Radiohead? Was it really that bad?
Yes. That was their first tour in France I think. Nothing compared to the ones we know now...

its all about the moshpit
the first time my ex saw new order (we hit it off because of our mutual love for the band) was with me in glasgow. we had a great time, so i think you should add a caveat to your statement:
going with a girlfriend (or boyfriend *ahem*) to see new order is a big mistake UNLESS they are as into the band as you are!
The Point, Dublin, 1993.
The Hothouse Flowers came on after headliners NewOrder.
Me, my mate and about 3000 others didn't hang around 
i walked out on sonic youth back in '99
got caught sawing logs at a radiohead show. (it was one of the few gigs they did in support of "Kid A" man, did i get a talkin' to from the ex for that one)
walked outta a tori lame-os show when me and the ex (she wanted to see her again for the 7th time) got into a nasty row
walked out on the yeah yeah yeahs because they could get through one tune properly
walked out on sigur-ros because if you've seen an icelandic contra tenor bow a guitar once, it is about half as stimulating when he does it again.
was forced to walk outta two pinback shows (local boys) before they started doing much on a national level. the ex was pissed off about something and didn't give two fucks about them. now she has become super-fan and swears that she never went to see them when they had started.
walked out on a few album leaf gigs too, but that is only because i've seen jimmy and the boys do their thing more than i can count on my hands. its gotten to the point where it is just fun to grab a beer and heckle them...

Sigur Ros is charging $50 a ticket here in Nor-Cal. WTF?
I don't think so! 
Somehow I ended up in the cinems seeing Austin Powers 2 with my granny - we got out of there thefore the rocket launching sequence at the end, thank god.
I don't think i've ever walked out of a gig early.
It really bugs me when people leave a football game early to get a five minute start on the traffic. Serves em right when their team scores in the last minutes.

I bet nothing in footie OR music comes close to the red exodus at Hockenheim as soon as Schumacher retires.....it's like the bull run in Pamplona.
Mates of mine were at the "trip to tip" one year and went to see The Orb, of course they arrived at the main stage 5 mins into the Orb's set. Some teeny bopper band had been on before them, and my mates reported being trmapled by people RUNNING the other way as they tried to get in....eventually the place was 1/5 full of hammered fuckers and everyone else had legged it (tho considering the safe distance from an Orb gig is about 2 miles I doubt they really escaped)
At Reading 98 after the New Order set, we left the main stage just as Garbage were coming on to go and see Spiritualized... Wish we hadn't bothered really, as Spiritualized were so far up their own arses, the experience was painful - should have endured Garbage instead! :p

it was cool when my buddy's band, the album leaf, were openning for them... but like i say, once you've seen it once, it is less impressive the second time around. those dudes love their hair metal, though...
where in norcal do you live? bay area? central valley? redwoods?

at least they were still on drugs... none of this "amazing grace" junk...
"ladies and gents" is still on my all time favorite albums list.

CITIES IN THE PARK,Heaton Park.I'd seen Electronic,Revenge,808 State and Durutti Column.But when the last band..err...Happy Mondays came on,I left after two songs.Shame really,I quite like a lot of their stuff now,but at the time,I only liked them for their remixes..
Ya mad bastard! That was the second best Mondays gig ever, Elland Road being Numero Uno. I had the pleasure of being at both.....so I am not biased in any way ;)
Have walked out on Blue Monday once or twice in the past, they were for quick getaways, I remember taking Baldrick to his first gig at Brixton in 2001, me, John and Lorraine were ready to leave once it came on, but Baldrick wouldnae move - he HAD to hear it. Bless im.

hrm... the email function 'round these parts is currently giving me the finger. shoot me an email [ilovemixtapes (at) gmail (dot) com] and lemme know when yer coming. i'll kick you back with some ideas.
I walked out of a Placebo concert in Brixton a few years back, not normally my type of thing but I was persuaded to go so on hearing a few songs I then had to persuade them that the bar in the high street was a much better option.

I kinda like Shirley Manson's voice on the Garbage songs...! I would have endured it.
