Whuddabout that time when Mike Rutherford pulled a 'Joe Cocker'.....ran off the stage barfing his arse off. The band (Genesis) just kept on and finished the show without him. Rutherford claimed it was "the water" in South America. But, we know what it really was |

On Yes' "9012 Live" video during Starship Trooper, on the most beautiful part of the song (just after the short bass solo by Chris Squire and before the line "speak to me of summer...") Tony Kaye played the wrong chord... This one is worse: most of you must Focus' "Live at the Rainbow", well Jan Akkerman is just awful on "Sylvia", he played the song out of tune and and at times sounded like an amateur guitarist. Not his best performance. |

The foook ups are the best part of live performances....the variations, the left and right turns that bring a song back to where it belongs....the mistakes DEFINE a certain live number for dedicated fans. Speaking of DEADICATED....man, the Grateful Dead, especially Bobby Weir, are the most hilarious band when it comes to fooook ups. I don't know how many bootlegs I own where Weir absolutely draws blank on lyrics that he'd written! |

Rush in Rio Geddy's last note on Closer is a bum.  |

still recovering from those RUSH bloops ... thanks 4
sharing, nice ones! i remember hearing a recording from YES' talk tour – admittedly not the safest of eras in the band's life – it was the opening night in binghamton,NY and they totally screwed up the ending of "owner of a lonely heart" of all songs... seriously, we're talking TRAIN WRECK here – remind me to post an mp3 at some point...

Again Marillion. Hogarth starts one of the recurring themes in Marbles
live DVD and sings out of key. He gives a bit of a chuckle, pulls the
band up, taps the note on the piano, gets himself back in key and they
start again. These are great moments in live performance and only add
to the show- makes them human.

There's was a version of "Easy Money" by KING CRIMSON on their 1st disk of "The Great Deceiver" box, where Fripp makes a bizarre noize in the beginning of the song, and Wetton begins to laugh while trying to sing. |

Marillion - Cannibal Surf Babe in Ahoy (Rotterdam), in... was it 1996? That song went completely wrong. You can't blame them though: Ahoy is a very bad place for subtle rockbands.It's impossible to get the sound right, over there. Still bands keep on coming there : I went to see Rainbow, Tears For Fears (twice), Roxy Music, Sting... Ahoy is one of the worst places for a band to play. |

Rush in Rio- Alex slips up in the opening solo in "Trees"
Phish live in Kansas city Trey comes in too soon in one of the middle parts in "Divided Sky" But they both came through in the end |

Not sure what you mean. Are you asking for instances where a normally, technically superior band, f**ks it up?? |

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
