Stop bringing broads to shows.

Worst live show you've been dragged to by a spouse/partner/significant other

Before my wife really knew anything about Ryan Adams, I dragged her to the 2005(?) Meyerhoff show in Baltimore. I assured her that she'd like it, and if not at least there were seats. I thought it was great, but that was the show where he kind of freaked out, sent the Cardinals off the stage, and somehow ended up playing a few unamplified songs while standing on a stool in the middle of the audience while being heckled by the 90% of the crowd that couldn't hear. Then after he made it back on the stage, the whole audience rushed to the front, and we ended up packed in like sardines. She found it all very unseemly.
Spin Doctors / Soul Asylum / Screaming Trees
I was pumped for the Trees but was ready to leave as soon as they left the stage. We did get to leave 4 songs into the headliner's set. So it wasn't a complete waste of an evening.

Did you read the title of this thread? She brought me and the shows sucked.
Let me add another crappy hipster show she took me to….the fiery furnaces.
I'd go see a lot of crappy bands if I was reasonably sure I was getting laid out of it.

Molly Hatchet @ Jaxx circa 2006.
My wife would probably say the Dead Meadow was the worst show to which I have dragged her.
Oh - and the Wrens rule.

would be interesting to ask her what the worse show was that i've dragged her to… in fact, i think i will. brb.
i asked but no reply yet. my guess is sigur ros, nyc, 2008.
i had seen them in june at the manhattan ballroom (hammerstein), and it was one of the most exquisite show i have ever seen. certifiably mind-blowing. very close to The Perfect Show™.
so when they came back 3 months later, i jumped at the chance to share this magic with her…. except that there was no magic that night. she was bored, i felt bad, and we ended up leaving the show before the main set was over. from then on, she has referred to SR as "the whale people", since their vocals sounded like plaintiff whale songs to her. i'm not saying i agree with her, but i will admit to seeing her point.

aww really? why?
My wife still shudders at the thought of a Killing Joke show I took her to back at the old 930.

I have no fascination, I just think the term partner is ridiculous. Sorry walkie!
Friends (with or without benefits;)) should apply to this scenario.
I can't think…I like the 930 shows I go to and attend more shows than my friends. I avoid any invited to Buffet or DMB. I can pretty much sniff them out beforehand so I can politely decline. I avoid some of the hippie house shows of family members of friends. I recall another friend dragging me to another local show. FNL and Ned's (Herndon) that's just not music to me so I stopped going. (You know: Kristen and the Noise, Love Seed Mama Jump? Yeah those shows)

That was my first show! I went for the Screaming Trees, and left after Soul Asylum. At Hershey Park ;)

You people were awful. You know "Cleopatra's Cat" and "How Could You Want Him (When You Know You Could Have Me?)" have held up a lot better than "Nearly Lost You" and "Runaway Train" have.

Well it's a good thing I saw them before those songs got dated.

I'd agree with that. I'd rather be mauled by a bear than listen to her talk for one minute.
my wife would almost certainly say one of the Drive-By Truckers shows I dragged her to.
There have been a couple of 9:30 shows where my wife just went and sat down in the back. On a couple of occasions, i acquiesced to her wishes and left early.
She actually quite likes the Truckers, but one time they played a smoke filled 3+ hour show at the Recher in Towson, and she went and sat a spell in the car.
Now that we have a kid and going to a show together means two tickets+babysitting costs, she's very selective in which ones she joins me for!
