Nirvana - 1991 - Edinburgh
Bleach was a cracking album, a real grunge classic, so when I heard Nirvana were touring their new album, I thought "I'm so going to that!"
Then they released "Smells like teen spirit", which set the alarm bells ringing, but I thought it may just be one dodgy track.

Walking to the gig, all along the road people were begging for tickets, but it was firm in my grubby hand, as I really wanted to see them.

Imagine my disappointment when Nirvana played an utterly turgid set, the new songs utter wank, the old songs with no power to them. Hell, the support acts Shonen Knife and Captain America both blew them off the stage. It's almost like Kurt was smacked up and tired of playing to his fans, he needed to have a good hard think about what he was doing with his life, and take remedial action.

Anyway, the gig wasn't ruined, the venue (Calton Studios, fact fans) had a few arcade machines which were free, so spent the rest of the gig playing Outrun.

A close second is M.I.A. I've walked out of her gigs twice as she really shows the true meaning of "emperor's new clothes". Can't sing, can't dance, looks awful. Yup, she went far.
