        Yeah.  I saw them on this tour (1973, I think) at Wolverhampton
Civic.   I was half way down the hall and had my ears ring for
3 days after.  In the car park afterwards, we had to shout at
each other to make ourselves heard.  DP were in the Guinness
book of records as the loudest band in the world.  It would
amaze me if RB wasn't completely deaf by now

Cheers
