Led Zeppelin

Writer David Krebs made the case in Rolling Stone that Led Zeppelin’s live performances of “Whole Lotta Love” were the loudest on stage in 1970. But the year before that, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association has already proven Zep’s big sound credibility by measuring a performance of “Heartbreaker” at 130 dB.

Bands always played way too loud, it didn't do much for the musical enjoyment of a concert back then. I was never quite sure why there was always a race to see who was the loudest.

This topic reminds me of all the really cool reviews I read about the Foo Fighter's recent gig here in Auckland. Why? Because that gig was the cause of tremors as reported by two seismic stations in Herne Bay and Eden Park, which were located 2kms away from the concert venue! Sadly, I wasn't at that gig because things came up at the last minute but to say that the Foos rocked the stage, IMHO is a bit of an understatement I should think! B)

Here's an article about it all :

Maybe Gibson should take note of this?! :P:whistling:
