The woman can make a roll of paper towels sound like cannon fire.

I wear earplugs to any musical event, indoors, outdoors, movies, all of it. Yeah, my ears are damaged from construction but aside from noisy indoors like restaurants, I get by fine. Movies are in general way too loud. Last IMAX I saw was "Queen." Pretty good movie but my seats were too close and it wouldn't have made any difference sound wise. I could have listened to the whole movie from the the back doors while closed. I had to be stopped up so much that I lost the fidelity. That's a shame for a good movie with excellent singing.
I haven't been to a rock concert in decades. I remember seeing Queen live at Irvine and it was good. Loud but just loud enough. Then I saw Springsteen at the L.A. Coliseum. We left at the encore because of L.A. traffic and I could hear the concert a block away. I think the outside is 200' tall; I can't find a reference. I know the field is 30 feet below street level and that's where the stage was. Fidelity at some place like that is nigh impossible. It seems to be all about the compressions in your chest.
F that.
