I've never come out of a concert deaf before, or dead. Close, but not quite there.
Uhh, when I went to see Dream Theater last year I couldn't hear as well as I could for about a day. My ears needed a rest but they're fine now. Same thing when I went to see Tom Petty & when I saw Kansas. Good times *thinks back*...
There are usually two areas in a concert, a seating area and a standing. Standing areas can get kinda crazy at some concerts but the seating area tends to be very tame. But there are sometimes no seating areas and only standing and vice versa. All the concerts I've been to have had a seating area but that's just me.
You should definatly buy tickets for your favorite band sometime, you'll have a blast.
