Showing Original Post only (View all)What was the worst concert you ever went to? [View all]
Mine was Alice Cooper at the Agora (now called Newport Music Hall) in Columbus probably 1982ish. He was over an hour late and totally wasted.
Elton John and Billy Joel at Ohio Stadium wasn't bad-just disappointing. Joel had just gotten out of the hospital but gave it his all, but Elton just phoned it in (no energy whatsoever).

I saw The Kinks at Winterland in the late '70s, and it was just like your CCR concert in Seatle
