Description:
At the entrance to this show, they gave out ear plugs. This should have been the first warning signal. In addition to the normal club speakers, they had erected an additional set of at least two more speakers. It was REALLY loud. I can't possibly explain how loud it was to do it justice. The opening DJs were so horrible that we stayed outside for most of it. When SWTE came on, the bass was so incredibly loud and strong that it literally made me physically sick from shaking my insides. It was like riding a really psychotic rollercoaster. Eventually I decided I could not physically stand it anymore, and we left. Unfortunate, because I really do like SWTE and I enjoyed the music - it was simply too loud. Perhaps, that makes me too old!
