Here are the rules. Test your memory and your love of live music by listing 50 artists or bands (or as many as you can remember) you've seen in concert. List the first 50 acts that come into your head. Oh, and number 1 should be the first act you ever saw (you can remember that, can’t you)? If you haven't seen that many, you can cut it down to 20 or 30.

Too many to list but I can tell you the loudest were AC/DC and Ted Nugent. In the size of the building I saw The Motor City Madman in it was the loudest concert I have EVER seen. AC/DC was very-very loud but was in a huge building. Ted had his amps cranked to the max. As a matter of fact, the concert was delayed over an argument between the building owners and Ted over a maximum allowable decibel rating. Obviously Ted won and it was RIPPING LOUD!!!!!! My ears were ringing for at least a day afterward. When he plays he claims all the buffalo go sterile within a 100 mile radius. Not quite that bad as it is a joke but pretty close! LOL
Crowbar, Lighthouse, Alice Cooper, FM, The Flowerin Traveling Band, Gino Vanelli, Yes, Goddo, Men at Work, INXS, Harry Chapin, The Everly Brothers, Billy Joel, Rush, Steppenwolf, Chilliwack, April Wine, Tom Cochrane, Yes (again), Burton Cummings, J Geils Band, Sammy Hagar, Genesis, The Who, Queen (the best) Styx, Supertramp, Led Zep, Eddie Money, Little River Band, The Eagles, Jethro Tull, Frank Zappa, Boston, Paul McCartney, Steve Miller.

Gotta agree with Axle. Seen Ted Nugent in the mid-70's in a small venue SRO right up close to the stage. I knew something was up when Ted and the band took the stage and were stuffing cotton in their ears.My ears were ringing for two days.Other bands i remember seeing mostly in the late 60's and 70's in no particular order: Elvis,Rare Earth, Freddie King,Tower of Power, The Doobie Brothers,ELO,Led Zepplin, Jethro Tull, Willie Nelson,David Allen Coe and Charlie Daniels, Johnny and Edger Winters, ZZ Top.

Not only was it loud, he put on a great stage show complete with flaming arrows shot out of his compound bow right on stage. Sandbags with AR-15's and the whole nine yards! LOL Don't go if you are skiddish is all I can say! LOL BADAZZ!!!!!
So far I see some of you have seens bands on my wish list or time machine wish list. Such as.
Elvis, Tower of Power, The Doobie Brothers, ELO, Led Zepplin, Yes, Goddo, Men at Work, INXS, Rush, The Who, Little River Band, The Eagles, Frank Zappa, Boston.
BTW I actually forgot to add Paul McCartney and Kelly Clarkson to my list, how could I forget?
I've literally been to thousands of concerts mostly because I worked for a concert promoter that did both indoor and outdoor venues. The bast part of that gig was not having to pay. Then there were the concerts put on by other promoters that I paid for.
I used to occasionally get to plug-in my Nakamichi reel-to-reel tape machine directly to the soundboard and get my own personal bootlegs.
I have seen Ted Nugent a few times and he was loud, but the loudest band I ever witnessed was The Kinks.
Here's a bootleg I recorded at the Fillmore of Quicksilver Messenger Service in 1967 direct from the soundboard....
