But I think the loudest ever was Blue Cheer in the 60's in a small club in Chicago. I had the honor of being lifted on stage, right in front of an amp. At the time I was ecstatic, I believe my hearing loss started then.
____ thats a good one... i'd have liked to have been there, it had to be nuts.

The loudest band was playing at my friend Larry's bar mitzvah in 1970.
After "Hava Negilah," we felt like our ears were bleeding!

The John Entwistle Band, playing in a tiny club in 1998. I stood about eight feet from John's massive bass rig, which he dubbed "Little Manhattan" because it resembled several skyscrapers. My ears rang for 72 hours afterwards.
Second place goes to the recently reunited Cactus, whom I saw in the very same club in 2007. So loud it hurt. Ears rang for 48 hours afterwards.
