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?

Tony Braxton,  2019 at the Fabulous Fox Theater. My cousin surprised us with Dinner and a show. It was a real surprise.  You couldn't pay me to see her,  but I didn't want to hurt my cousin and his wife's feelings,  so we went. It lived up to everything I thought.  She talked most of the show and when she did try to put a few notes together, it was inaudible.  She tried to get the crowds sympathy talking about her Lupus.....
It was a very sad show. Even though I didn't pay for the tickets,  I wanted a REFUND!!!!!!
