It was my youngest son's (10) first gig and the sound from the first support band was just ear-splitting white noise. Even with ear protectors my son was in tears. And I told him genuinely we could leave. He decided to stick it out a bit with my ear buds under his ear defenders.
Thankfully the second support's sound wasn't as awful, and Ghost had the best sound I've ever heard at the gig. By Ghost's second song he had the ear defenders off and was singing along. And he described it as the best night ever.

anyway won’t be going back for more.
Not the last, but I did too - earplugs weren't enough, it was the crushing pain in my chest from the vibration as well. I went to the bar above the venue where they were still very clearly audible, and the mix was again better...
I left a Roy Harper gig because the mix was so atrocious it was unlistenable - scratchy harsh electro-acoustic guitar and muddy inaudible vocals at the same time. Absolutely pointless.

I also left a Parquet Courts gig as it was just a noisy shambles...
Funnily enough, the most recent gig I went to was Judas Priest again, at Wembley Arena a couple of weeks ago. I didn't have earplugs but this time it wasn't so loud, thankfully.
Friends that have seen him on different tours over the years said he was really good.
