What was the loudest concert you ever attended??

Always brings back memories...aaaahhh the good old days ..when I used to be able to hear....what??..what did you say...huh???

For me its a tie between seeing:

1) Deep Purple and Uriah Heep perform on the same bill at a hockey rink that had terrible accoustics ..in the mid-west...

and

2) seeing John McLaughlin & Mahuvishnu Orchestra perform in a movie theater size venue at full outdoor concert volume.

My ears rang for days afterward. Both events.

Anyone else with golden (hearing-aid) memories??

...had to be AC/DC when they broke out the cannons on for those about to rock!

Absolutely.

AC/DC during the Ballbreaker tour. It was billed as the last time they would be around and it was an event. They wouldn't serve alcohol at the concession, but the air was think with cannon smoke and some other skunkish substance. Empty liquor containers in the parking lot may suggest they might as well have let the drinks flow anyway.

Unfortunately I succumbed to my state for about 5 minutes and missed most of 'Rock and Rock ain't noise pollution'.

My favorite band of all-time!! Saw them in a small 2800 seat hall in Pittsburgh, called The Stanley Theatre. It was The Night At The Opera Tour. Feb. 20, 1976

Possibly the best concert I have ever seen. Loud too. But not the loudest.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
