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?

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.
George Harrison, Dark Horse tour. He had laryngitis. Should have cancelled the concert. Ravi Shakar played a45 minute song and no one wanted to hear him. Painful.
Keith Jarret's solo concert in Budapest, 2016. After the MC strongly requested us not even to think about taking a breath, let alone cough, during the performance, he acted like God himself on stage. Dazed into his extraterrestrial, untouchable self importance, disconnected from the audience made up of simple mortals....  And the music was an uninspiring display of pointless finger exercise. Very disappointing.
