take your rig out to record a bar band. choose a venue/band that likes it TOO LOUD, where the volume in the place hurts your ears as much or more than a stadium gig (happens all the time!). then try taping that, if you can adjust the levels so that it is not distorting you will be fine for the big shows, if not then get some new mics & try again.
I saw trooper at the hard rock here in toronto a couple years ago and it was louder than Metallica or any stadium show I've ever been to
I mean it was LOUD to the point where I had to stand way way way at the back and couldn't really enjoy the show. if your mics can handle that kind of a show you're good to go.
