It was a very noisy gig and it took about a day for my hearing to return to its normal levels...



Man, I hear you (no pun intended). A few years ago I went to see Nik Turner at a tiny venue in Brooklyn - St. Vitus - and the sound was so fucking loud I couldn't hardly hear for days and was actually slurring my speech like a stroke victim. I'm not joking. My wife and I freaked out. I went to the doctor the next day to see what happened, but I don't seem to remember a word he said, likely 'cause I couldn't bloody hear him! Ever since I've been using ear plugs at gigs - much to the chagrin of my younger self, I'm sure. But most importantly, the band sounded like shit at that volume - just excruciating white noise with Nik's sax as an instrument of torture. To paraphrase Iggy, No Fun!

Anyway, glad you enjoyed the gig regardless! Sounds like a great place to see 'em. I hope I'll be so lucky someday...and when I do I'll be sure to stuff my ears.
