I read that Who concert had peaks at 140dB.

Loudest scream by a crowd indoors is 128.9dB! Guiness Book of World Records.

They say 110dB for rock concerts but that must be sustained levels. I've been to many concerts and it is way more than 110dB peaks. My ears don't shut down with my home system when I hit 110dB peaks. I was at a concert this past New Years and my ears were shutting down with the first song. Then ringing for hours after.
