LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus

@sejodiren 

There is a club in Vancouver called the Commodore Ballroom thats been around close to 100 years. Small capacity and a dance floor that is spring-loaded.

Saw Rory there, along with Tom Petty's first tour, Roy Buchanan, Buddy Rich, David Byrne, Moby and countless others.

"Motorhead was ridiculously loud"

No kidding.

"They were 1/2 way through November Rain before I even realized what song it was."

I had a similar experience with almost every song at a Bob Dylan concert, but it had nothing to do with the loudness.

I know what you mean about that Who show in Vancouver. I was there.

Was that their 1st, 2nd or 5th farewell tour?

Sorry to hear about your friend. I can certainly understand how it would escalate to that point.

I had a lot of ear aches when I was young and it is the same scenario.

Both are unrelenting and unescapable.

I had a run in with Jack White in Seattle a few years ago.

It was way too loud, but the worst part was his fixation with playing the screechiest guitar notes possible. Fingernails on a blackboard would have seemed melodic by comparison.

"Strangely, I saw Jerry & the Dead back then several times & it was loud but very clear & enjoyable. "

McIntosh powered instead of Marshall powered.

Was lucky to see Rory three times back in the '70's and each one was magic.

Don't remember him being that loud, but there's a long list of things I don't remember from those days.
