If it's too loud, you're too old

Friends Angela and Michael invited me to see Thievery Corporation at the Roseland Theatre. I've been listening to TC for a couple of years and they are great at downtempo loungey electronica with a world flavor. Last night was basically a much louder version of the music on the cds. They put on a lively show which included several percussionists, trumpeters, bongos and a sitar.
They played most of their older, more familiar stuff early on, so when the volume reached ear-splitting levels later in the set I didn't feel too guilty about leaving. Besides, it was almost 10 o'clock, which is WAAAAY past my bedtime.
