     Haven't had these problems at either of the two Bedouin
gigs I'be been at.  But otherwise, I agree.  Loud enough to
kick you in the diaphragm is good; loud enough (and badly mixed
enough that you might as well be standing in a jet engine is
pointless.

     (I apply this test to all musical genres.  I think it's
genetic :)  I inherited a large chunk of my grandfather's
classical LPs, which he always played at stupendous volume :)

Cheers,
Carl
