This is a fantastic site and very engaging too. Excellent work! That’s not really much coming from an amateur publisher like me, but it’s all I could think after enjoying your posts. Not like other site. You really know what you’re talking about too. So much that you made me want to explore more. Your blog has become a stepping stone for me, my friend. Thanks for the detailed journey. I really enjoyed the posts that I have read so fartestking 000-977 = testking 000-978 =

Funny maternity clothes need not necessarily be expensive, as you may get funny maternity t-shirts for less than $30! There are t-shirts that have inscriptions such as "not in a good mood", "baby on board", "I'm pregnant, what's your excuse?", " I'm making a human, what did you do today?", "Already smarter than Bush", "I just wanted a back rub" etc. There are funny clothes available for the father of the child too, with funny inscriptions such as "See how my boys swim,” "Man behind the belly"; "My pregnant wife scares me" etc.

thanks for the info, I like the idea of 2 systems for FOH i will try that 1 for sure

Dave mentions the differences in amplification between then and now. A bit of amplifier trivia -Some of the amps used for the Dead systems were McIntosh designs, MI-350(or MC3500) 125lb, 350W RMS fan cooled mono tube units, which were rated to handle loads down to 1 ohm, in 1968! I have also seen reference to the Dead using similar looking McIntosh MC2300 solid state stereo units -rated 300W/ch or 600W mono, usable down to 0.5 ohm - for their Wall of sound at Woodstock. I have seen these amps in use on stage as late as the 1980s. Not sure if any are still in use by touring bands.

The MI-350 was a derivation of a 1949 McIntosh design by an engineer named Mile Nestorovic, who later formed his own company and marketed primarily home audio components. He may have also had a hand in the MC2300, though I am unsure of that.

Early high power transistor amps were not true complementary designs, as high power pnp output devices were not readily available and manufacturers used quasi-complementary designs based on npn transistors. When these failed they would often take the loudspeaker with them so protection circuits needed to be incorporated to protect the speakers. To my knowledge the tube units did not have such issues and the output transformers also permitted a wide range of load impedances to be connected. I suspect these are some of the reasons tube amps continued to be used for PA and FOH applications for many years,

not to mention a possible preference for the sound quality over early solid state designs. Of course by the late 70s-early 80s technology was changing. Who would lug around a truck load of 125lb amps to get 300-350W/channel today ?

McIntosh is note worthy for producing high power, high quality, reliable tube amps. Today the Manley 500 is available, though I don't know if anyone has taken these on tour. Does anyone know ?

I had the priviledge of working with the creator of the original WOS for the Dead on several occasions... His name was Joe Corchoran from San Francisco. His dad, at the time, had the largest Sound reinforcement company in the area. The Dead found out Joe's dad had the biggest PA around.

He built the first WOS for the Dead. I believe it was originally because the stage was built too small and they were problem solving so the PA would not sit in the mud. They loved it and made it a trademark look.

Joe: "I'm not a druggy. The first time you spike my food with acid, I'm taking all my toys home!"

They never messed with him...
