Ive fallen asleep twice while seeing widespread panic. Once at a festival and once at their own amphitheater show.
Left a dylan show after a half hour out of boredom a few years ago. Beck and wilco opened the show and were amazing, then came bob. Snooze fest.

Foghat 15+ years ago. Blue Oyster Cult was the opening act and was much better.

Van Morrison.
I love the guy--he's one of my all-time favorites. However, when you see him in concert (and I have many times) you never know what you're gonna get. He could sing half the songs with his back to the crowd. If he's in a blues or jazzy mood, all songs are blues or jazzy. Even if he plays something you've heard before it might be a verse before you recognize it. And it's not like all I want to hear are his hits, but good luck if you came looking for them.
In my experience I like his sets better lately than in the 80's/90's. I've had good and bad concert experiences with Van but as Forrest Gump said, "It's like a box of chocolates".

I went to see Tower of Power with WAR at the Beau Rivage a couple of years ago. I was going to see T.O.P. but I though eh, I like live music I'm interested to see WAR.
Hit traffic on the way, missed almost all of T.O.P.s set and sat through just the worst 2 hours of music in my life.

New Order concert ca. 1994.
Played about 45 minutes, minus most of their hits, with zero energy and then just walked off stage. We chalked it up to them being high on something or in some kind of fight with each other.

Todd Snider, Gruene Hall 2001. Todd came out, played "Beer Run", thanked us all for coming out and left.
The folks that ran Gruene Hall apologized to us. They didn't give us our money back or anything.

I saw the Smashing Pumpkins at Lollapalooza '94 and they kicked arse. Great sound system, plus they were showing Enter the Dragon on a screen before they came out.
I saw them at the Cajundome in '96 and they sucked. Sound was terrible and that douche Billy Corgan kept on bitching at the crowd. "I don't know why we're playing here and not New Orleans. You guys must not get many bands come through here because you don't know how to act." Garbage were the opening act and they sounded better.

David Allen Coe at the House of Blues. He was clearly shitty drunk and they only played for like 15 minutes. The odd thing, though, is that my friend and I are almost certain that Dimebag Darrell was playing guitar with him. What first caught our attention was the Confederate flag Dean XL, which was always associated with Dime. At the time, we had no idea that Rebel Meets Rebel was a thing. After Dime was killed and Rebel Meets Rebel finally saw the light of day, we had a "holy shite, it WAS him" moment.
All that said, I've never seen anything anywhere verifying that it was him, but I doubt many DAC fans were big Pantera fans.
That said, that's the only time I have ever seen beer bottles thrown at a stage.

5. The Gourds always pissed me off when they wouldn't play Gin & Juice. Play the one song people want to hear you pretentious Levon Helm wannabes.
Most disappointed I've been was seeing 7 or 8 repeats from a show the night before

I loved that concert. I had a great time.

Jason Isbell shortly after her released “Here We Rest”
Show was about half truckers songs and he was wasted. I was pretty pissed when I left.

Went with the wife to a rod stewart concert solely because patty smythe was opening. but, the 900,000,000,000 women in the building drowned out patty's singing. i didn't get to hear a single song.

A friend of mine dragged me to a Panic show last year at the First Bank Center. I brought headphones and an external battery for my phone and streamed the Bisco show in Vegas.

Not real sure what I expected, but I went and saw Broken Bells 5 or 6 years ago. It was dreadfully boring. Guess I should have expected that since The Shins were also painfully boring when I saw them a few years before that.

Iron Maiden 2010 Chicago - Great energy from Bruce and good performance, but the setlist was awful. Everything besides 3 songs (Running Free, Hallowed, Fear of the Dark) was from post 2001 albums. Bruce was also really preachy about politics in between songs. Agree with an earlier post about having 3 guitars makes their sound very muddy. My first and only time seeing them and feel a little robbed. Would try again.
Counting Crows 2006 Dallas - They weren't bad, but they take some of the songs people show up for and ad lib/improv so much they are barely recognizable. That may be their thing but I was there for Goo Goo Dolls mainly and was hoping to hear some Crows hits.

Built to Spill at the Earl (ATL) two years ago .... played 11 songs. 10 were covers.
venue holds 200, so was excited to see them in such an intimate space.
