'The disappointment was palpable in the entire stadium': 20+ Concertgoers tell all about the worst shows they've ever attended

Music unites us all. Almost every person loves music, and many of us will jump at the opportunity to see our favorite bands play in person. It's a special occasion when the band you listen to every day arrives in your city to play a show. You and your friends can spend weeks getting hyped up for the concert by making tee shirts and blasting their music through the speakers at top volume. On the day of the concert, you arrive to the stadium expecting to see an amazing show. 

For many musicians in big bands, playing gigs is their entire job—and everyone has a bad day at work now and then. Sometimes a member of the band will be off beat, making the song sound strange. Other times, the lead singer refuses to interact with the crowd. In many cases, the arena the band is playing at has sound issues that cause their set to sound a little wonky. 

U/EverydayPersons asked the good folks of Reddit to share the times they've "seen a band that left you totally shocked at their terrible performance," citing their own recent concert disappointment. Interestingly, a lot of the commenters who had poor experiences were seeing classic rock bands. You'd think these legacy groups would have the ability to perform flawless shows, but between awkward band dynamics and performers who can't show up ready to sing, there is plenty of room for error. 

Next up, check out the hilarious ways these people quit, like one person who protested their boss never being around by sending a video dancing on his desk.
