Seriously, not sure who sets the volume on those speakers, but for sure that band was way over the safety level. There weren't too many people there, probably because of the volume. I know we're all old but it was bad, feel sorry for those who danced there.
It was way over a safe level for sure.

Wasn't it pretty cold that night, as well?
Sound levels are typically set when expecting a large crowd of people, as the bodies will absorb much of the sound waves. And empty venue with the same levels will sound much louder.
That said, a good sound guy should adjust the levels for the room (square)...
