Mine was Funkadelic and George Clinton.
I love George but I could not tell who the hell was on stage and the sound was pretty bad. Looked like 40 people just having a private party on stage.

Worst concert ever? That's easy. I saw Pat Benatar in 1988...she just phoned the whole thing in and pretty much ignored the audience. I saw her again, two years ago, when she toured with Blondie and The Donnas. Twenty years later, she seemed a lot more humble and interacted with the audience quite a bit that night.
Another really bad show was Def Leppard at 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore, MD. Don't get me wrong, Def Leppard were playing their hearts out...but the acoustics in that arena were awful. Everything sounded like it was being played through a high school gymnasium's loudspeaker. Just awful.

That really surprises me about Benatar 😲
She has several songs that I really like and her voice is extremely powerful. And I always thought that the guitar work in her songs was underrated.
She gave me he impression, though obviously I was wrong, that she really cared about people and didn't think that the universe rotated around her.
IMO NOBODY can hold a candle to Joan Jett in humble area. I know that for one thing she has spent a lot of time over the years giving free concerts for American soldiers over in the middle east.

Uffie.
stuck up talentless bitch just danced around while a DJ spun her songs, didn't-sing-a-word. And I will add I was dragged along to this one because even before I saw this 'concert'/'gig'/whatever I thought she was a stuck up talentless bitch, seeing her live just cemented it for me.

Evermore
2 of the 3 support acts were bad (Special Patrol was great) but Evermore arrived on stage at about midnight, 5 hours after doors opened. Should have just listened to the CD.

I saw Metallica and they played nonstop for like 3 hours. I have to give credit to Lars because that took a LOT of stamina.
Of course I'm pretty sure that was long before you saw them.

For years and years, it was Alice Cooper. The Alice Cooper Show tour ended in Denver, and Alice announced to the audience that this was the last show, that they were tired, and sorry if they sucked. And it was all downhill from there. Never saw a band fake their way through a set so badly before or since.
In 2008, saw My Morning Jacket at the Ogden Theater in Denver. The most horrible sound ever. A close second would be the last show I saw...Soundgarden at Red Rocks a couple of weeks ago. A bad sound guy can ruin ANY show.
You guys are from Redondo Beach? I lived in Redondo until the end of 2006!!!!!
