Yes, but I have suppressed the memory of it.

There is a significant experience with going to a rock concert, and I
have to say that I've enjoyed the two I've been to. Even if I did
have to wear 20dB earplugs for the second (9th row floor seats at
a Meatloaf concert).
There's just something very impressive about having your entire body
vibrated by music.

I wore earplugs to a Rush concert once and my ears were still ringing
when it was over. I can only think it would have been painful without
the ear protection.

In the last few months, I've become quite addicted to rock
concerts, between They Might Be Giants, Shonen Kinfe (no, you've
never heard of them), and Tori Amos. Tori's concert was
comparatively quiet, but the first two left my ears ringing
until the next day. The most intersting thing is the
atmosphere, being surrounded by a few thousand (or 500, for
SK) other people who are singing/shouting/pogo-ing/moshing/
grooving along with you. Seeing the performers live is good,
too. >8)

When you ears ae ringing, you have already sustained some degree
of permanent hearing damamge. There is quite a bit of "reserve"
already built into human hearing, partiuclarily for speech
intelligibility, so the degree is slight, but it's been done
nevertheless.
Back to opera - yes, Die Fliedermaus was done "somewhat"
recently (I can ask) but long enough ago, COG believes, to
bring it back.
Right now we are just practicing with a cappella madrigals, which
is really neat fun - keeps (or brings) the pipes into shape. I
gently but consistantly resist singing in anything except English,
but we still do some foreign language practicing anyway. It's
not all that bad (unless you actauly know the language).

I like all music. WEll, almost all music. I like opera, barbershop, chorale,
rock, acid, classical music, folk, filk, ...
I even like some country western, but don't spread it around. :-)
I do not like rap. I do not consider it music. It is poetry, not music.

Robh--I've heard of Shonen Knife. Even have some of their Japan-only
release CDs. Definitely not NORMAL music, but hey, the Christmas song is
a modern day classic. :)
