Back in the mid-80s, I went to one of the first "last tour" concerts  
of The Who. It was at the Lakewood amphitheater pavilion in Atlanta.  
Our seats were about 300 feet from the stage, just 25 feet outside  
the perimeter of the pavilion.

The sound level at our seats was excruciating. I couldn't imagine  
sitting any closer. It would have been painful.
