So I'm seeing the Hip live for the very first time in April and I'm very excited to finally see than, but there's one thing that's worrying me. I've read a few reviews of Hip shows from 2013 that complained about the sound being too loud. Like this one:
"The songs were great but the Tragically Hip cranked up the volume way too high for a venue such as the Orpheum. The sound was so loud that many people were holding their hands over the ears and the high volume distorted the lyrics and music. I stayed right to the end of the concert but I noticed a number of people who were holding their hands over their ears end up leaving the theatre and they did not come back."
Are the Hip normally this loud? I know that rock concerts in general tend to be quite loud but are they any louder than the average rock band?
