what bugs me much worse than no soundcheck is after the show ,
the clubs patrons are gone yet to barbacks blast the house PA
at full tilt with thier favorite "music" for just the three of
them to "enjoy" George
Earplugs George, I use the westone so I can still converse when I
need to. Saved me many times. But nothing like blasting tunes
after the gig, geez.

I got the plugs and they help but it is just a rude way to end the
night G

I think it's rather rude myself. AFter I've been bombarded with loud
I'd like to be able to communicate with people while I'm packing up
and loading the truck. I also like to listen to as close to silence
as I can get to let my ears recover a bit thank you very much.

I hear ya. I got a new cd player w/ mp3 in the van and I barely turn it on.
Maybe a little talk radio after a while if it's a longer drive just to keep
me alert. But silence after the gig is real important.
