        I think this is a very important point   
after How Many Chords and bands and melodies is your ear pallet clear and 
objective?

 i know after   2 or 3 bands a night, there are times when diminishing 
returns kicks in   I'd be better off seeing a band by itself or on another night   
to get a real picture of what they sound like
 
And might actually enjoy them more as opposed to the 5th 6th or 7th band of a 
night    
my hearing would be a little more objective
