re: Most disappointed you have ever been after a concert?

Kings of Leon in Dallas. I was a huge fan and they were terrible. They sounded just like they do on the radio. But they acted like they didn't give a shite, never engaged with the crowd, no encore. I was really let down.

This is going to reveal my "blunder years," but I went to the Summer Sanitarium show in Atlanta back in 2000. Being the shite head that I was, I was most excited about Korn opening up for Metallica. The sound system in the dome was awful. You pretty much heard the kick drum and bass and nothing else.
Then we waited forever...and more forever...and waited...and then the guys from Metallica came out and said that James Hetfield got injured on a jet ski and wouldn't be performing.
I have to respect them for what they did though: They played their set anyway and had guys from the other bands come out and sing or play guitar. They even pulled a few fans up to sing a few songs. Sound system was still shite though.
They even came back to Atlanta to play a free make-up concert a few months later.

They sucked a big ol donkey dick
If this is during circa MerriweatherPP then I understand. Those songs besides Taste and Brothersport dont transfer well live.
CentipedeHZ and on > they have been great live and really versatile with their setlists.

Built to Spill at the Earl (ATL) two years ago .... played 11 songs. 10 were covers.
Roughly a year or so ago I was just FIRST getting into BTS, like only heard my first song by them like a week or 2 before the show (I can't remember the venue, it was a small one though) so I didn't really know a lot about them other than KILAS and PFNO. I got tix because I loved those 2 albums and lo and behold they were playign in my town so why not. Unfortuantley they didn't really play much (if at all) from those 2 albums and most songs were from the new album they had just released.
I enjoyed it but was a bit bummed out then I read somethign online that it wasn't the full origianl lineup, Seaward or other bit BTS fans will have to elaborate but I think with that lineup they didn't have enough guitar players to play some of those old hits? Idk, can't remember, but I think I remember reading SOME kind of justification for why they didn't play much from those 2 albums.

Bob Dylan at the 2006 Jazz Fest
... Was AWEFUL. he didn't play any of his old greats and just promoted his new shite album. That was such a huge letdown. Then Dr John comes on stage and KILLS it

Incubus in 2011. Wasn't really a big fan in the first place but the GF wanted to go see them. Easily the worst show I've ever seen. They were horrible.

Bob Dylan at Jazzfest in 2006 (or '07?). I was super excited to see this living legend. I had a decent spot for the show. He came out and played almost none of his best tracks, most of which I'd never heard, and on top of that, he sounded terrible. Just absolutely terrible.
Tool - 2006 at the Woodlands. This was my first time seeing them. I had a chance in 2001 in BR, but couldn't go. Well, at the Woodlands show, Maynard was sick and lost his voice, so he barely sang at all and it was mostly an instrumental performance. The highlight of the show was when some little dude sucker punched some annoying screaming fan in the back or side of the head. The screaming fan was much bigger than the other little dude took off running after the punch and the screaming fan gave chase. Not sure what happened after that.
Most recently, LVL UP gave a pretty crappy showing at SXSW this year. I was super excited to see them as I was really into their latest album. They looked half asleep and like they didn't want to be there. They also didn't sound that good.

Savage Garden a long while back when they had a few songs on the radio. The tickets were free thank goodness, because we walked out about halfway through. They just sat there and play the instruments and sing. There were no entertainment or performance aspects to any of what they were doing

Sounds like Tool sucks

On the contrary, the best show I've ever seen was Tool at Voodoo Fest after Lateralus came out.
Me and a podnah saw them at the Aftershock festival in Sacramento in Oct of 2016. After the show, I got back to the truck to find my bud freaking out, pacing back and forth, about to have a conniption fit. He was listing all these great bands he'd seen in their prime in the 70s and 80s, and he said none of them put on a show that blew him away like Tool did that night.

I've had the unfortunate experience of seeing Kenny Chesney twice at tiger stadium, I just think his show is super boring. I'm not a big country guy but Brooks n Dunn, George strait, Jason aldean,and Jake Owen put him to shame.

Concrete Blonde at House of Blues in New Orleans.
Plays four or five songs, bitch throws her guitar down on the stage pretty hard, storms off, show's over.

In the late 2000's I caught Chuck Berry on a good night at Blueberry Hill - a basement bar that holds 200 - and it was great. A great performance for a man of 80. He looked and moved like a man much younger.
As a lifelong Jerry Lee Lewis fan I was set to see him at Beale Street a month of so later and was pumped for a something similar. Then out walks a man who honestly should have been wheeled out. The hands were slow (still talented though), the voice warbled and the show was completely mailed in.
Saw him twice thereafter (again at Beale) and he was better each time, but still a shell.

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.
Saw The Shins last Tuesday, and it was still a good time but definitely a little disappointing. Mercer was sick, so his voice was pretty bad. He told us he was sick at the beginning and said he’d power through with the crowd’s vocal help, so he tried .. but it just didn’t sound good.
It was very short too. A good 6 songs I wanted to hear weren’t played.

George Harrison Dark Horse tour. Last show of the tour was at the LSU Assembly Center. Georges voice was shot and having Ravi Shankar as an opening act and then appearing on several songs during set was so bad and boring.
Runners up would be several show that I remember at the Centroplex (River Center), worst acoustics of any venue, especially if the sound levels were high. Heart I remember being unbearable.

ZZ Topp - Saw them on the Recycler tour. They were playing with backing tracks so they could do all the stupid shite from their videos like spinning their guitars.
Shinedown - Total sell-outs and horrible live. They didn't play anything decent off of their first album, but made sure to play their horrible arse movie tie-in songs from The Expendables and Alice in Wonderland. Opening acts minus one were great, though. 10 Years, Sevendust, and Chevelle. the other opening act sounded worse than most garage bands; Puddle of Mudd.

Two that come to mind was 311 at the river center and cross Canadian ragweed at the varsity.
I don’t think it was 311’s fault the acoustics in the river center aren’t very good in my opinion.
Cross Canadian Ragweed played nothing but new stuff, cussed out some fans on the front row, and then just walked off the stage.
