What is the worst concert you've ever been to?

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.

That is sad, I saw her a few times in the early 90's and she was awesome, and sexy (and I am straight). I got to meet her as well after a show she was so nice.0 -
The Cure, Red Rocks Ampitheatre, summer 1987. What a great venue, and one of my favorite bands back then. Show was the. worst. ever. They played like there were 1000 places they would rather have been at the time.
Second worst: Alabama, Fiddler's Green Ampitheatre, Denver. 1988? 1989? My dad and family friends had free tickets and got me to come. What I knew of Alabama were their big country crossover hits--what most people probably came to the show to hear-- and they collapsed all of them into one 10-minute medley. Bizarre.0 -
Bob Dylan during a heroine phase. 20 mins to tune his guitar between EVERY song, then more offkey than usual. WTF was I thinking?!0

I haven't been to a concert that was ALL bad...I saw Guns N Roses when I was a freshman in high school and they were GREAT but Brian May (formerly of Queen) opened for them and he was SO, SO BAD!!!
On another note, I see lots of you hatin' on Nickelback and I have to say I disagree...the poppy-type Nickelback songs that end up on the radio DO SUCK, but if you listen to the other stuff on their albums, it's HEAVY and FANTASTIC!!
I've seen them twice live and will keep on going to see them as many times as they make it up to New England!
Don't be hatin' on me now!! :bigsmile:0 -
Zack Brown Band, it was torture!!! I was only there because BB King was playing after....0

There was that band at that bar a few weeks ago with that guy who was sooooo god awful. Yea. That one. You remember.0

Obscure keyboard player and drummer named Jan Hammer.
He is a giant in Jazz Rock Fusion, and came to campus in 1977. He had a new band and they played all this new fizzy pop rock material designed for radio airplay. I walked halfway through.0 -
Robert Plant manic nirvana tour. I was a huge fan before the concert and after I thought he sucked.0
-
Dave Matthews Band - less to do with the show and more to do with baby-sitting an annoying drunk girl.0
-
Worst for me was....Willie Nelson.
Don't get me wrong, I like some country music, just not Willie.
It is just not my speed. I walked out.
I've been to plenty of other country shows and I have many country music favorites as well.
I grew up on Classic Rock and mid 70s sounds. My Dad worked for Shure so I always had the latest
releases before they were in the stores. The big stars always visited Shure when in Chicago to pick up their gold microphones...including MIck Jagger. My Dad didn't know who he was!0 -
It wasn't really a bad concert but Van Halen. David Lee Roth was just drunk off his *kitten*. Even Eddie sounded better singing lol0
-
Jonathan Davis - OzzyFest 2008, absolutely awful0
-
Midish 80s - The Cars. I liked their music (for "fun" pop stuff), but the concert was HORRIBLE. I'm pretty sure it might have been robotic manikins with a sound track playing behind them. Seriously, I don't think anyone on the stage said a single word ... just sang one tune after another, barely moving the whole time, and walked off the stage at the end. I would have asked for my money back, but I didn't pay fortunately.0

Hands down, Bob Dylan...I walked out both times
I waited an hour for him at Bonnaroo 10 years ago before I just started boo'ing. When he finally came on stage, it was well below expectation. I walked off.0 -
Barry Freaking Manilow at The Greek Theater TWICE!
When I was in college (In the mid 80s) I worked for Chrysler's marketing company. They promoted the Chrysler Concert Series at The Greek. My job was to go to a nearby dealer, Pick up a couple of cars. Drive to The Greek and get there a couple of hours before the show. Park the cars on the grass near the entrance. If tickets were available, they'd give us whatever was available. If it was sold out, we'd get passes to get in but no seats. After the concert ended, we'd wait about an hour or so until the parking lot was pretty empty then return the cars to the dealership. A pretty sweet gig for a college kid.
Saw a of really great bands but I also saw a few that sucked. Barry Manilow just was just agonizing. Hate his music. Believe me, i wouldn't have stayed if I wasn't being paid. And of course, he played back to back night so I had to go twice.0 -
Whitney Houston was my worst concert experience. I could not wait to leave!0

