The same happened to me during a PT gig, after which I had 3 days hearing probs and I did not enjoy the gig as much as it could have been with minor volume level.

Most of the gigs are just right, they are loud, but you can hear them without your ear gets distorted. But it is a shame, that you get home from some gigs, which from the music side was likewise good, but you get home with the feeling that it was not so good.

Maybe this is the theme for a new thread, but it would be fine to hear your comments about this issue.

That was my beef with Pure Reason Revolution. I do like a loud show however, but not at the expense of hearing clarity and definition.
