I think Bon Jovi was my 'worst'.. even though he isn't *that* bad..
I just saw Bon Jovi for the first time a couple weeks ago, and I enjoyed every moment of it! I find the songs to be very uplifting, and I sang along to every one, even the ones I didn't know the words to!
I would definitely go see them again, even though Richie S. wasn't there! :roll:
Bon Jovi are awesome live, I saw them on Keep The Faith tour, they were fantastic. That said I would not buy a ticket knowing Richie Sambora was not playing, although I am sure they still put on a good show.
The only awful act I have seen is Five Star, that was my first concert. My second was Alice Cooper, and every gig since has been a good band.

I saw Bon Jovi twice over the summer without Richie, and they put on a hell of a show. Jon is quite the entertainer.

Yes, Jon is quite the entertainer! I had a great time at that concert, and as I said, would definitely see them again, with or without Richie!
Mariah Carey was my first concert.....my mom thought she was doing something nice for my sister and I and 'surprised' us with tickets. It was indeed a very nice gesture, just not a very nice concert

Busta Rhymes I'm sure i've mentioned it here before, but he came out cradling what appeared to be a baby, unwrapped the bundle, and it was a bottle of Courvoisier.

Aww I feel bad for your mum now, I hope you acted like you loved it.

Creed. they played the small stage at Edgefest or Summersault or something. They were horrible. It really seemed like Stapp was actually trying to act like Ed.
Crash Test Dummies. Saw them open for Alanis on her supposedformerinfatuationjunkie tour. The lead singer came out for their last song wearing women's clothing. it was odd.
Vanilla Ice during his rap metal stage. Yes, I willingly paid for this. :oops:
Nickelback. Played at a weekend festival (Shakin' The Lake) back in 2000 on Sunday mid-afternoon before they were famous.
Honeymoon Suite. A buddy got free tickets and told me he'd buy my drinks if I went with him. I love free booze, but I still regretted going to this.

I was gonna say that I've never seen an embarrassing act because just about anyone I've ever seen was if nothing else "interesting to watch", if not decent or even mind blowingly-awesome.
But then someone just posted Creed... which brought back a painful flashback that, indeed, I saw Creed too, and I think what makes it embarrassing is that I knew they sucked, but I was curious and the ticket was free... but no, they still sucked. A LOT.
Otherwise, I've seen a ton of acts that probably most people here would find embarrassing (like, I was around in the 80s... I saw and LOVED bands like Adam and the Ants, Bow Wow Wow...), but if I had a good time, why would I be embarrassed?
Oh, wait, remembered another one... The Hooters!!! And the only reason I include them is, I lived in Philly at the time (where they're from), and I saw them a LOT. Because they were actually pretty good musicians... but still, that one is embarrassing!
And my own personal most embarrassing concert moment: saw the J. Geils Band at MSG at the height of their Love Stinks fame (that's not embarrassing), but I was up close and for some reason there was like NO security, so the ENTIRE SHOW fans were running on stage and dancing, hugging the band, one guy even ran on with a random rotary dial phone that he pretended to be talking on... it was an endless parade of fans jumping up and doing their thing. And I remember thinking "Well, usually I'd never even think to do this, but if I'm ever gonna be onstage at MSG, this is apparently it, so..." so I climbed onstage in the middle of a song, but Peter Wolf had his back to me singing to the fans behind the stage so I didn't know what to do once I got up there.. so I tapped him on the shoulder and scared the crap out of him, he jumped 10 ft in the air and I felt awful! But he was very nice and hugged me and I just climbed back down again and felt like an idiot. :oops: Needless to say, that is the one and only time I ever got onstage uninvited.
Worst has got to be Bob Dylan. I've see some bands that I'm not into (Seether, Mars Volta, The Dead) that put on good shows in that the band had a good amount of energy and looked like they were having fun, but Bob Dylan just embarrassed himself on stage with his non-nonsensical singing, poor pitch, and lack of presence. His band was pretty good, though.

Too bad about Bob Dylan-he was good in the sixties and seventies. I saw him in 1979, and really enjoyed the show! :thumbup:
Bands/people that I wasn't proud of at the time, but when I look back I'm actually very glad I saw them:
- Elton John and Billy Joel together (legendary)
- Amy Winehouse
- John Mayer
- James Taylor
After that it gets a bit worse:
- Hootie and the Blowfish
- Swollen Member
- Kelis
The absolute worst act I've ever seen was A$AP Rocky. But he opened for Nas, A Tribe Called Quest and Jay Z, so it was worth it.
i've seen hootie. it wasn't too bad.
did kelis do milkshake and i hate you so much right now aahhhhh!?
Hootie actually was pretty entertaining. It was a free show they did at Steamboat Springs during the Olympic trials. A lot of drunken skiiers and snowboarders still in full gear from being on the mountain that day.
Kelis did "I hate you so much right now" but we left before she had the chance to do milkshake! She did play the drums for a few songs... thought that was pretty cool considering most of backing music came from a laptop.

Santana? Embarrassing???
And if Lenny had that amazing female drummer backing him, how was that not also awesome?
