2 for me ; John Martyn at the Lowry about 8 years ago, maybe more. Came on late, pissed and couldn't play. The band tried to cover for him, and his Les Pqul was turned right down, but after 20 minutes we gave it best. We weren't alone - plenty were leaving and comparing notes, as seasoned Martyn fans observed, he was always mercurial, but if he was having a shocker, you were best just to write the night off and go home.

I saw him around 20 years ago - I don't recall if he was late, but he was definitely pissed and couldn't play! Unfortunately his guitar was NOT turned down on this occasion.
