   I've NEVER run IEMs anywhere near full volume...they're too Loud!   
   Maybe at best, a little over half way, since they are effectively amplified   
   earplugs ;)   
   So if stage levels are louder than IEMs at full blast, that's ASSAULT, a   
   CRIME!!!   
      
   > that's pretty much where I am.   
      
   I prefer not to use IEMs because as it came as no surprise to me at all, I   
   can only put up with those things stuck in my ears for just so long AND then   
   ONLY when the sound person is Competent - and for WHAT? Because IDIOTS   
   refuse to turn down? THAT is the Problem!

   Sounds like it it went quick and easy.

   Kind of makes one wonder how they ever managed to be come musicians in the   
   first place.

   It's the Phoniness, Not the not liking of Phoniness, that needs to be grown   
   out of!!!   
      
   > \yeah, right :-)   
      
   Not being able to find Competent musicians is No Excuse for Faking things!

   I'm just being a 'purist' again ;) I believe that Music should be about   
   Music, even though I've seen it mixed with Smutty Sleaze, Comedy, and even   
   Wrestling...so lights are nothing new either...but they're still not Music!

   I think Music sounds better in the  day anyway ;)
