A classic Kelsey Morris PA, presumably. Including their customised Quad 303's or 50E's. But I'm not sure about the quantities, there should be an even number of PA cabinets.

I know when I saw Marc with T-Rex at the Roundhouse back in the days he was deffo using HH amps.
The specs of the PA system look pathetic when you consider what a band today would have on tour. Interesting fact about Marc - the reason he was in the mini when he died was because his manager had lent his Rolls Royce to Hawkwind who were on tour.

For sidefills, can we have two enormous things of a type that might be venerated as Gods by the inhabitants of Easter Island, capable of reaching volumes that would make Beelzebub soil his pants.

The moral there is,never lend your Rolls Royce to anybody! But yes,hit a tree in two and half tons of Rolls,the car would be fine, just the tree would fall down. |

Be seeing you.

God bless you Robbo, not only do you identify the cabs but also the drivers, you need to right that book bud , As for Mark Bolan, he was a giant of the time, David Bowie wrote the track All the young dudes made famous by Mott the hoople, and the lyrics, "why do I need tv when Iv'e got T rex" Bowie thought Bolan was a genius, enough said. |
