I couldn't imagine sitting through that without earplugs.

Maybe it wouldn't have bothered me so much if I knew what I was in for, so I could have prepared with the heavy duty hearing protection. It's kind of screwed up and maybe a little irresponsible to not make a special note. They should at least provide free earplugs. Instead, I ended up leaving the show early, and basically feeling like I just wasted sixty dollars.
