What is the WORST concert you’ve ever been to.

Santos L. Halper

5/4/19 10:02am

Face 2 Face. Not the LDS production. The band. Kind of blah.

Ragnar Danneskjold

Blocked. Reported. We can never be friends.

Hoax

5/4/19 10:17am

They are awesome. But live was extremely disappointing. Probably wasn't their fault, the audio was horrible.

Ragnar Danneskjold

5/4/19 11:11am

They’re coming to SLC soon I believe. With The Offspring I think.

Holy Driver

5/4/19 2:09pm

I don't think so...they were here a month or 2 ago with Flogging Molly.

Your right. I heard wrong.

Holy Driver

5/4/19 5:36pm

Same. I've probably seen them 6-7 times, they're always great.

fredgarvin

They have a couple really good songs.

RalphWiggam

5/4/19 10:37am

A couple!??

Hoax

5/4/19 11:56am

Okay...a few.

Five Iron Frenzy and their opening acts stuck out as particularly bad.

Mine is Jack Johnson at USANA. No energy and he sounded flat the whole night.

Santos L. Halper

5/4/19 10:05am

So, pretty much as expected.

John Doe

5/4/19 10:14am

USANA sucks as a concert space IMO. Too open

Matchbox 20, just before they broke up

One of the best concerts I’ve been to.

You're lucky, they didn't really even try at the one I was at.

U2. Not because of the band but the venue. We were so far from the stadium couldn't tell what songs were being played.

Chemish

Large venues = poor sound quality — U2 Mile High Stadium

We saw them at Sam Boyd, and it/they were awesome

Foreigner and Journey at Smith's Ballpark, early 1990s. Very poor sound system.

Sly and the Family Stone

Kurt Bestor and the piano guys are neck and neck. Both bad!

Yikes. That’s a rough show

Dillinger

5/4/19 10:45am

The Cars Heartbeat City

PJMort

5/4/19 10:34am

Probably a tie between Alanis Morisette and RHCP

BlackBart

5/4/19 10:48am

RHCP sounded bad live? That’s hard to believe

boorad

5/4/19 11:59am

Might have just been a bad technical set up

BlackBart

5/4/19 3:22pm

Yep, unless late 80s & some of blood sugar tour smack days, very rare to see

MatthiasG

5/5/19 2:01pm

Seconded on RHCP. Delta center in 2000. Horrible.

Fin

5/4/19 12:36pm

I've heard RHCP are bad live from quite a few people.

Dillinger

5/4/19 12:49pm

Nah. Keidis maybe off, the band tight as it gets unless go waaay back.

MatthiasG

Ryan Adams. Sooooooo boring. I ended up leaving early

jes2332

5/4/19 10:54am

Bummer, he was great when Ive seen him. Much prefer him live to his studio stuff

Dillinger

5/4/19 11:01am

It was weird. He came out sat on a chair and just stared at the ground

jes2332

5/4/19 11:13am

Really different than my experiences with him. He is a lunatic though so who

Dillinger

Taylor Swift. Great performer but she’s awful live.

Tove Lo

Zooropa

Death Cab for Cutie. Not the band but horrible venue and weather at Thanksgiving

Loon to the Moon

5/4/19 11:02am

Smashing Pumpkins. 1996 at Thomas and Mack in Las Vegas. Absolutely awful.

Jimmy Eat World. One of my favorite bands, but they sounded awful live.

Chadillac

I saw them in like 1999. Clarity had recently came out and they were on tour

jes2332

5/4/19 12:31pm

They we’re good when I saw them in 2001ish but couldn’t compete with the other

Beck - I don't know if he was high or drunk or what

Weird. I’ve seen them 5-6 times and they’re always great.

Band of Horses. Absolutely terrible live and nearly killed them for me

cougarnerd

5/4/19 1:07pm

I like hip hop but every hip hop show I’ve been to is garbage.

Dillinger

5/4/19 1:09pm

Cake at the big a$* show in SLC '99. So terrible. Shoe hit the lead singer

Latoya Jackson at our county fair. Yeah, they really bring in the headliners.

David Lo Pan

Smashmouth opening for U2. U2 was awesome, but Smashmouth was even worse than I

This was true

RUNBYU1

5/4/19 7:05pm

Aerosmith in 01 or 02(?). They broke up shortly thereafter, so it wasn't entirely surprising in retrospect.

SpiffCoug

5/4/19 4:56pm

All American Rejects or Jimmy Eat World

RUNBYU1

5/4/19 7:06pm

AAR is horrendous live. And pretty poor in CD form also.

Dillinger

5/4/19 10:42pm

No doubt
