Too bad we can't repro that with only 51 LFR's... I was already planning the get-together trip.

Then again if Krakatoa was rupturing eardrums 40 miles away we might not want to try to reproduce it face-to-face anyways.

I don't think the 25-30dB reduction from a good set of muffs would be sufficient to make that a pleasant experience. Memorable yes, but not in a good way.

Forget muffs. At 3 feet away, you'd need 9 feet thick concrete to protect you from a 2000 Kpsi blast.

makes me think of HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy - Disaster Area.

https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Disaster_Area

Regular concert goers judged that the best sound balance was usually to be heard from within large concrete bunkers some thirty-seven miles away from the stage, whilst the musicians themselves played their instruments by remote control from within a heavily insulated spaceship which stayed in orbit around the planet - or more frequently around a completely different planet.

Right. Aliens blew krakatoa wide open because that's their idea of music.

After the first two lines, I wanted to ram my skull through my speaker's vortex port.
