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

For me, hands down it was Tori Amos. Thankfully nobody ever dragged me to Ani DiFranco.

Runner up: Medeski, Martin, and Wood


Worst show my current love brought me to: Kurt Elling

The recent MMW at the 930?


That was the worst performance I've seen this year.. the crazy thing is apparently the fans picked the set list.. what a snoozer.

i've been dragged by my lady to see some dumb rock bands that i hate:
Far, Minus the Bear

Many years ago, a date dragged me to see the Indigo Girls at Constitution Hall.  That's my nominee here.

I wish she'd dragged me to Rusted Root.. at least I'd have an excuse why I was there instead of taggin' along with my clueless Deadhead friends…

No, I'm guessing Year 2000. Based on memories of my dating history moreso than memories of my concert going history.

ok . . . this is the second thread started by you revolving around your new fascination with "who people are attached to in a relationship and what they should be called."  odd.

mine is sting and annie lennox at nissan.  don't get me wrong, annie is fine in a small room setting, just not at nissan.  horrible all around.

worst show (for him) i brought him to . . . dinosuar jr at the black cat, when they still destroyed your sense of space and of time and of meaning.

I guess the first would be Saliva at the club, and even got to meet that wonderful fellow before they went on.  As he tried to hit on my friend, he told me he knew I couldn't have been the singer of Filter because they were in rehab together (and then he did a shot) Glad that worked out for you buddy!! :D

The next one would be from an old club employee (*cough*Andi*cough*) who dragged me to see Echobrain (Jason Newstad from Metallica's band) at the club.

The Wrens
Sufjan Stevens

an ex once dragged me to one of her friend's band's gig.  in her defense, she warned me that it wasn't going to be good and that she was going out of solidarity not out of musical interest.  they were total amateurs and it was predictably bad.

with the (current) missus, i'm in the driver's seat when it comes to selecting live shows.  if we end up at a bad one, ain't nobody's fault by mine.  would be interesting to ask her what the worse show was that i've dragged her to… in fact, i think i will.  brb.

The wife loathed WEEN…prob. the only show she truely hated.

Actually, it wasn't me who had the fascination. I'm thinking it was Yada?


I'm just trying to be inclusive. At one time or another, i'myself have been referred to as a "spouse", a "partner" or a "significant other". Among other things.

I have no fascination, I just think the term partner is ridiculous. Sorry walkie!

They fucking sucked. We were right smack dab in front of the lead singer and it was so fucking boring. Essentially standing there staring at a boring ass band for over an hour. It's not like you're being shoved around, dancing around, or jumping, we were just standing there. It was so god damn boring.

You're fucking joking, right? Two of the best shows I've ever seen: Sufjan in 2005 and the Wrens in 2005 and 2009.

No… but I think a lot of the negativity towards these shows were due to the bitter bitch I was there with. :)

These were both in 04'… But in general, I think the Wrens really suck and Sufjan was kind of interesting there for a while, but in general, he sucks too! Sorry mang!

Not to mention sense of hearing?
