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?

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!

Worked at the Tinley park world theatre first year it opened.
   Grateful Dead was ok.
my friend and I bought some pb&j sandwiches from those damn hippies, little did we know, they were not normal sandwiches.  
 We put o n our African shirts with the V neck design, used our badges to get into show.
 Had a blast, not including the cruddy surprise from those darn sandwiches.  Went to his house, watched “best of the best” blitzed on whatever was in those sandwiches. Drove back , put work shirts on, and punched out after traffic left, we did this for almost every good rock show the opening season. 
 Had a blast and made a 30 year friend to boot!
      Show was good, I was used to the music being a fan of the band.
   The Dead were a good live jam band.

  Cheers
