This is a question for those old enough to go to gigs when bands had proper amps and stacks. None of this satellite rubbish.
So which gig made you guys the most deaf
Without a doubt my middle age hearing loss is down to some incredibly loud gigs
For me it's a toss up between Mororhead around 80 and Sheffield City Hall and budgie at romeo and juliets Doncaster same year.
If pushed I'd go for the budgie gig
They had stacks everywhere. It was a low roof and budgie had more stacks than people there
Shelly had his vox stack, jt had three marshall stacks. The monitors were bigger than shelly
They came on around 2am and we were pickled. Of course. They kept turning it up.
At the end the whole lot literally blew up on stage. The amps not the band. The flash and explosion wins out over Mororhead.
I was deaf for weeks after.
Please share your noise memories
