Very true. People always forget that a live symphony orchestra playing FF or more is plain old loud. A trumpet and trombone with a drum set is loud. I remember going in to a Count Basie Big Band concert in a fairly small club. They had three trumpets, three trombones, five saxes, drums, etc. It was *really loud*.