Let me preface this by saying it will hurt me to type this.......Jack Johnson......I am a HUGE jack johnson fan......Have everything he has put out.......Got 5th row tickets to see him and was let down. It was fine....but not amazing. There was really no energy and I think the venue was way too big for him. If it had been something like a coffee shop/small venue it probably would have been very different but as it was it was just a let down. Would have rather watched one of the concert DVDs from my couch.....0

Been to a Jessica Simpson concerts it was free.. lip sync haha0

My old company decided we were going to rent a booth at a 98 Degrees concert for promotional reasons. I had to work the booth for about 6 hours and it was mid August and outdoors, and it was dreadful.0

Sounds like the thread winner here. That had to be unbearable.0 -
Two come to mind...
1) Senses Fail. They insulted not only my city but the venue as well (which was like a second home to many of us in the audience). Then they show up at our party with a bunch of underage girls, tell us our party sucks and they are taking their chicks back to the hotel. Ummm, ok?
2) Reel Big Fish the second time I saw them. They were all completely smashed. One of them could barely stand. They only played cover songs, not very well, and didn't really finish most of the songs.0 -
tragically hip and sam roberts, both good bands but could not see the concerts because everyone was standing it was very bad0

Rock the Bells - toronto 2008
What should have been amazing (getting to see some of my fav acts for the first time - Nas, Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde, Rakim, De La Soul) was ruined by a HORRIBLE venue. An old airport hangar. One giant concrete floor, hot as balls, terrible sound and uncomfortable.
To top it off my brother was kicked out about 5 minutes in after he accepted a joint passed to him. Now we all know that is illegal - but I dunno how many concerts y'all have been too - but I dunno if I have ever seen them actively throwing people out for that before. He snuck back in using ninja skills (changed his shirt).
To top it off Jay electronica (who my friends had never heard of but I hyped up) did this thing where he would rap his verse over the music and then be like "Wait, did yall actually hear what I am saying?" and then stop the music and recite his lyrics (just speaking them) as if what he was saying was so mind blowing we just had to hear it delivered like that. Every. Single. Verse.
Last "big" concert I will probably ever go to. I'll stick to smaller club shows from now on.0 -
Bob Dylan during a heroine phase. 20 mins to tune his guitar between EVERY song, then more offkey than usual. WTF was I thinking?!
That and after nearly every song ... "Thank you! Good Night!" and walking off only to be turned around by a roadie and pointed to the microphone for another song ...0 -
Tesla / Poison
ive seen Tesla a few times. Maybe some of the best concerts ive ever been too.
Poison sucks.
I have to agree. Tesla is awesome in concert!! Seen them a few times and they rock every time. Now Poisen, yes they suck!!! Ive seen them a few times as well and they sucked worse every time!!! lol0 -

This is very similar to how I felt about The Cure. They are one of my favorite bands, have been since I was 12-13 and finally seeing them live in 2000 following my college graduation was like a dream come true for me. But it was a HUGE arena with less than stellar sound system and I could barely see the band, as much as I wanted to love the show - and I did get chills from a few longtime favorite songs - it was less enjoyable than I ever imagined.0 -
ZZ Top, 38 Special and Little Feat..
First of all who the hell is Little feat? LOL They were so bad, that had it not been for the fact I love love love 38 Special, I would have left. ZZ Top was ok too.0 -
Dave Matthews Band - less to do with the show and more to do with baby-sitting an annoying drunk girl.
Mmm, Dave Matthews Band, but because of the show. I was so bored, I fell asleep!0 -
The Cars were one of my favorite bands in the late 70s and 80s. Because I had heard this about them I never saw them in concert even when I had the chance. They didn't enjoy touring and it was really evident, apparently.Midish 80s - The Cars. I liked their music (for "fun" pop stuff), but the concert was HORRIBLE. I'm pretty sure it might have been robotic manikins with a sound track playing behind them. Seriously, I don't think anyone on the stage said a single word ... just sang one tune after another, barely moving the whole time, and walked off the stage at the end.

lauren hill, 2011 brooklyn. i was one of the many people who walked out. she was super late, the tix were kind of expensive it was a small venue so the audience was pretty much comprised of really big fans. she basically got entitled and told us we had no right to expect things from her (like being on time, not acting like a jerk, etc) and to be happy she even showed up because SHE was lauren hill :huh:
there were many of us quoting her "You might win some but you just lost one" line0
