one of the loudest shows I can ever remember was seeing R.E.M. on the
"Reckoning" tour, early summer 1984, at the only stop they made in the
Philly area, in Wildwood, NJ, at the Penalty Box......
anyone who went to high school in the tri-state area probably went to
Wildwood for their Senior Week in HS, I know I did!!!
anyway, openers were the Dream Symdicate, whom I'd seen before in LA,
but this was their "Medicine Show" tour, supporting their first release
on A&M....
I was plunked down in front of one of the speaker coloumns, and man, I
could not hear right for at least a month after that......this was when
guitarist Karl Precoda was still with them, and his bag was a LOT of
feedback and Coltrane-esque noise, so I was hurting after that one!!

Subject: Loud bands ...My Bloody Valentine
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.
