I don't know if it is possible to get the content back from a post I made ?
I then thought was not entirely appropriate to the thread, so I edited it out.
I actually wanted to use it for a completely separate discussion on Pro Audio and volume and SPLs in live situations, with it's ramifications and implications. "How loud is too loud?" or something similar...
BUT ~ I completely forgot to copy and paste the content, I had so carefully sculpted, into another document, oops !
• Is it lost forever, or is there a way to claim it back from the logs
@TTony @digitalscream ?
• And, if so, would it be possible to PM a copy to me please ?
I know you guys are busy behind the scenes keeping everything running so smoothly, but I have meant to ask this question since about one minute after saving the edit !
So I thought I should at least ask.
If not, then no worries, my mistake and my loss. It would still be nice to have that discussion though...
The comment was about being behind the scenes at the Monsters of Rock at Castle Donington in 1988, and getting into the Guiness Book of Records for the loudest sound system, with an amalgamation of the festival's system and Iron Maiden's own. Oops, too many spoiler's
For reference, the comment is (was) here: (back in April 2016 )

More power – is 523kW enough?
'However, ever more powerful amplifiers were used as bands wanted the sound ever louder, and eventually PA systems moved on from the stacks either side of the stage to ‘flown’ arrays, suspended high above the stage and audience – but not before Iron Maiden set the record at Castle Donington in 1988 for the world’s largest PA system.
As the 2000 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records noted, ‘Largest PA system: On Aug 20th 1988 at the Castle Donington “Monsters of Rock” Festival a total of 360 Turbosound cabinets offering a potential 523kW of programme power, formed the largest front-of-house PA. The average Sound Pressure Level at the mixing tower was 118dB, peaking at a maximum of 124 dB during Iron Maiden’s set. It took five days to set up the system.’
So, so many thanks for that
