By an absolute country mile it has to be The Replacements at Manchester International around 1985.

AFTO will be on berating me very soon for this.

Worst gig that I didn't want to go to was Tangerine Dream at the Royal Albert Hall, 3 and a half hours of terminal boredom. :smt015

Worst gig that I did want to go to was probably New Order, Wolverhampton Civic, five or six years ago. I think the split had begun and they clearly weren't up for it. I'd seen them three years earlier at Brixton Academy and they were fantastic that night.
