Perhaps it is mostly just dependant on the venue and their regulations. Or maybe I've spent too many years listening to and playing rock music, but I'm sticking to my guns - they are not as loud as they once were!

I think they just want to achieve a good sound, one that's not totally distorted due to high(er) volume.
But yeah, it's not constantly the same volume. I went to 2 concerts in Germany 2011: Dresden and Munich. Dresden had the perfect sound and volume for me, but yeah, you could hear people in front of you talking (why the f*ck would they do that anyways is beyond me). Munich was louder, but you could only hear a "clear" sound with ear protection, otherwise it would sound distorted...
Loudest I've ever seen was The Offspring in a club in Hamburg in the 90s. Had my ears ringing for 4 weeks after the concert, and that was after I (and some other folks) had their fingers in their ears for the whole concert!
