Agree whole heartedly with the drummer-driving-the-sound-level phenomenom. We had a drummer who couldn't play to the room and got childish when asked to bring the level down. We subsequently got disinvited to some regular gigs. I loved the guy but he was impossible to play with unless it was a large outdoor venue.
As a bass player who kinda runs sound I was frequently told the sound was well balanced but too loud. You can guess why.

I have been to concerts with multiple performers who each had their own sound person. Given they all used the same sound system on the same stage, the range in quality and quantity of the sound could be stunning. One of the best sounding shows I have been to was Steely Dan outdoors at the state fair. Not an ideal setting by any means but the sound was amazing. A good sound person is worth their weight in beer and nachos!

Hahahahahahahahaha!
My first experience with great sound in a not-audio-friendly venue was in the Brown County Arena in Green Bay, Wisconsin, way back in the 1970s, when I heard "The Carpenters". Seriously folks, it was damn near like a record. That sound engineering crew had it figured out.
