Apologies if this has been covered.

I first saw Bon Jovi on the KTF tour. It was an indoor arena and was very loud.

Next up was Wembley Stadium. Not as loud, but it was outside so nothing unusual there.

Saw them again on the TD tour, also outside but this time the volume was noticeably quieter. I was quite high up in the seated section so perhaps that was a factor.

I've since seen them live numerous times on every tour and it's clear the volume has lowered. Why is this? Even some of the support bands are louder than them!

Are there any reasons for this? I do understand the band are older etc but I've been to gigs by older bands who are FAR FAR louder than Bon Jovi. (Judas Priest were painfully loud!)

I've been in the Golden/Diamond circle and at times you can hear people talking while a song is playing.

Any else noticed this and does it bother you?

In addition, who are the loudest band you have seen. Mine were Judas Priest, maybe Saxon and The Scorpions a close second.
