Since I've seen shows since 1969 (Fanny was the headliner!), I'll go opposite. Out of perhaps 200 shows and maybe 140 groups, I'll consider 198 of them great.
The WORST were simply disappointing, unfortunately very memorable, and the only two times I felt like my money was stolen.
- George Harrison 1974 (poor performance, no voice, snafus on stage)
- Ted Nugent 2000's; I walked out furious after what he did 30 minutes in (I won't write about it was)

This summer I saw Primal Scream in Dublin and it was such an awesome, fun show.
They played Screamadelica live, and it was so great to start the show with Moving On Up which is one of my top 10 songs of all time.
I was on the rail at the front and the crowd energy was amazing - everyone jumping and singing along to every song. People were fun, and cool, and not a$$holes.
It was Bobby G's birthday and the crowd sang to him which made him smile and laugh.
When the encore started it was just a lone bagpiper, playing that one riff of Loaded for two minutes straight. Then the bass player joined him, then a minute later, the drummer, then the guitarist, then Bobby came out playing maracas or something and dancing. It was a total frenzy and one of my all-time favorite concert moments. What a blast.

Primal Scream are one of the great live bands. I’ve caught them a bunch of times going back to the early 90s. They never disappoint.

…1982 Doug & the Slugs…
Shows I hated,… still trying to forget, Colin James 1988 Commodore Ballroom,.
Doug and the Slugs!?!? Only a Canuck…!
Too bad about Colin James. I saw him a few years ago and he was great. Maybe worth another go.
yeah, it was a disappointment...not saying he's not good, just that it was a lame show.
Doug and the Slugs...hardest working band in show business (RIP Doug).

For nostalgic Canucks, there’s a documentary on the CBC about Doug and the Slugs, also streaming on Gem.

Agree! I only saw them once a few years back in Boston. I felt so badly for them because there was hardly anyone there, but they didn't seem too bummed out and still played a great show. I had tickets to see them in NY around 91/92, and my friend bagged on me at the last minute. I was too much of a wimp at the time to go by myself, thinking they'll be back next year, but then they didn't come back for like 20 years!
