Rocking 'Stones' Rattle Neighbors

Nov. 16 - KGO (KGO) -- Technicians piped down the volume somewhat for Tuesday night's Rolling Stones concert at SBC Park, but some angry neighbors say Mick's voice was still too loud.

Complaints first came in from the Potrero Hill, Bernal Heights, and even Noe Valley neighborhoods after Sunday's show. There were more complaints Tuesday night.

While concertgoers don't understand what all the fuss is all about, some residents say the music is a real nuisance.

Peter Rudolfi, San Francisco resident: "I'd say it's about five-percent better, but I still find it offensive and objectionable."

Kepa Askenasy, San Francisco resident: "I'm having a hard time even thinking. Can you hear that? It's actually really picking up."

Susan Gold, Rolling Stones fan: "I think they should be grateful. We paid $180 a seat and they're hearing the Stones for free."

Some residents want concerts at SBC Park stopped immediately. City officials say they will try to find a compromise agreement at a future meeting of the city's entertainment commission.
