping all 4 strings out of his bass guitar with one big violent pull. The man was a bear.

I've generally had good luck with concerts but 3 stand out. The Stranglers on the Feline tour at Newcastle, they got into a standoff with security and refused to play until security left. It lasted about 15 minutes until security gave up at left fearing ariot. The crowd proceeded to trash the place, awful. The Toy Dolls played the Newcastle Student Union, they were a small time punk band who had a hit with a cover of Nellie the Elephant. They played a total of 6 songs of which 3 were Nellie the Elephant. Must of been a total of 30 minutes if that. Magnum in Redcar, band were great but halfway through the set someone stole a guitar pedal off the stage. The band refused to play until it was returned, there was a good natured standoff with stuff being thrown for about 10 minutes. When we saw a turd in a plastic glass fly through the air we decided it was time to leave. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

For me, the most disappointing concert I've ever been to is the Steeleye Span in Gothenburg, don't remember the year. Not only were they two hours late, but when they finally got on, they were so stoned they could hardly find their instruments, and Maddy couldn't stand up straight, had to hang on to the mic stand. It's the only time I've actually booed a performance, (if you could call it that). |

Not really bad, but the time I was most disappointed was when I saw Coheed & Cambria opening for Alice In Chains and Jane's Addiction (so I wasn't too bummed with those two following). Their drummer was sick and didn't perform, so they turned their show into an acoustic set. Not much they really could've done, but I wanted to hear a hard-hitting, full on performance. I love acoustic versions of other bands, but C&C isn't really one I want to hear that kind of thing. ------------- http://gamercards.exophase.com/xbox/user/MillsLayne/" rel="nofollow">  ht |

A friend of mine and I went to see Lisa Loeb back in 1998 or so, hoping to see a swarm of cute girls wearing glasses. It turned out to be a total sausage fest. I only knew one song of hers (a minor hit that I can't recollect anymore) and her tunes were quite boring. We didn't stay long. In 1997 I saw the Cranes perform. Unfortunately their new album had just come out that turned out to be a failed attempt at a more mainstream sound (called "4") and they played a lot of songs from it. What was worse though was the horrible acoustics of the venue...some club in Toronto...and the fact that the singer's microphone kept blasting feedback. Really annoying. Rasputina opened and were far more enjoyable and whose style actually worked better acoustically in that awful place.

Micky and I walked out of the Dream Theater set at the the Merriweather Post Pavilion (ProgNation 2010) after a mere three songs. It felt like being bludgeoned over the head for a straight half an hour, and any notion of finally "getting" them when seeing them on stage was dispelled by that experience. However, if I have to mention the worst concert experience of the past few years, this dubious award goes to UK's abysmal set at NEARfest 2012. Though know many will disagree with me, that was an awful way to end the festival's glorious history. Besides the almost 2-and-a-half-hour wait for their set to start, the performance itself was so subpar that even "Starless" (one of my favourite songs of all time) felt like torture. |

Sadly, Metallica's "Justice" show in '88 was a mess. I think they were pretty drunk and the sound was dreadful. Honorable mention to the Dead in '86.

Alex would agree with you, she was so fed up with the wait for them to finally start she still grumbles about it 3 years later, it took a little of the edge off her first festival. I actually enjoyed UK's performance but I'd expected the horrendous delay given Jobson did the same thing two years earlier.

Until now, the worst concert I've seen was LaMorte Young, a so-called "supergroup" of noise music... which I found more boring than a New Age recital: the drummer was the only one apparently alive and conscious. The other musicians seemed to be on their own little worlds.

The worst concert I've seen was also one of the best I've seen. My band played a local festival show once. Desiring to support the local music scene we stuck around after our show to listen to the other bands. Most of them weren't bad, many of them forgettable, but not bad. Until a band called Amazing Energy stepped up on stage. Their music was mediocre, but fun. Punky, moderately well played. Really loud. Whatever. The real revels were the members themselves. First off, they suckered some poor college girl into playing rainstick that show, no mic, no other percussion. Enter Reginald something, who goes by Scott Panther onstage. An overweight middle-aged salt-and-pepper sweating profusely in a black t-shirt, manning guitar, lead vocals, and sexual assault, as he put down his guitar several times to attempt to dance sexually with the obviously uncomfortable girl. He even kissed her at one point. It obviously was not that uncomfortable for her, though, as she stayed up on stage the whole show. He also threw merchandise (which wasn't theirs) into the audience and drank other people's beer and hugged people. Punk, right? Enter Gahd Cop, the ridiculously named drummer who could not keep from absolutely smashing his drums. His snare almost fell over. Then a screaming, jumping thirty something in a two-sizes-too-big Killer Clowns From Outer Space T-Shirt, turned down very low in the mix. In their introductions, which were hard to make out because Scotty boy, Deity Law Enforcement Officer, and B-horror temper tantrum toddler were all talking over each other the entire time, I believe I heard the lattermost called a priest for a Church of Religious Consciousness. Then there was the jaded Sunglasses-clad bass player to whom Mr. Panther was teaching the songs on stage, during the show. And finally, there was an inaudible middle-aged Japanese saxophonist in a catstronaut shirt. All their songs were about lovin' and acid, except for one song about death and peanut butter. It was terrible, but terribly entertaining. ------------- https://dreamwindow.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My Music

To a large extent because they are/were major heroes of mine in the wider world of music .... Van Morrison, Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson. VM was the worst cos we had seats three rows from the front. He was late, drunk and quite obviously completely uninterested in the proceedings. ELH cos a friend of hers had recently died and in an otherwise uninspiring performance she kept inserting effing Jesus songs into the set as a nod to her late friend. Willie was simply going through the motions and gave the impression he simply couldn't care less. ------------- Andrew B “Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

Bob Dylan/Tom Petty/Grateful Dead, JFK Stadium, July '86....Dylan croaked thru a few numbers - he seemed pissed off about having to play at 4pm on a 104 degree day - he kept popping into this tent set up behind his mic to smoke cigarettes. Then Tom Petty came strutting out in skinny jeans and a top hat and proceeded to bore us all silly. Then - heartbreakingly - the Dead just couldn't get it up.....Jerry seemed sick, almost lifeless, and the band always looked to him for inspiration and direction and there was nothing coming from him that day. Brutal heat, horrible booming and distorted sound, a hundred thousand people and 120 degrees down on the field....a bunch of us left early to get to the next town on the tour giving the show up as a rough day at a sh*tty venue. Thing is, the band never showed up the next day - Jerry's body gave out - he went into a coma after the show, nearly died - and the rest of the tour was cancelled. Total bring-down, man....the whole scene harshed my mellow. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

I cannot remember ever having seen a really bad concert. I remember a Yes concert, a Pink Floyd and a Jethro Tull concert where the magic had a bit gone. I remember support acts that were boring. They were often boring. They are supposed to be boring, in a way. But that doesn't count. I guess I was lucky.
