Boston to Gauge Stones' Decibel Level 15 minutes ago
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050819/ap_en_mu/music_rolling_stones;_ylt=Av13w9i4YgOqL38QazOeUz9xFb8C;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl
While fans are rocking to the Rolling Stones inside Fenway Park, police officers armed with noise meters will be positioned outside the ballpark Sunday night.
If the noise surpasses 70 decibels on the surrounding streets, Patricia Malone, director of the Mayor's Office of Consumer Affairs and Licensing, will be alerted, and she will tell concert host Clear Channel to turn it down.
It's all part of the city's efforts to minimize the impact of the Fenway concerts — now in their third year — on the neighborhood.
"It's something they've done for the past two concerts, and I've asked them to do it for this concert as well," Malone told The Boston Globe.
She said any major problems would be fixed between Sunday and the second Stones concert on Tuesday night.
The Stones are kicking off their North American tour at Fenway Park. The 93-year-old ballpark had never hosted a concert before Bruce Springsteen played there in the summer of 2003. Jimmy Buffett played two shows at Fenway last September.

If I was one of "Boston's finest", my device would mysteriously have it's batteries missing!
I'll bet they weren't on the streets during the World Series... |

Fox News just reported on this issue a few minutes ago. The Stones media machine is doing overtime! |

How lame is this news?
"The Rolling Stones must be monitored to ensure proper audio levels."
"Excuse me, Mr. Richards. Would you mind turning that guitar down?"
If people around a stadium have a problem with noise, move. Hasn't that ballpark been there for ever?

You clearly have no idea where the Park is located or in what neighborhood it is situated.

I don't have a clue where it is and I could care less about the neighborhood.
It's just strange that a public facility that is designed to hold thousands upon thousands of people and sell as much beer as possible is going to be monitored for sound waves from a rock band. |
