I remember it ...it was at the Fillmore East, we were six or seven rows back of center, and the band was Poco. Amplified pedal steel guitar, and my ears are still ringing.
It's all good though.

Look up “Natural tinnitus remedies” on your web browser. There’s a couple that look pretty good. Herbals take awhile to see results....but it’s worth a shot.

No tears from this near-Boomer, who never cared much for hard rock and resented the “space” it took up among people of my generation and slightly older.

I’m sure machinery noise took a toll for sure. Check the web for natural remedies. It might be worth a shot. :)

Spirit was greatRandy California was one of the great underrated lead guitarists of the era. His lead work on "I've Got a Line on You" was first rate, one of my favorites.

The same with this generation of boom box, bass-thumping rappers.
A few days ago at an apartment complex in Eagan, MN, car alarms were going off in the parking garage. Kids in a “ricer” car with some awful subwoofer were making everything around vibrate. And that’s with the windows up!
My next door neighbor is just as bad, some evenings were painful - in addition to getting no sleep. Police here will do nothing. I finally got him to stop with some death metal, speakers facing the wall (I was wearing the hearing protection for that stunt).
BTW, just had a hearing test, still topping out at 22kHz - at 52 years. Then again I don’t usually get abuse with the decibels.

USS Ticonderoga; As the jap planes approached, first the 40mm guns opened up and then the 20mm guns and the steam turbines and other machinery. We are all deaf now. Then our kids played that rock music.

Tube amps! Cool!
Although not tubes, I stll own a 200W Dynaco power amp and a Crown pre amp. And they will make some noise.

Randy California was one of the great underrated lead guitarists of the era. I got to see the original band live at a small venue in suburban Chicago back in the mid 80s. Man they were good.
"12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus" is one of those rock gems that doesn't get nearly enough airplay.
I'm gonna have to pick it up. I can't believe I don't already have it.
