Are you a Dead-Head? That Advent array reminds me of their "Wall of Sound".

Not a real Dead_Head, but I saw them at the "Bob Dylan, Greatful Dead, Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker" tour in 1986.

Dude!  aa

Oh no here we go. I kinda remember the Wall Of Sound. I was at the first sound check at the Cow Palace.
I think it was like 640 speakers. I do remember when we first went in it smelled like the Cow Palace but after about half an hour it had a little different smell, kinda like old rope speaker wire :o               :smoke:

What does a Deadhead say when his acid wears off?  :roll:

(pause for effect)

"Hey, this band SUCKS!!!"  :lol:

   In the immortal words of Iron Prostate:

Bring me the head of Jerry Garcia
He plays guitar like diarrhea
He's dumb as a doorknob and a ton overweight
That's why they call him the dreadful grate
He can't fingerpick because his hand's incomplete
He needs two drummers just to find the beat
His words are as solid as a cloud of smoke
If that guy is deep, then I'm the pope!

Bring me the head
Bring me the head
Bring me the head of Jerry Garcia
Bring me the head
Bring me the head
Bring me the head of Jerry Garcia

Dead!...Head!...Dead!...Head!...Dead!

Bring me the head of the Grateful Dead
His fans think the sixties are a tire retread
From Frisco to Red Rocks, from N.Y. to Wembley
They dance around in circles like a Moonie assembly

They eat lots of reds and vitamin C
They drink cheap wine laced with LSD
They drop and snort but without any luck
Because whatever they're on - the Dead still suck!

Bring me the head
Bring me the head
Bring me the head of Jerry Garcia
Bring me the head
Bring me the head
Bring me the head of Jerry Garcia

Dead!...Head!...Dead!...Head!...Dead!

   In other news, Frank's head just exploded.

More info on the Wall here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_of_Sound_(Grateful_Dead)

Of note:

"The Wall of Sound acted as its own monitor system, and it was therefore assembled behind the band so the members could hear exactly what their audience was hearing. Because of this, Stanley and Alembic designed a special microphone system to prevent feedback. This placed matched pairs of condenser microphones spaced 60 mm apart and run out of phase. The vocalist sang into the top microphone, and the lower mic picked up whatever other sound was present in the stage environment. The signals were summed, the sound that was common to both mics (the sound from the Wall) was cancelled, and only the vocals were amplified.

Due to the lengthy installation time required for each venue, the Grateful Dead had three stages for the Wall of Sound. One would be in the process of being torn down from the previous concert, one would be in use, and the last would be in the next city being built as the present shows were being played. The three stages would thus leapfrog each other throughout touring. Four semi-trailer trucks and twenty-one crew members were required to haul and set up the 75-ton Wall."

Stanley, along with Dan Healy and Mark Raizene of the Grateful Dead's sound crew and Ron Wickersham, Rick Turner, and John Curl of Alembic, combined six independent sound systems using eleven separate channels in an effort to deliver high-quality sound to audiences.

Is this the same John Curl of Parasound fame?

Yes I think that is the same John Curl. Back in the 70s he had the JC-1 preamp. I think they are the same person and yes the Dead Rock  :smoke:
