Cars. Opening night of their tour in mid 80s. Wang Chung opened for them and were better, so that should tell you how bad they were.

I saw this tour, too. Without a doubt, the worst show I've seen. I didn't recognize half the songs , and yes I know all the Cars songs, the light show was non existent, I thought all the band was going to fall asleep, and, yes, people booed when it ended. Further, Wang Chung was nothing impressive, but in retrospect, I guess they were better than the Cars, even only I knew the "everybody Wang Chung tonight" song.

One more I'd like to add is Daughtry. Literally thought he didn't give a shite about being on stage that night.

I've been to my share of concerts but could only remember one truly disappointing concert, until you mentioned DAC. Had the displeasure of seeing him at Billy Bob's about 2003 and he was horrible, just a drunken mess.


I think I saw him at HOB New Orleans on that tour. He was terrible. Played for about 30 minutes and sounded like shite. Stumbled off stage without saying a word. Only time I've ever seen a crowd throwing bottles and glasses at a band's gear.

Bob Dylan in Pensacola. Maybe I'm just not into that (got dragged to it), and it's cool to say I saw him live, but zero stage presence with every song seemingly being verse, chorus, 5 minute solo

I didn't seek him out, but I happened to see Eminem at Voodoo while waiting for Cypress Hill and it was awful. Black Eyed Peas put on a much better show.

Some people must like them, but Cowboy Mouth is fricking nauseatingly bad. thumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthump

Ying yang twins at groovin on the grounds either fall 04 or 05.

I don't like most rap anyway, but they literally walked around the stage grunting for a half hour.

The Strokes and MGMT

I've seen most of the bands mentioned on here and none of them were as bad as either The Strokes or MGMT

If you could call them a band....Cypress Hill at Bonnaroo. They were so high they were completely incoherent. It was pretty horrible.

I heard the Strokes just look board on stage.


I guess I need to youtube MGMT live. Can't really imagine how that would be something I'd want to see, and I'm kind of a fan.




Just did it.....................eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

the Flaming Lips before I saw them at Echo Project in Georgia in 07...hands down, worst singing I've eve seen/heard live. I think it was the end of a tour for them, and Wayne's voice was scratchy and super weak...it was beyond awful. He would have been better off not "singing" at all.


that's the charm of wayne's vocals. they are highly affected.
