This got me thinking about Stage Volume Dr. John on Jim Hendrix -I knew the loudness, as well as other things going on, must have fucked with him in some kind of way. He'd come off his set in pain, his ears ringing, his head hurting. I'm sure all that shit took a toll on him. You just can't stand right in front of that kind of volume and not expect to get away without some damage. When he was playing, I'd make sure I was inside a dressing room or a trailer, which was usually way behind the stage - sometimes as far as a half mile - and it still hurt my ears.

Who can benefit from in-ears?  What sort of things does a band need to know when making the plunge?

Anyone who wants to raise their level of performance, save their hearing or is sick of lugging around wedges can benefit from in-ears.  Besides, many venues are requiring the use of in-ears. When making the plunge into in-ears you need to make sure you get the sound you need , that the things fit and are comfortable and that they are reliable.  And, you need to make sure you are working with a company that can support you.  If your in-ears go down (stuff happens), you need a company that recognizes you need these for your next gig and does what is necessary to take care of you.
