without a doubt, uncle ted at reunion arena, dallas texas. sat on 3rd row. couldn't tell you what the the first 3 songs were. michael schenker opened. it was incredible.

I was wondering when the Nuge would get mentioned again, after I mentioned him.

At school the next day I could barely hear.

zontar, i'm being serious here. we were looking around at other folks wondering if our ears had exploded. i wasn't hearing music. it was just a huge wall of noise. scared me somewhat but after a few tunes i guess my ears got numb. never been close to anything that loud since and i do construction and farm work. still love uncle teddy.

the loudest for me was aerosmith 1994. after the show i had a little rustle in my ears and all ok on next day.

cheers

Hendrix, Mountain & Pink Floyd

Actually I think the loudest wasn't Nugent like I posted before--but Disaster Area.

you can save the world with your guitar one love song at a time it's just better, more fun, easier with a fender solid body electric guitar or electric bass guitar.

i went to see motorhead at a gig indoors and they asked if they were loud eough after one song (they were pretty loud already), the majority of the audience said no, I couldnt hear anything really afterwards, not even my mrs stood next to me. The next day my hearing started to come back. I wasn't next to the speakers either, was some way away from them :S

Of course small club venues will be louder simply because of the small space... So I will give you my loudest small venue and loudest large venue...

small : Suicidal Tendencies at the 930 club in Washington DC 1985. Very small club with multiple Marshall Stacks... Ouch...
large : ACDC Capital Center For those about to rock tour (84 I think?), Yes that was the first tour with the cannons... And boy did the crowd like those booms...

i think AC/DC has been mentioned in almost every other post so far.....

Nugent, AC/DC, Pearl Jam, all were booming but the loudest by far was a band from my home town, originally Loudermilk and became Gosling, toured with Velvet Revolver among others. It was in a local arena, had to leave to save my ears, and my kids.

I saw Suicidal on the Lights Camera Revolution tour with MOD as support. That was a fantastic gig.

On venue size it doesnt really come into it as decibels are a measure of sound pressure. You will acheive more db's with less watts in a small club than you will a big venue. Its all on db's though, not watts.
