worst shows you have seen
hedgie:
Without a doubt, the worst I have ever been to was a Sisters of Mercy concert. Fuck, it was so bad that I ended up walking out.
KingOfIreland:
An acquaintance/nemesis of mine.
Dude wasn't born to sing or play guitar.
Actually, scratch that. My own first ever performance where the other guitarist and I hadn't practiced the songs enough out of sheer boredom and were just reading the chords off a sheet of paper draped across the mic stand. We'd spent all the practice times just showing off to each other.
Also, the vocalist got out a harmonica in the wrong fucking key and started blasting that alongside our playing.

Saw R.E.M. in 2008. They were great, but Modest Mouse opened for them. I'd heard, like, maybe two Modest Mouse songs before that point, and my impression was basically "they seem alright."
Jesus they were bad live. Ended every song just flailing tunelessly on their instruments for a minute and a half. You can end, like, one song that way per set. You don't want it to be your thing.

Phish at Alpine Valley, WI. My ex was into them; I found it to be a nearly deadly bore and was thrilled when the show, such as it was, was over.
Active Madness:
Worst thing I have ever seen was Marilyn Manson at Soundwave 2012. It's an Aussie music festival.
I'm a Manson fan from way back, but hearing him slur his way through songs, forget the lyrics and then stop mid-song and demand a stage hand come put a jacket on him, it made me really, intensely dislike him.
Also saw Nine Inch Nails once, when halfway through their set the power went out because the venue hadn't done what they should with the power. The power sort-of went on after 20 minutes and they charged through the rest of their set regardless, so that was good.
