Did that impact how you perceived them moving forward?

When The Black Crows released Shake Your Moneymaker, I REALLY dug them.  I caught them 3 times on that tour.   The third time they opened for ZZ Top and I drove 3 hours back to town to catch them in the middle of vacation.  They were tanked, and it was absolutely awful.  Never saw them again after, and it really impacted how I perceive their music.  The songs stopped sounding as good because they were able to do that to the fans who spent their hard earned money on the performance.
