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

The first time they played the club was in the summer of 2002, right after the first album came out.  The album was decent for a first effort and nobody yet had a reason to believe they would be so bad.

Hooverphonic and Snowpony back in 98 or so was pretty bad.  But the worst I've seen at the 930 would have to be Cornershop.  They were filming for HBO.  I've always liked whatever I've heard by them, but live they were boring.

Again...it was a DISCO!
 
 There was no "SHOW", apart from those two slappers on the stage, but you get a couple of those in any given "DISCO" so don't count.
 
 If you want to say it was fun, a laugh, enjoyable, a great atmoshpere, I'll accept. I might disagree with you, but will accept it. But never in a million years was it a "SHOW"

Mankie, what exactly were you expecting from Fatboy Slim?

 I was expecting something more than just someone playing records seeing as it was Fatboy Slim, you can get that in Crush in Adams Morgan every night of the week. Seeing as it was at the 930 I expected some type of performance..something like Stereo MC's did at the hfs'tival years ago. He's basically a DJ too but puts on a show mixing records with musicians, and it was excellent.

I still regret to this day not seeing the Stereo MC's when they hit the 9:30 Club a couple/few years ago.

So why did you?

CAT POWER...definitely. I actually heckled Chan toward the end of the night after a horrendous cover of the White Stripes.  I think she left the stage soon after, not returning to encore.  Thank Christ! I would have thrown my beer bottle at her eventually.  I really enjoyed her recorded stuff before that show and now I can't even bear to listen to it.  She should definitely stick to the studio.

Ruby (she of "Tiny Meat" fame).  Dreadful show.

I forgot to mention Charlotte Martin, who opened for Paul Kelly a few months ago -- maudlin wailing and tuneless piano pounding at a volume that would make Lemmy cringe -- there is a circle in hell for Tori Amos and her acolytes.

On the topic of Fatboy slim and disco vs. show, did anyone else see Aphex Twin w/Death in Vegas and the Sneaker Pimps? That was one weird show. Aphex Twin had his laptop, a coffee table and a sofa, minimal lights...just him fiddling with his stuff, curled up on the sofa, and then after a while 2 overstuffed teddy bears dancing out onto the stage.

Yup, I think that will go down as the hottest temperature wise show I've ever been to at the club. I don't know how those people in the bears could handle the heat!

Worst show I saw was at the old 9:30 location. The Dude of Life! He had some connection to one of the Phish guys, and he worked it into a mini-tour. Awful show. Can't remember why I even went.
