worst concert experience

[Steve <seeker@elkvalley.net>]

Easy one. Non-Who of course.

About 1980, a friend and I hitched-hiked from near Kingston Ontario to
Ottawa Ontario to see Van Halen. We luckily left the day before as we got
stuck in smith Falls at 11:30 pm. Couldn't get arrested (looking froa warm
spot to sleep. We ended up sleeping on park benches. Found out that the
temp hit a low of 40 degrees F that night. 

Got into Ottaw next day, got to the concert - it was horrible - 90 minutes
of listening to some idiot on stage play speed metal like he was God (in
his own mind anyway). It was so bad that I didn't recognize any Van Halen
tunes. 

Needless to say, I have never spent another penny on that band.

The hitch-hike home was faster.
