Worst Gig Ever

[Lambies Lost Doo]

Radiohead at Glasgow Green x 2. In a big top in 99 or 2000. On a big stage last year or the year before. Left early before end of both gigs. Self indulgent. Will never go see them live again.

Bay City Rollers in a small pub/club (capacity 150) in Albany, New York in October 1988 - absolutely fkin brutal as every song was a badly rehearsed car crash, most of the newer members were pished and they ended up arguing/fighting on stage with the female backing singer throwing a glass into the megabored audience of about 40! ...

 

... by way of comparison I'd seen the Stone Roses in Saratoga, NY the week after which was a quite excellent and memorable gig.

Saw them at Meadowbank with Beck supporting and they were great! (well, good - Beck was far better)

i remember i tried to win a megadrive on clyde 1 when i was 15 but i picked the envelope with Five tickets in it. I remember thinkin this is gonna be guff but my female pal dragged me along coz we got to meet five too. It was brilliant - place was fulla horny burds so ended all up pure nipped out and with a stinky finger! A Libertines gig i was at was one of the worst i've been to. Not because the libertines sucked, because they were immense it was because i was down the front n everyone was throwing plastic cups of lager about. I got hit wae a plastic cup full of beer but when i licked my lips i noticed an aroma of pish coz thats what it was. i threw up all over my pals legs and two burds in front of me. They were not impressed. Had to wash in the minging bogs and buy a Libertines t shirt that was pure expensive. Pure skidmark of a night

 

And the prize for Glasgow's answer to The Inbetweeners goes to... Had to read that a few times to take it all in. "A remarkable night out" as I'm sure it said the The Herald! Good one mate

Worst gig - Ugly Kid Joe @ Hordern Pavillion Sydney early 90's. I was offered a free ticket and I was too naive to say no.

 

Plus Jay Z supporting U2 earlier this week. He was atrocious. I couldn't understand a word he said. At one stage it sounded like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck were having an argument. That Rap crap really is the lazy mans music.

 

By the way , U2 were awesome!!!

Took my sister to the Osmonds at the Apollo in the late 70s. Truly dire but some the talent around me was pretty hot.
