I remember it well too. Perfect Strangers tour in '85. My ears were ringing for a month. That was a killer concert, my first. Next one was Dio shortly after. Dokken opened up for Dio, that was a show.I actually was up against the stage and heard Blackmore's stage volume. This was at the first two Rainbow shows in the US, they played on Long Island and NYC.
I never forgot the volume. Only guy I heard w/ same stage volume was Robin Trower. Again, right up against the stage.
Those were not TGP volumes.
Must have been Taco night.Third loudest. My second loudest show was your Mom. First loudest show was your Dad
Taco Tuesday, a day late and a dollar short.Must have been Taco night.
How's life post liquification?When I had a small warehouse space for storage I had a couple chances super late at night to run two Custom 100 full stacks cranked to max and slammed the inputs with a cranked Treble Booster, a couple different fuzz pedals, and a Soldano SLO Pedal. The signal was split stereo with my Fulltone Tape Echo. I had a Friedman 412/15 paired with a JCM 800 Bass cab on one side, and a Bogner 412B and Electric Amps 412 on rhe other side.
Yes, judging by modern "art".Do painters splash acetone in their eyes on purpose?
Every component in the modern PA system has been digitized as well. The board, the FX, the line array. The power amps are also one rack class D a lot of the time instead of the behemoth power amps of old. Not to mention the LEDs and digitally controlled lighting making everything feel colder. As someone who was working live sound before and after the changeover, I think live concerts have lost a lot of sound quality in the pursuit of convenience and lighter load ins. Those old PA systems had PUNCH and detail for days.That's why concert sound is so sterile these days. Guys playing their digital units thru the PA. No volume, no excitement. Just fucking sheep holding their phones up.
So glad I saw so many great shows 70's- 2000's, and they were loud. In the clubs too. Not this neutered sound of digital cartoons.
Not even joking, I had to stand around 20 ft away and off to the the side or it was like getting minor vertigo. I started feeling woozy and shit.How's life post liquification?
I bet. But, if I recall, back in the day, Deep Purple was in the Guiness Book of Records for loudest concert. They were using 10,000 watt PA systems. Then, The Who passed them up.Seen alot of bands through the '70's. Nugent was the loudest I recall in '77.
