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?

 Just a decade and a half correction, the date for B B King should have read 11/30/2013!
Living Colour in Santa Ana at the Galaxy Theatre. Wanted to see them for years, finally got t a show and all Vernon could do was turn up the volume to ear-piercing levels and look and laugh at the audience. Just downright disappointing.
Gordon Lightfoot at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia in the early 1980’s: He was stinkin’ drunk and slurring his words while  he sang. Very disappointing! 🤬
dwmaggie -- did I mention on this website that Steppenwolf played at my high school?  University High in West L.A. They were good. They didn't do The Pusher, probably at the instructions of the Principal.
"I saw the CSNY concert at the Hollywood Bowl that Joni Mitchell opened and that started Joni's and Graham's long-running romance?"

They began their relationship in 1968 and it ended in 1970 around the time Deja Vu came out so in the interest of accuracy, there was no CSNY in 1968...
