LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus

Easy for me.

First was the Outlaws in 1979. Green Grass and High Tides for about 28 minutes and ear piercing volumes. Ears rang for two solid days.

Second was Ian Hunter with Mick Ronson on guitar.  I was on the rail and it was another ear piercing experience. Deafening.

Third, being under the stack in 1989 at Autzen Stadium for the Dead and during drums Mickey’s bar thing was reverberating crazily.  Could feel it in my chest. That was tough.

Honorable mention, any electric Jack White show.  Frankly, Just doesn’t need to be that loud.

I have had tinnitus ever since the 1980’s and now wearing aides.  Paying the price. 

After years of Tinnitus and mountains of research, I found some relief...not a cure...QUIETUM PLUS. I hope it can help someone.

AC/DC 1980 Back in black tour 5 Seasons center

Cedar Rapids Iowa DB peaks was over 140 db 

The cops literally came and shut the show down there 

was so many complaints from the people who lived around 

there.  
was in the 15th row center stage took 2 weeks for my ears 

to stop ringing 

back in the days when i was frequent at knittingfactory NYC, Larval put out BIG dB in relatively small venue! Bill Laswell was there and this dude loves his bass LOUD!

Squeeze/James at Radio City, with (dis)honorable mention to Springsteen at the United Center.  My ENT has tinnitus from being backstage at a Springsteen show.  If he cares so much about his audience, including kids and young adults, then why is it so f@&$ing loud.  Another (dis)honorable mention to every wedding and bar mitzvah I've gone to in the last 20 years!  Since I tried my best to use hearing protection, my tinnitus was very mild until I had a recent sudden hearing loss, unrelated to concert attendance.
