How Loud is this Gig?

[MisterFingers]

I can hear the Kings of Leon pretty well (particularly the bass and kick) tonight. Thing is they are playing in Bellahouston Park which is about 2.5 miles away from my flat, well across the river and with windows shut. Can't stand the band either, natch.

[JapanAxe]

I can hear them in Swindon, but that's with the windows open

[leschirons]

I can hear them in France, but then I've got the radio on

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

I remember back when Motörhead played Donington ('88?). They played a blinder. We met some people who heard everything in their garden...5 miles away

We could hear Deep Purple play Knebworth from about 5 miles away.

Im about 5 miles fron the Etihad. Stadium , when Robbie Williams and Oasis played there(not together) I heard nothing , thankfully🙉

We played a local recently, and at half time a bloke said we were bloody loud in the loos.

Seriously though, we played an outdoor charity thing during the summer and my sister could hear us in her garden about 2 miles away. It's amazing how sound travels.

I don't know who's playing at V over the weekend. I'll know who's on while I'm at home, though
At least it's raining, though.

Can often hear whats going on at Glastonbury fest if the conditions are right. I'm about 5 miles away, could easily pick out White Stripes set from a few years ago.

Correction, 7.5 miles away from glasto site. Found a distance calc widget on t'interweb. As the crow flies or sound travels!

[MisterFingers]

Well, I can now hear Eminem as I type - bloody hell it's even louder than the KOL. Argh!

phone local council - get them to send EHO's around and pull the plug unless they turn down - seems to be all the rage with local councilcs at the moment

I love living where I do. There are approximately 15 sites within about a 3 mile radius that have outdoor mini festivals every year. Most Friday and Saturday nights in the summer I can sit in my back garden, sipping a beer, and listen to live music.

I get to hear anything from unsigned originals band and pub covers bands(a fair share of tribute bands too) right through to bands you used to love but thought had split up decades ago.

A couple of years ago Tyketto headlined on the Saturday night, and the wind was in just the right direction, that it wouldn't have been much clearer if I'd been sitting in my lounge listening to a live recording.

I've often wondered what some of my less music loving neighbours think of it, but we think it's brilliant.

Oh, and before someone asks why, if I love listening to the local live music so much, why don't I get a ticket and go? That's the plan for next year once the kids are old enough to enjoy it.

I'm sure that local pensioners have been jamming the phone lines as Slim Shady drowns out their TV dramas, but I'm actually intrigued as to what size of line array they must be using over there - 40K? Birds must be dropping dead out the trees.
