Worst Concert Experience

Ah here, that's not true... been at many rock concerts where the sound was exceptional and people can still ruin the bloody thing by chattering beside you and so during an acoustic set it can only be even more of a disturbance. I felt like ending the life of a couple of morons who were jabbering away in the RDS during Springsteen's Racing In The Street. For years it was the song I wanted to hear him perform only for it never to make the setlist. Thankfully some biker in front of us turned around and told them to shut their traps and I could at least enjoy the last half of the song.
Housemartins in the SFX back in '88 or so was the most violent gig I was ever at. I was quite young and was quite shocking to see so much blood. Would still be quite shocking I suppose. People say society is more violent today but I think gigs were much more violent back then. Or maybe it was just venues like the SFX and the Olympic Ballroom which attracted those crowds.
The Quireboys didn't turn up for one gig back in 1990. Back in those days there was no way of letting people know either and so if a gig was cancelled on the day, and they weren't a huge act, you generally found out when you got there. Had a massive impact on my life as a life changing event happened me later that night on the way home. The butterfly effect at work right there.
Yeah, the Bob Dylan a couple of years back was deplorable.
Was at Billy Joel a few years back and a few arsetits thought it would be a good idea to start videocalling someone in the balcony during Piano Man, and then start jumping up and down when the person in the balcony couldn't pick them out. A few selfies later and they were approached by O2 staff and told to stfu or they would be asked to leave.
Guns n Roses Ax Rose was pretty bad at the O2. After being convinced to come back out, he pretty much just sat beside the drumkit and went through the motions. Total moron but sure we all knew that going in.0 -

Not a worst performance but about audience etiquette. Bat For Lashes at Electric Picnic 2012, Natasha was playing new material, when she done Laura you could hardly hear it for half the Electric Arena audience yabbering away, it totally destroyed the quieter songs of the gig, especially the track Siren Song.
On Bob Dylan, I saw him at Fleadh Mor festival in Waterford in 1993, his voice was still fcuked back then but slightly better, the annoying thing being that he was playing all his hits as a melody piece, one verse of Tambourine Man and maybe one verse of Hurricane and the like so quickly lost interest, didn't go to the gig to hear a sampler of his hits and there was no faulting his band who were pretty tight.
Homer, its alright some of us have had sh1t Picnics too, not me mind, but folk I know who were just not in the frame of mind to go in a blow out for three days and like you say yourself, you had a sh1t week leading up to it. I went with a friend from Galway to the 2009 Picnic, on the day preparing for the journey to Stradbally, my mate received an eviction notice to vacate his flat, what a way to start festivities for the weekend.If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it.
