Here are some links for further Grateful Dead Wall of Sound pics including construction and flying. If anyone is interested, I have a technical description of the system which makes interesting reading.
Just PM me if you want a copy. IMG]http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t144/Jazomir/grateful-dead-wall-of-sound-10.jpg[/IMG]                     and one of the Dead with a normal (Meyer) system  |

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.

thats what my kitchen looks like, I remember buying some 115's off some guy in London who claimed that when he was younger he single handedly used to lift them up flights of stairs..when I asked him to show me how he did it ,the vein in his forehead nearly exploded through strain!!still he got it off the ground... just!(was unloaded).There is quite a technique to lifting them on your own. |

A couple more for your collections.
First, a small oldie - Family at Hyde Park Probably 300 watts max for several thousand people!!!  Secondly Windsor Jazz festival, 1967 - no, that's not a V-Dosc system, they are WEM 4x12s on their sides:  Finally, the Who's Heil system:  Edited by jazomir - 16 May 2008 at 10:35am |

And some more:
First, Pink Floyd's rig at Knebworth (steve Miller Band on stage). This system was also used at the Queen/Steve Hillage concert at Hyde Park a while later - sounded really good at both although Floyd had well chronicled problems both before & during the Knebworth show.  Next, an IES (pre MEH) system at Knebworth in 1974 (Tony, did you construct these cabs for IES?)  Next, the original Turbosound Festival rig:  Finally, the Hollywood bowl V-Dosc system@  Enjoy!!! |

Great photos Jazomir....it makes me wonder where all this old vintage gear ended up...Ok,the 4550 and 4560`s would all be firewood now,but i bet some of those hf horns are still around. By the way,i have a pair of 1" 2345 with 2420`s here that came from Pink Floyds 70`s rig. But where did all those martin cabinets end up? ....James?
