Why do I need LESS volume in the second set?

Most odd. I've noticed that I always need just a touch less volume for the second set!

I'd have thought, given my ears get a pasting during the first, that I'd be needing to turn up? But always when we start the second set, I notch myself down a touch and that's where it stays for the rest of it...weird!

Happens to me on DB. Could it be that as the first set progresses the band gets more confident, animated etc and things just get a bit louder. Coming back on for the second set the band is relaxed and then the whole crescendo thing happens again.

I would just be careful that it isnt the fact that your high frequency hearing is shutting down slightly making you perceive your bass as louder. If thats the case then you should be wearing ear plugs (if your not already).

I'd definitely recommend ear plugs for any loud live music situation. It could be that your ears are getting fatigued, and as has been mentioned, you're losing some of that high frequency perception making you think you need to turn down a bit to balance out the more prominent bass frequencies.
