Creed, sounded like crap! Too loud and distorted.0

Hands down, Bob Dylan...I walked out both times
Saw Dylan in the mid-80's in Philadelphia. I really only went to see the opening band - The Alarm. Fell asleep during Dylan. ZZZZZzzzzz.....0 -

My husband and I were engaged and he was moving from Columbus to Cincinnati. Since I was off work and up there helping him, he decided we needed a break and bought Vampire Weekend tickets for us. We were both tired and stressed about loading the truck the next morning, but I appreciated the tickets so much and we went.
The concert was short, but even shorter for us because some of the other people in attendance were unbelievable jerkfacey.
From some folks dumping "mystery liquids" from the balcony above, to the chick in front of me whipping her long hair around (there was no where for the rest of us to move to it was so packed) and thrashing around (did I mention this was Vampire Weekend? Who thrashes to that?!) it super sucked and we left.
So, either the concert sucked, or I'm too old for Vampire Weekend. Or both.0 -
Janet Jackson
She lip-synched the entire show0 -
Turn Me Loose, Lovin' Every Minute of It, Kid is Hot Tonight, Queen of the Broken Heart. Really, none? If you've ever listened to a classic rock station, something has played for sure.
Um, I am actually really into Loverboy. They're Canadian and some of their songs are epic and nostalgic for us Canadians. Ouch :brokenheart: *crickets*Seeing the "best concert" thread, it seems only fitting that we have a worst one too.
For Me:
January 19th, 1986. Loverboy w/ The Hooters. First off, I wasn't (still aren't) a fan of either band, I went because the girl I was trying to have 'relations' with was into them. Second, it was a Sunday night on a weekend that I had Army National Guard drill, and I was working on less than 4 hours of sleep....actually fell asleep in the stands. Third, and final strike, I didn't get laid.
Wow, who is "into" Loverboy? They only had like one good song. That's funny...(said the gal who likes Survivor and Foreigner...haha)
Sorry, I love Canadians. I take it back. I love "Working for the weekend," but I have to admit, I've never heard anything else, that I know of. Peace, eh? :flowerforyou:0 -

The Beatles...Yankee Stadium0

LOVE APRIL WINE! My parents saw them last summer.Drivin and Cryin.
They were playing a festival we were at, and they sounded good on the radio, so we stayed to see them. Big mistake, they were awful.
Aledba - are you a fan of April Wine?0 -
Guns 'N Roses back in 92 or 93 at the LA Forum. Skid Row opened and played a great set. Then we sat and waited for over 2 hours for Guns to finally take the stage. When they finally decided to play, they played slow and draggy and seemed to have this attitude of f*** you if you don't like it. We didn't even stay for the whole show. What made it more disappointing was Guns played really well when we saw them open for the Rolling Stones. The Stones show made us think that Guns would really want to put on a good show as a headliner. They just didn't seem to care. I saw Velvet Revolver twice and both shows were great and they started on time. I'm amazed that people will still pay to see Axel Rose and friends (I refuse to call his band Guns 'N Roses).0

Some festival around here long ago called X-fest. It poured rain the whole time. I was in middle school so far too young to drink. Lots of creepy rocker dudes hitting on all the underage girls. Lot of the groups canceled playing that day so awkward long hour breaks. Only good part of the day was meeting Eve 6 and getting their signatures on a t-shirt *BUT since it was raining it washed off* lol. Total bust.
Oh yeah and got dragged to a LFO concert. That was god awful.0 -
Mine was Phish (Black Sabbath close second)....please make it stop. Not a fan so that probably didnt help.0

Not trying to brag.... but Brian (the guitarist) is my uncle. They aren't my normal musical taste, but through the years they have really grown on me and have good stuff.0 -
Metallica in the early 2000's. I'm so glad I didn't pay for that myself.0
-
Black label Society opened for Judas Priest and they were the worst. The music was so loud, I could not make out any voices, guitar riffs, or solos; my ears were still ringing into 15 minutes into JP's set. JP definitely made up for them that night.0

