A short look at the Wall of Sound.  Mostly stuff that's been posted here before, but in a nice compact video.

Nice!

It leaves out a lot of innovation both pre- and post-Wall, but still, nice indeed.

For the non-tech people this was a great vid.  That last picture of the whole wall at the end of the video...heady times that I wish I could have witnessed. 

Thanks for posting that Dave!

I missed it by 2 years. Although had they toured in 1975, I would have seen them then.

I saw a big chunk of the Wall at a three night stand at Winterland in February of '74, and then the official unveiling at The Sound Test at the Cow Palace in March.  I then saw it throughout '74, up through the final five night stand at Winterland before they took their hiatus.  To paraphrase the late Richard Nixon, it was, indeed, a great wall.

Bill, tgo

This is the kind of Wall I could get behind building!  I don't care what country pays for it!

Really enjoyed the video, David. Thanks for posting.
