Yeah it is scary. I used a hand pump for the longest time after that and took my time and went really slowly. Now I am faster again but it gave me some shellshock.
I should have worn earplugs and now as I get older I just forget them when I go to concerts. Luckily at home I play music at lower volumes and my amp died a while back and so my guitar is acoustic or run through my effects pedal and a set of headphones. In public I turn it up because I want to block out annoying people thinking that everywhere they go is their own private phone booth and they should just have long conversations at normal or high volume and even use speakerphone even when others are around and don't want to here their BS. Grumble grumble!
