    Lou Reed years ago in Toronto was by far my loudest. Good show but shockingly loud.

    Out of the hundreds of shows Ive seen the only band that has hurt my ears to the point of them ringing is Big Sugar. Rattle your earwax! lol
    Most bands are loud but it sounds good.Bass that rattles your skin but is clear as day.
    I love Soundgarden seen them 3 times but the show at the QE in Vancouver was the worst sounding concert I have ever been to the next night I saw Manson there and it sounded amazing!
    Some sound techs are certainly better than others.

    This has been brought up before- the brutal Soundgarden show at the QE.

    I hated that show. It had the potential to be wicked, but it was failure... big time.

    To fail at achieving good sound at that venue means you have special aptitude for being useless.

    Yeah as others have mentioned Dinosaur Jr, but he loudest was probably a J Mascis solo show on the Free so Free tour.

    It was the only time i was like damn it i'm doing damage to my ears i wish i had ear plugs.

    was that the tour where Kevin Shields was playing with him?
