worst show you've ever seen at 9:30?

[ratioci nation]

seems like the choices here are bands you just don't like or bands that just gave bad performances
 
 Cat Power was just a horrible performance by an artist I like, worst music though was probably still her opener
 
 worst band I have ever seen live was probably the first opener for Brian Jonestown Massacre at the Mojo, no idea what their name was

 I didn't care for Spiritualized either.  It sounded like they played the same song over and over again at a painful volume.

I have a Paddy Casey cd, it's pretty eff'n good.

Not my fault if you were brainwashed as a child by a socialist school system. Did you also wear a red star on your school blazer?

did not see him at 9:30, but I thought he was one of the better acts at the Tibetan show

Nope, I love Liz Phair, and she played fine, I was just really disappointed in her shiny pop delivery and swagger.  I shouldn't have gone...

That's right, Bollocks. Fight the Power.

Beta Band a couple years ago...the bass was so loud it made my girlfriend sick to her stomach (they were just coming off their summer tour with radiohead; the bull run washout) so I think they were used to cranking it up for outdoor arenas. I think we left early it was so disappointing. We both had earplugs on, too.
 
 However, the Beta Band a year or two before that (which i actually got free tickets to through 9:30 and was only half full) was exceptional.

That was disappointing, I remember them doing a horrible version of She's the One.

i have to second the u.s. maple opening for pavement.  maybe i just don't get them, but it was ugly.

galactic, similar situation. apparently even the hippies said it was a poor performance.
 
 liz was pretty horrendous when i saw her in philly. now guyville just bums me out

The Radiohead show after the Tibetan Freedom Festival was terrible.  So few people you could hear a pin drop.

DARKEST HOUR, opener for cursive.
 
 also, OURS, opening for the wallflowers.

i don't recall cat power being too bad when she opened for gbv a few years back.  but maybe my memory is being kind.

And her headset...
 
 An east coast band, Love Seed Mama Jump (friends love them, why, is unbeknownst to me). The sound was terrible and very loud.
 Whoever opened years ago for Duncan Sheik (hush). They got his name wrong, title and words of one his songs wrong (they tried to cover it). They were barely audible and didn't know the words to their own songs. Have no idea where those two gents are.
 Um, the lady who opened for Snow Patrol.
 Bleu. I say, they blew.
