I find that very loud music spoils it all for me.
When I get around to gigging, I'll make sure the drums don't have to be mic'd up and play everything to that amplitude. I saw Faust last night, with their extreme concerts and bad mood together they started playing a chainsaw against some salvaged metal whilst being mic'd up with someone else playing harsh noise to that volume (not the Faust I know from The Faust Tapes). You can't appreciate music at that volume and the only people that seemed to were smoking their lungs into tarry kippers anyway.
