Live Performances Gone Awry

I couldn't help but think about the time I saw Steven Tyler stagger across the stage and pass out back in the early 80's, and how Stevie Nicks cancelled a concert at the New York State Fair around 1987-88 because she had such a bad cocaine problem. The Stevie Nick's show really upset me because she didn't reschedule and they didn't announce it until two hours before the show.

Anyone one else have any poor experiences at a live show they'd like to share? Grateful Dead welcome but please no stories of fans.

Anyone ever see a GWAR show? They are always terrible, well both I saw were. Just plain bad sound, custumes (at the time) seemed to hamper playing ability but it was a freak show when I was in my late teens early twenties.

The Conductor of the Youngstown Symphony (we have season tics) told a story till kill time when a violin soloist broke a string. He said it was an Opera I cant recall but a performer is to be shot during anothers singing about events in the Opera, well he said the actor pointed the gun at wrong performer so the cast carried off the soloist while singing instead of the person who was supposed to be removed from stage.
It was a month or so ago I heard him tell that so hopefully I didnt confuse facts but it was a funny story during a uncomfortable mishap delay.
