X3. With ticket sales low we only purchased tickets on the day. Just on two hours into the show after a short interval, they had just made their way out for about 5 songs when the lights faded, we walked out, only for them to come back on and do another 40 odd minutes.

We kept walking.

You know what, that was the worst crowd I'd ever been in for a gig.
Only went cos my missus got the tickets.
The audience were a bunch of theatregoers - deserved the shite performance it got.

Sad thing is, my missus wasn't able to go once they rescheduled the thing.
I only went to have Friday off work and go watch the first day of the SA v Eng tour match. Lehmann out for 99.
Great day drinking beers on the hill with about 30 other people - had more fun there.

2. Blood Sucking Freaks one of a number of bands supporting Silverchair @ Adel Uni Cloisters in '97. Abysmal.

3. The Fauves @ Holdfast Hotel in '99. Right when they turned to shit. They were great the year before at Thebbie supporting Regurgitator & TISM.

4. Silverchair @ Clipsal 500 in '06. For me official confirmation they were done I couldn't wait for their set to finish and they were upstaged by Shihad.


My cousin was part of this band for a while, they were weird to say the least

Chop Liver.. um Meatloaf.

Expected the worst but the tickets were bought before the grand final debarcle. If anything he's got worse. Left after 4 songs and we were not the first to go.

Just heard how bad Meat loaf was tonight
A family member says he was WOEFUL [And the worst live concert ever seen]
Heard some of the songs on the phone, and I have to agree , aint no doubt about it
His 2 out 3 effort was well below his standard
Unfortunately Im anticipating some poor reviews in the press
What a shame
Thank god for my Meat Loaf vynils

RJM was not alone, people were leaving throughout the concert

Absolutely agree. I thought I was at a Crows game

and I was one of them.

Truly disappointed - I wanted to go to a Meatloaf concert just to say I've been and he was truly awful :(

In Melbourne one of the commercial FM stations had tickets as prizes and they couldn't give them away! Seriously. People weren't ringing up for them. :lol:

Unfortunately, I went as well. A mate bought a load of tickets before the AFL GF and was struggling to get rid of them so I paid him $100 for one.

I don't think I'll see a worse performance in the rest of my time on Earth.

I saw him at Thebby in the '80's, he was sensational, I'm so glad I didn't go and have my live memory tarnished (worse than it was after the GF)

The Used, part of the Taste of Chaos back in 2005. I loved them before seeing them. Bert (singer) was an arrogant cock. The bass player led on his back on the stage while he played, uniterested. So, as you'd expect, someone in the mosh threw a shoe, hitting Bert in the face. He stopped and cracked the shits, played a couple more songs half heartedly and walked off, no encore, nothing...shat me to tears and never listened to them ever again...then their popularity pittered out...wonder why...

Elton John early 90's at the Entertainment Centre.

I was expecting a Grand Piano and effort. Got an Electric Piano and a very angry Elton who spent half the show arguing with his back up band.

Very disappointed.
