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.

in December 1975 I saw the Who at the Pontiac Silverdome and the opening band was the Reggae band Toots and the Maytals.

There were 76,000 there and several people threw dozens of bottles at the bandmembers until they left the stage.

Pete Townsend even asked them to quit throwing bottles but they did not listen.

Afterwards the Who played the best concert I ever saw.

"but I'd still rather sit thru many of the disasters described above than sit thru Yoko in top form."

I ask WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!

"funny how Perry can't remember squat"

it was so obvious he did not know what he was saying - sad
