Unfortunately, "Skipjack K8" has a darn good point. The most obnoxious people in a bar are those that drink the most, and those are the ones the management wants kept happy the most.

Another reason we don't do many bar gigs.

The solution comes down to:

1) Don't do bar gigs if you have a choice.

2) If you don't have a choice, get a sound system capable of doing actual structural damage - one of those with the main volume knob that goes up to 11.
