Thread Name: worst performances live acts
Subject: RE: worst performances live acts
Went to a show in Winnipeg featuring Toots and the Maytals, (the seminal reggae group). The band comes out about 45 min. late. Band starts playing, gettin' the groove going. Toos comes out, sings about two lines, and stops the band to yell at the sound guy. Starts the tune again; one line in he screams at the sound guy, smashes, and I mean smashes the mic down on the stage and storms off stage, hauling his band with him. We sit for about another half an hour while the guitarist is doing a "sound check", calling "more gain. more gain. more gain" on the monitors. We figure, "Oh there's not gonna be too much feedback when he comes out again!!" Got up, got a refund, and got out. I never heard whether he ever did get on with it, but that's me last Toots concert.
