OK, here is my take on it.
70 minutes is NOT LONG ENOUGH.
I get outrageously upset when a band I love plays such a short show when they are the headliners.
Bruce Springsteen will play 3-4 hour shows.
I have seen 2 hour sonic youth shows
I have seen many 3 hour Phish shows
The White Stripes have enough killer material for 2 hours.
HOWEVER
you do not know if they were ill that night, or if there were circumstances beyond their control. The story you heard was second-hand, and may be totally false.
I understand your anger though. I too feel cheated when a band play such a short set.
