Live Performances Gone Awry

I couldn't help but think about the time I saw Steven Tyler stagger across the stage and pass out back in the early 80's, and how Stevie Nicks cancelled a concert at the New York State Fair around 1987-88 because she had such a bad cocaine problem. The Stevie Nick's show really upset me because she didn't reschedule and they didn't announce it until two hours before the show.

Anyone one else have any poor experiences at a live show they'd like to share? Grateful Dead welcome but please no stories of fans.

Marty...

"but I'd still rather sit thru many of the disasters described above than sit thru Yoko in top form."

I ask WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!

Saw Sly and the Family Stone at the Electric Circus in 1968 - well, actually I didn't. They didn't show.

Saw the replacements at wash univ in St.Louis about 1988. They played in the school gym. Wasn't very familiar with them but had heard some good things. They all seemed pretty messed up during the show. Frequent rantings of f-school this and f-school that. Paul Westerberg didn't seem to be a fan of higher education.

Saw the who at the tangerine bowl in orlando, thanksgiving weekend 1982. The b-52s opened. That didn't go over well.

I went to see the Chambers Brothers in Boston sometime in the late 60's and only a couple of the "original" band members showed. I have seen a lot of concerts and this one rates at the top of the uninspired list.
