I'm a grouchy old git. I guess most of you knew this already. But now I have new proof. Jamie and I went to a Strokes concert on Tuesday night at UCSD, and it was intolerably loud.

I agree with Pizza Pang about the earplugs. I'll also note, that while I haven't heard tons of the Eagles of Death Metal, the songs I have heard were enjoyable, and I think we both know how I feel about the Strokes (though my love has faded a bit, it's still there). So yeah, bring earplugs, then maybe you'll like it.

Also, seeing smaller bands in smaller venues is also a good choice for lower volume (sometimes, but not always).

Whatever you do, avoid the Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza.
