No he left Yes because he decided to become a musician

I agree completely. I wish it was easier to even the sound out by putting speakers around the audience but there is delay and other factors involved, making it extremely difficult to.
Personally I don't like that rumbling of the diaphragm due to the music, It makes me want to leave most of the time. I always wear ear protection, but often times the sound waves just don't make me feel good when played that loud. I had the unfortunate first rock concert experience of seeing Dream Theater in which half of the first set I did not have earplugs. The sound was distorting in my ears, it was terrible. I can't imagine people that don't wear hearing protection. When I saw Rush this summer my ears rung for a few hours after the concert with hearing protection.
I think the best story was when I heard my friend say that he was at a drum clinic and the band handed out earplugs. What I don't get is while that is a great idea, why don't they just turn it down?

BECAUSE DRUMS ARE F**KING LOUD AND DON'T HAVE KNOBS ON THEM.

While my Yes and Tool shows were not that annoyingly loud, the Florida '06 Flower King show (and that mediocre opening band that played for like 80 minutes) played WAY TOO LOUD, even on songs like End on a High Note, What if God is alone, etc.
I'm getting hearing protection next time.

"Rock" concerts are always way too loud, bad sounding, and most people seem to stand it. I don't know how they do.

I've been to several concerts and they are a little bit too loud in average, but not in the painful way luckily. I always bring ear protection with me though, just in case.

They're loud, which is good, but dynamics are pulled off very well.

Uhh I've only been to two shows (both Porcupine Tree) and the second was pretty loud, and it affected the sound of the music. I couldn't always determine what was being played, especially on two of the three encore songs (Halo and Mother and Child Divided, especially this one). But I won't vote because I need to go to more concerts....
