Nonoise's story brought back to me my experience back in 1978 or so, when Deep Purple cracked the ceiling of the Norfolk Scope, an all poured concrete structure. It was so loud I made earplugs out of wads of toilet paper, I was only 16, so that says something. 135db according to what I read about it afterwards, they and Kiss and others were in a competition to be the loudest band in the world, but a few instances like that created a law that no concert is to be over 110db in America. But 110db is still Very loud! And who is really policing that law anyway?
