I asked this question over at HP and thought it would be fun here too.

My hubby and I recently rocked it hard at a totally kick a$$ awesome Tool concert. So, I ask you,

What's the loudest, wildest, most insane concert you've ever been to?

Glad you had a good time Jenni.

So much insanity, so little space .

I have been to a lot of loud, insane shows. One of the loudest ever was Ted Nugent back in the late 70’s . I touched on this show in another thread last week, but it deserves mentioning again.

A friend and I scalped tickets to Ted Nugent’s “Weekend Warriors” tour. They were second row to the right of the stage. We worried all day (Bought them in the early afternoon) if they were counterfeit but they weren’t.

The warm up band was AC/DC with Bonn Scott . Our seats were about 10’ in front of the massive stack of speakers. They were LOUD and when Bonn Scott put Angus Young on his shoulders and ran through the crowd I had my hands up when Angus whipped the guitar around and somehow my hand got between the strings and when he pulled it back (hard) it put a nice slice in my hand .

When Ted Nugent came on it was even louder! He put on a fantastic show and literally tore the house down. During his epic “ Stranglehold ” Ted was covered in sweat (it was summer) and standing about 6’ – 10’ in front of me. He ran a pick up the guitar neck and then flipped his arm out and it felt like someone spit hit me right between the eyes .

I reached up to wipe off the offending spit and found a guitar pick stuck to my forehead. It was really cool and I still have it .

I could not hear normal for a few days afterwards. After the show there was a mini “riot” as the folks on the floor stacked all the chairs into a huge pile and were throwing matches onto it as security chased them around. (And no, I was not involved in that )

The most insanely dangerous concert I ever attended was a Bad Company show at the Nassau Coliseum, more on that later,,, .

Been to SOOOOO many..some of the early Aerosmith concerts were LOUD--especially sitting in the first few rows..Van Halen shows always kinda insane..Springsteen shows really rocking ones...there are tons more!

My ears are still ringing from the fourth row of Deep Purple in 1974, at that time the loudest band in the world.

I was in the 8th grade, and seeing the hottest high school girl in my neighborhood having sex nearby was quite an eye opener as well!
