I saw Type-O Negative last October at the Fillmore in San Francisco and
the sound was acceptable.  I used ear plugs anyway; I probably could
have done without, but I guess I'm getting too old to risk my hearing
any more.  ;-(

Best sound: I've seen so many concerts in the last 10 years that it's
too difficult to say, but most of the BOC concerts I saw at medium-sized
venues in the Cleveland area from '90-'94 and every Satriani concert
I've seen are up there.

Loudest: Skinny Puppy on their Last Rights tour at the Agora in
Cleveland.  It was so loud, I can't even begin to describe it.  The
opening band was easily as loud as the loudest concert I had ever seen,
and Skinny Puppy was MUCH louder.  A friend of mine who saw the concert
with me now uses it as a point of reference.  For example, when he saw
Black Sabbath on their Dehumanizer tour, he said "it was Motorhead loud,
but not Skinny Puppy loud".
