Okay, this is getting way off topic, but the two loudest bands I have ever seen were Television (Winterland, as backup on Peter Gabriel's first tour) and, of all people, the Grateful Dead (also Winterland, 1978 or 9).

Even louder than ZZ Top in the 70s?Originally Posted by Sturgeon's Lawyer
I saw Mingo Lewis at Winterland in 1977. He played in a fusion band. It was furious.
Wouldn't know, I've never seen ZZ Top.
Thinking about it, the most "too loud for the house" band I've ever seen was ... Al Yankovic. I saw him on his Ridiculously Self-Indulgent Etc. tour, and the sound was painfully loud: a pity, as the band is extraordinary, playing more styles in an evening (and playing them well) than most bands will play in their entire career.

The loudest I remember was Johnny Winter And ( Rick Derringer, Randy Jo Hobbs and Bobby Caldwell) Jaunuary 1971 in Copenhagen.
I was 13 - Unbearably loud!
Novelty punks at best...a joke band really.
Music critique on AXS, “The Ramones started as a live band in 1974”. They didn’t record an album until 76. “The Ramones we’re the first Punk rock band and one of the best rock bands”. “The Ramones we’re very rehearsed and tight”. Lot of bands played what in hind sight could be called Punk rock songs, but the Ramones were consistent and defined a genre.
10 UK Singles from 1966-67 that Pioneered Punk Rock

Mitch Mitchell, van Morrison, Steve Howe, Bowie a.o. are there
Not saying these guys were the first, but judging from this newsreel they had punk sensibility!

Maybe The Monks from 1966. Singer's monologue is pretty punk, certainly for that year.

I go, and come back, like memories and symptoms.
I go, and come back, forever, evermore.
Part of me remains abandoned in a circle.
Part of me moves on.
