[kj] OT: Loud Shows

[JStrisino at aol.com]

I saw The Who a few times in the 70s. The Granby Hall show of 1975 when I  
was a young teenager sticks in the memory as being deafening. Rumour at the time 
 suggested the rumble set of the seismograph in Birmingham! Probably untrue, 
but  it felt like an earthquake! The Charlton show of 76 (which I attended) 
spent a  few years in the Guinness Book of Records with a registered reading of 
120  decibels at 50 meters from the front of the stage: and Who shows were 
very long  too!
 
Killing Joke at Warwick University in 1985 was particularly loud as were  
their Birmingham Institute gigs of 90/91 (?).
 
There have been many others, too numerous to mention, that have contributed  
to my deteriorating hearing!
