Jim, I totally relate to this... 'loud' 'thundering' and 'absurd' could/should have been increments on 70's / 80s PA main fader. Like Brad said, in a comment somewhere around here, Marc Bolan's Les Paul was turned up to '48', which I think is only about "Spinal Tap" 10.5, so your Aerosmith concert wins...

Mercy. Good luck on your road back....my bro and Dad both had kidney stones, so I'm hoping that's a discomfort I can sidestep! Thanks so much, Jim, for your allegiance and support to the cause! Hydrate!😉
Good point, the acoustics. My T. Rex concert was at the Houston Music Hall, a fairly small theatre-like set-up (as opposed to the cavernous Coliseum that was right next door)...I forget the capacity. It's possible that the much larger Coliseum might've swallowed up some of the din, but, as you mentioned, in that space, it would probably just become a mix-master of a noise bowl!

I suppose the acoustics of any particular venue matters, too.
If the sound is bouncing off circular walls as in a typical arena, then all tonality turns into a mishmash of sonic dissonance.
I think my rock and roll days contributed to my 24/7 case of Tinnitus. (But damn, I still love it).
Tinnitus — always dreaming of silence
What do I have in common with Rick Beato, Van Gogh, and Homer Simpson?

Good read. At the end of the day, there's no real cure for Tinnitus. I've learned to live with it.
Now, the kidney stone I had removed yesterday ... a whole other matter. Yeeish!
