The last time I saw Matthew Sweet (which was quite a long time ago now), he was late coming onto stage, but finally started his set and sounded pretty great! But then he ran off stage after a song or two.
Eventually, he came back and did another couple of songs, and sounded okay! But then he ran off again.
Finally, he came back on and admitted that he was grappling with a nasty case of food poisoning, but that he was going to soldier on regardless.
After the third or fourth time he left to go barf, my friend and I decided that despite our love of Matthew Sweet, we should probably not encourage him to keep going, and quietly slipped out of the venue.
