try to imagine riding inside the engine of a 747 during takeoff for 18 minutes or so and you might start to get the picture. this show could literally be heard from *down the block*

we've gone from "shoegazing" to "earbleeding"?

[clobby]

you have no idea.

[hypnotyza]

i'm sure i don't.

i'll drink (a pan-galactic gargle blaster) to that.

This is a tradition going back to the early 90s. They always play "You Made Me Realize" with the 'Jet Takeoff' freakout in the middle, and they sometimes stretch it as long as 15 minutes. Wear earplugs and enjoy the body rush.

already did, last night...and it was definitely longer than 15 mins. i feel very bad for people that didn't wear earplugs (for the entire show, actually.)

reports on the ATP weekend show were reporting over 130db from the mixing board (or so i've read) and last night's show was reportedly "twice as loud" as monday's show. it was unreal and unrelenting.

at varying moments during it i felt washes of my bowels quaking, my teeth buzzing, my nose vibrating and at one point, small ribbons of light appearing that totally weren't there. and apart from a little green an hour or so previous, i was totally sober.
