I like Kurt Vile's albums a lot and have seen him in concert a couple of times and always had a good time.  Last night's show was horrible though.  Definitely the worst gig I went to this year.  He just looked like a sloppy mess.

what have i been telling you guys? when you guys gonna wake up???

I like him live solo. The live band thing was never quite there for me, though.

That'd be a good thread. Biggest musical turd. My vote would be for Betty, I saw them open for the B-52's at Wolf Trap. And Erin Evermore, opening for Duran Duran.

Tried a new Ethiopian restaurant and service was "relaxed" so I only caught 4 songs of Waxahatchee.  Honestly, that was enough for me.

The Moore Brothers, who opened (I think) for Joanna Newsome at 6th and I. Worst set I've ever seen. Possible second place was Elite Gymnastics, opener for Grimes at USMH.

Filter, two days before the tour was cancelled so members could go into rehab. Even by Filter standards, it was an absolute mess.

Non-drug related division: Bardo Pond when they opened for Dino Jr shortly after the Dino Jr reunion started.

The Vines first 9:30 show.  Disaster from start to finish.

Chris Whitley - high out of his gourd at iota.  Had to get his tech to play the guitar because he couldn't.  Just leaned on the mic stand sort of mumbling and drooling.

I do miss band member Alyson Palmer tending bar at F St. She was quite the distraction.

I remember kinda liking that show. He was pretty unhinged and all over the place, but I remember enjoying it.

I was probably really high though.

Modest Mouse at the Black Cat (2000 or 2001), Cat Power at Ottobar (2001/2002ish), Elliott Smith at 930 (same). Those are my worst.

[Vas Deferens]

cat power solo at ottobar?  was it touring behind the Covers album?

Modest Mouse at the Black Cat (2000 or 2001), Cat Power at Ottobar (2001/2002ish), Elliott Smith at 930 (same). Those are my worst.

[hutch]

Jeff Tweedy solo at the 930.. .Ryan  Adams at the 930...they were awful....

Rusted Root at the Electric Factory was crusted poop

[Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI]

Modest Mouse at the Black Cat (2000 or 2001),

I thought that show was amazing.

EDIT: To be fair, a quick search shows they played Black Cat 4 times in 2000 or 2001 so it's entirely probable we are referencing different shows.

[sweetcell]

the national @ 930... forget when exactly.  2007?  they were the middle of the bill, forget who the headliner was. 

i do remember bumping into brennser on the steps leading to the upper bar and commiserating on how awful they were.
