I haven't had volume issues at concerts or movies in several years...but I always take earplugs! Silicone swimmers plugs for non-music events like F1 races and musician's plugs for concerts with either my -15dB or -25dB filters in place depending on where I'm going.
Funny, I had read on various forums that Steven Wilson shows are "ridiculously" loud so I took my -25dB plugs only to the show last year in Hamilton, ON - I measured the average volume from time to time at around 110dB which is nowhere near ridiuclously loud. I could have got away with my -15s for sure. And it was crystal clear sound, not distorted beyond the system's capabilities.
If the video for the Soundgarden gig was really good, I'm surprised you wouldn't buy the discs so you could watch them at home properly sync'd up with the real 5.1 track mixed from the 48+ track multis and at a volume under your control. At $14.99 right now on Amazon, seems like a no brainer! I can't wait for the disc, but WTF with it still not being available to order on Amazon CA yet?
