I saw Leslie and Alvin Lee on a double bill at the Palladium in NYC in the 80's. Alas both have now gone on to the biggest stage.

At Morris County College circa 1972. I worked with a sound guy. His 'demo' was to put up a lit match in front of one of the sectoral horns, and watch the music blow the match out.

Yes, my hearing is still good.

Mine is not. Years of playing in a band without hearing protection. Not as as bad as Pete Townsend but still not good.

Sorry to hear that. I was in a band for a few years in HS and college, but nothing with volume levels like that.
