I saw Motorhead about 10 years ago with the cheap foam ones and my ears were still ringing the next day. And Lemmy warned us it would be loud. The volume some bands play at is astounding, and foam plugs, full-ear headphones (like the kind Roger Miller used to use when playing for Mission of Burma back in the 80s) and other devices may only be of limited use. I read somewhere that The Who played an outdoor concert in London in the 70s that was so loud fish in a nearby park went belly-up in the ponds they inhabited. I wonder how the kids at that show are faring now, hearing-wise.
