Whats the worst gig you've seen?

The year is 1976, the venue is Bingley Hall Stafford which is a cow shed and the band are The Rolling Stones. I'd been waiting ages for this gig and I'd even been offered £100 for my ticket. There were banners all around saying "The Greatest Rock And Roll Band In The World" and I couldn't wait.
We entered the cow shed with the sound of soul music blasting in our ears. The support act came on which were an all black soul band which I think were called the Trammps but I could be way off. The thing is we had another hour of soul music.
The interval music was all soul music
The Stones then hit the stage with I think Jumping Jack Flash and I was rockin'. They then went into all their slow soul type stuff for about 30 minutes and then the stage was given to Billy Preston for 10 minutes. They continued until the hour was nearly up with slow soulful stuff and then ended with (I think) Brown Sugar. There was no encore and we left to the sounds of soul music once again. A total of two rock n roll songs all night on a bill that was supposed to be dedicated to "The Greatest Rock And Roll Band In The World".
To say I was upset was an understatement and to think I could have sold my ticket for £100.

(just like to say I grew up on soul music but I didn't expect it on this night)

Whats your worst gig?

Worlds worst Elvis Impersonator

He's got all the time he needs in a studio and he still records out of time/out of tune notes. Little Sister is painful.
That is so poor I've sent it my Dad to laugh at because he recorded Gordon Hendricks (who now can't get gigs because he's upset everybody).
However, I love how his website has been done.

Pink Floyd on the Animals tour. I was given a free ticket and gobsmacked at the amount of people who didn't seem to listen to the music but watched the lights and flying pigs. When we came out people didn't talk about the music but all the effects and lights. Mind you it was a great cure for insomnia.

I assume you went Bingley Hall, so we were in the same cowshed.
I came away thinking exactly the same thing but they were better than The Rolling Stones.

Just found this - it wasn't the Animals tour but they did play nearly all Animals.

I bought Robbie Williams tickets for my fiancee - so we'll be seeing him later this year from the Golden Circle at MK Bowl.

Now I'm not expecting that to be the greatest concert I've ever been to, however only because I'm not too keen on his work.
From what I have seen of him he is good in concert so as "a concert" I expect it to be very good.
It can only be a "worst gig" contender to me as it is not somebody I'd naturally choose to go and see.

I reckon after you've seen him live you'll be posting in this thread -
