grand funk railroad at boutwell in early seventies. ears rang for 3 days after that one.
Although I can't find any record of it on the interwebz, I saw Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet and I think .38 Special in Boutwell sometime in 1984 or 1985. We stood within an arm's length of the stage and speakers. I couldn't hear out of my left ear for three days and am sure I sustained permanent damage from that. Even at the back of the auditorium it was one of the loudest places I've ever heard a show.
I saw Molly Hatchett in Pensacola, hands down the loudest concert with Dam Yankees 2nd place. The Damn Yankees opened for Bad Company, who turned it down considerably.
One more of the best show's was Derek Trucks Band and Susan Tedeschi before they married. Alex City Jazzfest.
