Whats the weirdest concert you ever attended?


I have to say this is only bought up by one particular concert I attended in 1970 in Birmingham England.
I went to see a German band called Faust. They had a bit of a reputation for being more weird than most, and that's saying something given other bands around at the time and had an underground following along with Henry Pig and Hatfield and the North.
So.... I was in row two and eagerly waiting for the show to start. The auditorium was completely dark except for the lights on the amps. At each side of the stage there was a big old 36" colour TV set and a pinball machine.

In due course, everyone assumed that the band came on stage as the light on the amps went off in sequence as if someone was walking past them. Then, eventually, odd sounds started emanating from where we assumed the band was. Still no lights. Then the TV's burst into life and were showing a different channel on either side of the stage. Still no sign of the band.
Next a guy walks on stage in just his underpants (1970's Y fronts)and starts playing the pinball machine. Every time he used the flipper the TV channel changed.

This was how the whole one and a half hours were spent until the guy on the pinball either got bored or the band got bored but he just walked off, the music stopped and the lights on the amps flickered again so we assumed that the band had left the stage.

During the course of the "concert", there was all sorts of aromas of illicit substances. To put the icing on the cake, about half way through, a woman in the front row turned round to me and said "would you hold this for me" offering a newly lighted special cigarette. After passing it to me she proceeded to turn back to the front, lean on the stage, have very quick very rough sex doggy fashion with someone I can only assume was her partner and then ask me for her joint back!

My head was really messed up for weeks and I'm still not sure if it was the concert or the side show which was to blame.

After several years from my last post here, I've been in Nationwide Arena and seen Roger Waters...

I realized that Roger Waters urgently needs help of professional, because he became more mis-aligned than Syd.

I attended a Smith and Myers concert last fall in Norfolk Va. I went to the show expecting to hear their 2 volumes of acoustic music. The first two songs Myers guitar was out of tune. I play so I know what right sounds like on an amplified acoustic guitar. After about the fourth song Smith left the stage and never returned. If they were I’ll fine man up and refund our money. They sucked. Myers just played a bunch of garbage band music. It was very unprofessional. 

Uhm…that must be Flamenco trash by Nestter Donuts.

there were children in the audience. Otherwise I’m sure he would have gone totally naked.

Still a lot of fun.

Electrical tape covering her nipples and shaving cream covering her crotch. She had a marvelous stage presence. She used a chainsaw and cut off the head of Boy George (Doppelganger) dummy !

My ears rang for 3 days.
