Wall Of Sound Video

Here's a video talking about setting up the Wall Of Sound. It has some great footage of Phil discussing & playing his Alembic through the Wall.

I've been looking at many Dead photos online, one person graciously created a zip file of 900+ pics
to publicly share. I put them up here .
 
Some cool pics from '66 (the lead sled in at least one)...all the way up thru the '00s.
As I go through my bookmarks I'll see if I can remember the source.

Just passing along something I learned the other day... and this seemed like an appropriate thread.

The other day on "Today In Grateful Dead History" they didn't have a show for 3/7, so they played 7/8/87, my hometown, Roanoke VA. Probably the most interesting thing was a couple rarer tunes in the first set the first night (they were here two nights); Dupree's Diamond Blues and Big Railroad Blues. Can't say I ever heard either of them. My buddy Shag tried all Summer to get me to go to those two shows. I had a legit excuse - had to work and had a gig.

Anyway, turns out, that wasn't the first time the Dead were in Roanoke. They were here on 7/27/74, with The Wall of Sound. It was one of the shows with that beautiful monstrosity. There's a pretty funny comment about them not being able to fit all their "equipment" in the Roanoke Civic Center.

Yeah, that's enough to make one wonder how anyone could think a Precision through an SVT counts as "bass"................

Man, what atone!
