Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??


I just left a remark about a favorite band of mine back in the day - April Wine - that I saw in concert and was disappointed. Could have been that it was an off night for them, or maybe they were never good in concert. Maybe the lead guitarist had too much to drink? April Wine was not the worst, however. I remember Neil Young in the 1990's who was on his one-man acoustic show type of tour that many artists were taking advantage of (perhaps for financial reasons) during that time. While a friend of I had near front row seats at Desert Sky Pavilion (now Ak-Chin) in Pheonix, the crowd was just roused up into a frenzy by the warm-up band (James) and here comes Neil and his guitar/harmonica. Wow, what a sonic letdown. I remember getting up and leaving and feeling Neil's glaring eyes on us as we ushered out. I think, to this day, he probably still remembers me. We all can remember the great live concerts we attended, but what were the worst and why?

I still turn off Journey, maybe one song from the studio version.. Unless it is a GREAT, I mean super duper, I paid attention to the sound guy, I prefer studio recordings. 

I loved coral music back then to (still do), pans, xylophones, congas, keyboards.The song "Ice cream" Big smile on my face :-)

The greats give a good show NO MATER.. Carlos Santana, in 35 year of his concerts, never heard a bad one.. Prince the same way (RIP).
I loved James Brown, talk about TIGHT... The original James Brown..

The rockers of the 6-80s, ya never new.. Country Western, Same way..
crazy bunch.. Strange on the "Tugent" comment too. He use to keep it pretty much together too. 3 or 4 times I saw him. For a Rocker for sure..
U2 did too..

LOL "The Tubes"

Regards
Leon russell - just horrible, sound, songs, 


met allica - as always, out of sync, poor sound, many live shows since 1985, all have been pretty bad.
on. Good note, the opening bands were better!

Three tn come to mind. Jerry Jeff Walker and Joe Cocker both too drunk to perform. George Jones too sick to perform. Left the stage to go to the  bathroom sinus issues. Left couple of more times.didnt even try. I forgave him for being Ill but not for even trying. Had a clock offstage second it hit nine thirty he was gone.
The worst act was 38 Special at the Super Bowl of Rock 3 July 1977. Journey was weak also.
