I wish I could remember the name, but it was SO LOUD my eardrums got blasted out and my brain rattled!
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.

Most bands set their own volume, and the volume is set far too high. I believe the reason for this is simple, many band members are nearly deaf. Decades of loud music has ruined their hearing. What might be excruciatingly loud to you and me might sound quite soft to the one making the sound, also most speakers are aimed away from the band. I know the event organizer or person paying the band can “force” them to lower the volume but they will do so kicking and screaming.
