Great piece. I to remember the PM/OC concert that I attended at Yale in New Haven in 199_? that was billed as Project X. The sound was so loud it may be rersponsible for some of my hearing loss, well over 100db. All I came away with was numb and possibly some pointless music.

I am glad you had a chance to go to this concert. I am looking to go to my first Atlanta Symphony concert (ASO) in a few weeks. I need to get back into hearing some live music.

Seems like we had exactly opposite experiences at our respective Metheny/Coleman Song X concerts. Well maybe not exactly opposite since I too had a problem with the volume. It was no where near loud enough up in the balcony so after enough people left we moved to the fifth row and enjoyed the rest of the show at full volume.

Yes it is rather nice to go hear some live music. The week before I went to see another of my favorite piano players Marilyn Crispell and her trio at the Village Vanguard. I was sitting no more than 10 feet from Paul Motian and his drums. Sounded great. In addition to the fact that no stereo sounds as good as live music as an audiophile I get the added bonus of listening to some great sounding music without obsessing over my stereo.
