INXS, Royal Concert Hall late eighties.
Didn't really want to go in the first place but a friend had bought tickets before I had time to say no. Dreadful all seated venue, ridiculous beer prices and a band who looked like they just couldn't be bothered. Insipid, white boy funk. Eventually my mate realised that this really was a waste of money and we split after about 40 minutes.
Worst punk gig. Chelsea at Retford Porterhouse 1979 (I think). We knew the promoter so we used to stand by the mixing desk, stage side. Classic Chelsea five piece line up but something was up between October and the rest of the band. Churned out no more than seven or eight songs, when Stevenson said something like Fuck This and unplugged his guitar and walked off. They attempted to carry on without him but eventually Austin and Myles shook their heads and that was it. About a year later James Stevenson is on TOTP with Kim Wilde.

Elvis Costello at Hammersmith Odeon. Baking hot night. Audience sitting down. Elvis with a wanky beard farting around on a piano. Left after a few songs to get back to a pub by the river

Oasis at the Barrowlands sometimes in the 90's.
Liam walked off after 3 songs after someone threw an empty, wee plastic water bottle at the stage and it bounced off his leg.
Assault with a deadly weapon on the Manchester tuff guys possibly masked the fact that they were the most boring band to watch live...

Left after a few songs to get back to a pub by the river I was conned by a pal to see Glenn Tilbrook do a similar set a few years back. I was already half cut when I agreed to this. Never liked Squeeze and Tilbrook's acoustic versions of their drivel had me nipping to the toilet(and the bar)every 20 minutes. Finally, gave up and just stayed at the bar. |

Shane MacGowan and the Popes.
After a wait of nearly 4 hours, MacGowan came on stage at midnight and could barely stand up never mind 'sing' then fucked off after half an hour.
The audience went berserk.
I hope he had a getaway car handy as if the punters would have got a hold of him that night it would definitely have been a case of Rum, Sodomy and the Lash for Shane without the rum.

The Damned, Ryde, Isle of Wight, 1979. They were drunk, going through the motions and taking the piss. It would have been a complete waste of money and effort had I not copped off with a cute punkette from Southampton and spent the night kissing and cuddling in a beach hut after missing the last ferry  |

Eric Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall. Didn't cost me anything as I used to get free tickets for shows there, but his was the only gig I've ever walked out on in my life. Utterly soulless and boring. Not long after I saw Siouxsie and The Banshees there on their '88 Peepshow tour (my favourite album of theirs) and it was a blinder.

Probably Oasis at City's stadium in 2005
Awful muggy grey Sunday in July
Viewed from an upper tier it was truly miserable as these big events tend to be
