I think possibly one of the worst gigs I've seen was a Fall gig - which is some kind of accolade I guess,... I saw them 12 years ago in Nottingham - they delayed for an hour, till the whole audience were riled up and screaming abuse at the empty stage. Eventually they came on stage at 10pm, played for 40 minutes - I missed their encore as I had a train to catch.
