It didn't really feel that loud. Toms were the hottest thing in the mix, yet the snare sounded like it was muted. I say that because I was close enough to faintly make out the snare acoustically from the actual drum kit. Kick drum was in the PA but fairly low in the mix. The mix had no balls at all, just toms and guitars.
Kicker was the vocals. Mostly noticeable in Paul Stanley's vocals (only from the main stage, the auxiliary stage vocal mic seemed fine) there was audible distortion.
The opening band sounded much better, although also not great. At least the drums were mixed reasonably.
