Were your seats close to the band? I don't really like loud noises, so when there's a live band, I try my best to stay away from the stage, and from the speakers. I think it can be good to set the mood/atmosphere, but if I'm with my friends, my priority is to hear/talk to them.
Not too close but the speakers were spread out all over so it didn't matter where one was sitting.

What's up with the Amirl link?
I have my reasons.
