Though I'm about three years older than you, Fading Fast, I'm not ashamed to type that I was scared. Maybe a superior sound system might have altered your experience: Not unlike the WHO's once-notorious PAs, there was a warning about getting too close to the auditorium horns and speakers at the CHINESE theater... Jane Fonda is seen near the 1969 Isle of Wight stage where, if I recall reading, there were warnings to keep at least 15' away from the WHO's sound system: It could very well be because I went to a cheap theater - I think it was a $2 matinee special. My mom would give me, I think, $3 for the ticket and snacks and I'd spend the afternoon at this depressing strip mall theater, which, probably didn't install the Sensurround right or didn't rent all the equipments.
I have never heard quite right out of my left ear after seeing Joan Jet and the Blackhearts at a NYC theater in the early '90s where I was close to one of the speaker banks. Great show though. Fading Fast, I should've elaborated by typing that those Jimi Hendrix-related instances, where my damaged left ear's sensitivity to loud music revealed itself, included a screening of Michael Wadleigh's woodstock cut (1994): ok.ru/video/327767362296