Bob Dylan! A couple years ago. He was growly terrible. He followed Willie Nelson who I have seen numerous times and was awesome but now he can't seem to remember all the words to any one song and drifts between them.0

Brian is amazing! You are related to him? That's awesome. Their sound is so nostalgic and haunting to me. It makes me feel like a teen in the 80s walking along Lake Ontario on a quiet, cool morning. I was never a teen in the 80s so it's weird but it works. LOL

I saw Vampire Weekend twice last year and they were amazing both shows. Sounds like you just had a bad crowd? You're definitely not too old for them.
My worst was Boston about 3 or 4 summers ago. They had their new lead singer, who sounds great but he had absolutely no idea what he was doing up there and it showed. They also still seem to think it's 1978 and that it's okay to have a 6 minute organ solo while the rest of the band goes backstage and does who knows what. My husband and I looked at each other about 5 minutes into that and both asked if the other was ready to leave at nearly the same time. We got up and walked out. They are here again on the 23rd of this month and I was offered free tickets. I think I'll pass.0 -
It was sometime in the 70's (the 70's are a hazy memory for me) and a girlfriend set me up on a blind date and the whole group of us went to see Supertramp. Although I was a big concert goer in the 70's and really into music and saw all the big names of the day (Bowie, Alice Cooper etc) I wanted to rip my ears off. Supertramp...just..no...no.
(Never saw Supertramp or the blind date again either.)0 -

He and my aunt have since split and moved on, but he is still family in my eyes.0 -
Yeasayer. Amazing music recorded. The show was awful. The band didn't sound great and they then proceeded to play the entirety of an album they hadn't released but was coming up soon. I've seen a couple bands I'd never heard before seeing them and loved it, but this time it didn't work out. And there's a certain amazing feeling that comes along with being able to sing every lyric to a song in a crowd of people with the band playing live that I felt I missed out on.
Close second: Portugal. The Man. I went to see their show alone and I'd heard a number of their more pop-sounding songs that I really liked. But they played a lot more of their trippy stuff and I looked around me and realized that everyone around me was either tripping or rolling their face off. I must have been the only sober person there. And then I got really overwhelmed by rude pushy high people and left. It was a bad concert experience but not because of the band.
I've seen a lot of shows and it's surprising that there are only 2 I could think of.0 -
Five Finger Death Punch... those guys suck sooo much!!
This makes me sad. I love their music but have never had a chance to see them live.0 -
Tori Amos. Which stinks because I love love love love her
but yeah I didn't care for the album she was touring for. And as much as she sings from other albums this time she did not.

The Donnas at X-Fest at the [then] Starlake Amphitheater in Burgettstown, PA, in 2002. Thankfully it was a festival and the other bands more than made up for them.0

I once saw a band called "Seven Year B*tch."
That pretty much speaks for itself.0 -
I went to Ozzfest 2005 and the headliners were Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. On that night I was treated to both the best and worst live performances I'd ever seen. Best = Iron Maiden, BY FAR. Now here's the bad part...
Ozzy had apparently fallen very very ill with some sort of flu but decided to go ahead with the show just the same. I kind of admire that he did, but as sick as he was, trying to go up there and sing and put on a show only disappointed/pissed off the entire crowd. Practically everyone out on the lawn left halfway through the Sabbath set. News was Ozzy was unable to perform for about 2 weeks after that and they made it up to people who went by having Maiden double up on their time slot.0 -
Sorry they've all been great so far...even the Jimmy Buffet concert where it was pouring rain and lighting knocked out the generator...Jimmy got another one from a local farmer and got the show going again! That told me a lot about him!0
-
Queens of the Stone Age last year. I will clarify that I'm not a big fan anyway, but I really didn't enjoy the show. They looked totally wooden on stage, they didn't engage at all with the crowd, and they didn't even play half of their hits (in other words, any of the songs I actually might have enjoyed hearing).0

Awwww sorry I love Tori too, what a bummer!!0
