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?

jimi hendrix 1968.  swichted from marshall to sun amps complete with 60 herz hum nobody could fix.  played 20 minutes before he stabbed hi guitar thru the amps and walked off.  the other bands, however, were great.  soft machine was terrific.

Robin Trower love his music but the guy just can't put a show on.  He just sat on the stage and played guitar no movement whatsoever.  I was better off at home listening to albums.
Next worst was J Geils Band they had hardware issues that show and everyone got up and walked out.
A few years back Dokken at Hard Rock--bad bad bad-- Sweet opened and blew them away-

Well I’ve seen some dogs in nearly 50 years of concertgoing, but one of the worst was Andy Summers (of the Police). Although the audience was very respectful and there to see him do his solo stuff (no one was yelling out requests for Police stuff, talking over his performance, etc), he insulted the audience throughout, and was basically obnoxious from beginning to end.
