"Regular concert goers judged that the best sound balance was usually to
be heard from within large concrete bunkers some thirty-seven miles away
from the stage, whilst the musicians themselves played their instruments
by remote control from within a heavily insulated spaceship which stayed
in orbit around the planet - or, more frequently, around a completely
different planet. "

and a fast servo valve? That would be loud.
