The most dissapointing prog moments(NOT albums)

There is already a thread here for most dissapointing/worst prog albums.
What I am looking for here is..well,here are mine.
Missing ABWH in 89.They were scheduled to play Bonner Springs.I found out 10 years later that the show was cancelled,so I shouldn;t feel bad,i guess
Missing Yes in 1994.I was supposed to go with a couple of friends but they backed out since they were too tuckered out from the previous nights show at the same venue.
Missing Yes(again)in 2000 or 2002?Whenever it was that they last played Bonner Springs.
Buying Yes-Union and finding out that ABWH and Yes West do NOT play on each song and that they used a bunch of session musicians.
Seeing Steve Howe in 1993.He was really good.But I was hoping that since Billy Currie(Ultravox)and Nigel Glockner(Saxon)played on Turbulence,they might be there with him.I did not know that is was just a 1 man gig.And he played too much unplugged stuff.
Turning on the TV back on December ? 1993 and hearing John Tesh mention that Frank Zappa had passed away

Probably just this year, I was getting fired up for the Yes 40th anniversary tour and Jon Anderson suffered that asthma attack. Seeing as I suffer from it too I know it's important to take it easy but man, I was so close. I've only seen them once (due to young age and not knowing any better), so I'm genuinely concerned that I won't get a chance to see them again.

I second Jon Anderson hurting his voice and thus canceling the 40th anniversary tour.

Yes performing "Tales from Topographic Oceans" at Madison Square Garden, NYC (I believe 1973).  Boring.

A fellow Missourian. You in the Kansas City area? We reside in Liberty.

Mine would be missing Marillion on the Marbles tour or missing them on the This Strange Engine tour while I lived in Milwaukee.

Plans falling through at the last minute and not being able to see Rush down at Kemper Arena on the Signals tour (but got to see and meet them last summer at Verizon Wireless in Bonner Springs).

Eddie Jobson's inability to continue the UK project , nearly 25 years later still dickering around. I do not understand! (And I met him with Roxy Music and talked about Curved Air ! )

missing Osanna AND Battiato in Rome last year 

Seeing Grobschnitt in Burg Herzberg:very boring,very poppy.Small town boy by Jimmy Sommerville was proggier.Guru Guru the same year: where is madness?where is improv/freak out style?

I had a ticket to see Rush in 1983 but couldn't get to the gig.
