Possibly Birmingham 03, short show and the band acted like they were going to play one last song, hit one note and ran off laughing. Hilarious in hindsight but maybe not if you were there.

Can’t see how you can have a serious discussion on this topic and not include Wrigley 2013. Performance aside (which was average), the three hour rain delay and chaos trying to leave the stadium makes this a clear cut loser.
The fact that they preprinted setlist t-shirts ahead of time, showing what could have been, makes it that much worse.

Dude at the far end of the group was drunk and obnoxious, and pissed off the guy on the other side of him...so they switched him to the opposite end of their group to separate them - putting him right next to me. He proceeded to be obnoxious for the remainder of the show. So that made it my worst PJ show of all time. Even worse than the drunk guy behind us at PJ20 night 2, who chose to use the opening as a piss break (appropriately, "Wash"), but didn't leave his seat to do so.
You didn't deserve this, friend.

Truth be told, I probably did. But thanks!
