Not gigs that were cancelled in advance but where the audience found out after arriving that the main act wouldn't show up.
Sylvain Sylvain was scheduled to do a free show once so i decided to go. A guy gets up on stage and says "Good evening. Sylvain Sylvain did not show up." He encouraged us to stay for the local band that was supposed to open but would now, in effect, be the headliner. Since that band sucked, I left.
A guy I knew in school once traveled two and a half hours in the rain to see Dan Fogelberg, only to arrive to find the show was cancelled, apparently at the last minute. He got what he deserved.
