Today, halls in (german) are only allowed to have 100 dB sound pressure. If you're at a concert, stand next to the mixer if possible. There you'll see a dB meter to check the sound pressure.Yes Sir indeed - what a great band! I saw them in Stockholm in June -89 with the Street Fighting Years tour! Ground shaking bass, I tell you!!

Avantage at the mixer mostly the best sound

My loudest(best) conzert ever, shortly before my blood runs out of my ear.Hi Stephan,
Yea it’s too pitty they have lower the level at concerts. I prefere the OZZY 140dB approach where the stuff in the roof is falling down due to the sound preasure… Then NO ONE is left untouched … MOOHAHAHA.. !!!!
( a part of me is kidding, but for most part I’m dead serious!! )

Hi facten,I saw Simple Minds at Jones Beach (on Long Island NY ) in August 1985 , they opened for the Pretenders - both were great shows!
Cool heavy sound… I like them a lot! No bull, just heavy heavy metal! Yea this kind of music needs to be felt, not just heard☝!! My loudest show, with no one near close, is ofcourse AC/DC in Gothenburg 24 of June 2001. Not the most bass preasure, but loudest without a doubt!My loudest(best) conzert ever, shortly before my blood runs out of my ear.
Such a great tour manowar rulez the world.View attachment 136005
