Attending concerts v1.01

I'll be sitting in the middle of the entire amphitheater at the Los Angeles show for Gigantour. I'm thinking that I will get great acoustics, but I've never been to that theater before and of course this is my first real concert.

I'll take a pair of earplugs just in case. I hope I can hear well regardless, and see well! lol

I like to get up close, but it's not always the best sound. One of the last concerts I was at was Andrew WK - DEAFENING near the back, but up front the house speakers weren't hitting you as much, and it was perfect volume with no earplugs. How convenient is that?

I am going to see Rhapsody at BB Kings on the 19th of June. I hope they are not too loud as I would like to hear the other instruments clearly.

I saw them at House of Blues in Cleveland (First date in America!... I love saying that), and the sound was amazing! Every thing was clear - the guitars cut out for like 30 seconds in one song, but it was fixed quickly. Not overly loud either. That was the best sound at a show I've been at besides the second time I saw Children of Bodom - right up front and everything could be picked out in perfect clarity.

I'd advise you guys to wear ear plugs if you see SX in the near future. I think they're the loudest band I've seen besides Sabbath, and at points it turns into unintelligible noise because of it.

THe show was nice but after I had a ringing in my ear for the rest of the night. I doubt the same effect will occur in an open arena, such as PNC center.

No ringing after arena shows? Tell Rush's sound guys that. My ears rang for almost two days! I'm totally going to wear ear plugs from now on.

But you can get away with a few concerts without plugs. Live a little.

I also have tinnitus. When it's quiet and constantly hear a buzzing noise. When I go to sleep I have to have some music playing in the background or else I can't sleep because of my ringing ears. For the love of god, wear earplugs.
