KLF
First and only live gig - 1997. I talked my girlfriend into going to London to see it on HER birthday, knowing it really wasn't her thing. Spent the day wandering around the city, then went to the venue.

Only to discover that because some woman I'd never met had been in a car accident a few days before the whole country was meant to be in mourning, and the gig was cancelled (well postponed, but I'd had to take time off work, and travel to London and all, so for me - cancelled).

I was gutted, and now my wife gets to remind me every year of how she went ON HER BIRTHDAY to see a band that didn't even play.

Maybe just as well, she'd have hated it.

How do you know whether she'd have liked it if you've never been to a gig?

Their grindcore version of "3AM Eternal" with Extreme Noise Terror was charming

Fuck The Millennium, as 2K, made for bewildering television.
I seem to remember my dad loudly voicing his disdain as I watched in awe.
