worst concert you have ever seen or the most disappointing? i havent been to many concerts that i felt let down or just very poor for whatever reason but the worst concert i have seen so far has been BECK at the GLASGOW CARLING ACADEMY this year....it was very poor for a number of reasons....the sound was terrible until the last 3 songs....the gig lasted only 1 hour twenty minutes which left me feeling ripped off, he finished with an obscure song and the lights went up before he even left the stage and beck's attitude to the gig didnt seem right...looked like he was going through the motions.
.....i was a big beck fan before this gig but he has lost a bit of his standing in my eyes after that poor performance.... ... ...the worst prince gig i ever saw was at in st pauls ice hockey arena(cant remember the name of it) in 2001....it was still a good gig but the sound was crap(i was in the nosebleed seats) so there you go...what about you?

Decided to be fashionably late at a Solomon Burke gig on a mondaynight - we were rather hungry,
so we ate first - only to find him starting exactly on time. This punctuality had left us with five minutes of the encore. Surely, we could have showed up a little earlier, but we felt we were deprived of rock & roll. Oh well, I've seen some Burke concert-footage afterwards, and it seems we did not miss much. Quite a Vegas-act, despite that the album he was promoting was promising in regards to the live-setting.  | |

Fischerspooner. It was wrong on so many levels. I've been told that it's supposed to be on purpose, but I'm not buying it. The lead singer guy was trashed, he was pissing off the audience, and let's face it - he was a fat guy in a g-string trying to act like Peaches. It didn't work. Plus...LIP SYNCHING.  | |

Happy Mondays at First Avenue back in the day. (Pills Thrills n Bellyaches tour)
It was a NIGHTMARE. Shaun was pissed as always and could barely stand up. The band barely hit the 45 minute mark before leaving the stage. The crowd was unruly and rightfully unhappy. It was a TRAINWRECK. 
I'm so happy I actually got to experience that! | |

Alexander O'Neil in Stockholm in 1991 I think.
He was stoned out of his mind,fell asleep on stage & before his manager had 2 walk him offstage while people were booing. I saw him after that tho & that was completely different. /peace Manki | |

Since no one tours western Canada, I've only seen a handful of shows.
I think the worst concert experience is hearing about a concert being cancelled THE DAY OF THE CONCERT AS WE WERE DRIVING TO THE CITY. This was Puff Daddy's tour in 1997, with guests Jay-Z, Foxy Brown, 112, Faith Evans, Mase, etc etc. This is the tour where Kid Capri was DJing too, and Jay-Z heard 45 King's Annie beat that would later become "Hard Knock Life". I really really really wanted to see Jay-Z and Foxy do "Sunshine" that day, and I can't even remember why the shit got cancelled. Other cancelled shows: -Wu Tang Clan (1996) -Janet Jackson (2001) | |

I'ld get shot. Ooh, and that band that had this ONE hit out of the UK, Brimful Of Asha. I forgot their name. Their music was already really trippy, but when in Amsterdam (read; freely avaiable pot) these Brits could not hold themselves back and splashed themselves with it. Result; one of the most vague, bulshitty concerts I have ever seen. Bad sound, musicians losing the thread of their own songs, forgetting they were supposed to sing etc. | |

Dolly Parton last year was a bit of a disappointment. I knew going in to it that she'd be lip synching, and I was okay with that. But for somebody who's been in the business for 40 years and written literally thousands of songs, it was a short show - about 90 minutes. Her voice was great, but the show itself wasn't what it could have been. | |

It was the first concert i tracked online. when she played Kansas City she cut out several songs. Alright, Black Cat and What About where cut. than months later they were added again for the NY broadcast i felt really cheated.

actually there''s 2:
first off there's the Prince concerts of 1998, they were really disappointing, lots of Larry Graham, lots of medleys! and second Last monday I went 2 see Brian Wilson for the 2nd time (my 1st was the Smile tour which really was impressive) but last monday was a greatest hits show and he only played for 1 1/2 hours!! for 60 euros! that was disappointing. The concert was really heating up and the rock was really rolling when all of a sudden it was over!@! "Time is a train, makes the future the past" | |

That's Cornershop. They are probably my 2nd and 3rd worst shows. It's such a shame too as I LOVE their CDs, but they just have absolutely zero skills as a live band. The last time I saw them, we ended up leavin the show early to go to a party. Not a special party or anything. We just finally decided that ANYTHING would be better than the show was... | |

I saw Beck a few nights ago... thought the show was great. He had a one man band open for him, which was hilarious...
but um...in response to the question... I guess P.O.D. but i didn't really want to be there anyway... | |

how can you tell when a lip-syncher has a bad voice? you look better on your facebook page than you do in person | |

how can you tell when a lip-syncher has a bad voice?
I was at the show as well, so I can field this question. She only used back tracks for portions of the show. One thing I did appreciate was she clearly identified when she was using pre-recorded vocals with some silly joke or another. A particualr highlight was her acapella rendition of Little Sparrow. Gorgeous and sung live. This show was a bit of a disappointment to me as well. I'd love to be able to catch Dolly on a more intimate tour now. That'd be the shit  | |
