The loudest concert I remember had to have been My Bloody Valentine at St Andrews Hall in Detroit .. Some of the show was amazing but quite a bit of it was akin to a chainsaw on sheet metal. I read in David Cavanagh's My Magpie Eyes Are Hungry for the Prize book about Creation Records that main MBV guy Kevin Shields had an eerie fascination with pain thresholds to sound and was in a Joseph Mengelev sort of way doing his own experiments with his audiences as guinea pigs.
Speaking of MBV has anyone (who enjoys the so-called shoegaze style of dreampop) heard the Club AC30 comp of neo shoegaze bands (and some original ones like the Ecstacy of Saint Theresa) doing covers of songs by such artists as Chapterhouse,Slowdive,MBV,Swervedriver,Ride,Lush,Telescopes,etc?
It is called Never Lose That Feeling Volume 1 and can be had for around 13.00 from Parasol which is currently having a 15% off sale on every cd in stock:

Douglas Heart who I mentioned here before do a faithful version of Slowdive's Alison and their Labrador labelmates South Ambulance cover Pale Saint's Kinky Love.
