A short look at the Wall of Sound. Mostly stuff that's been posted here before, but in a nice compact video.

Nice!
It leaves out a lot of innovation both pre- and post-Wall, but still, nice indeed.

For the non-tech people this was a great vid. That last picture of the whole wall at the end of the video...heady times that I wish I could have witnessed.
Thanks for posting that Dave!

I missed it by 2 years. Although had they toured in 1975, I would have seen them then.
I saw a big chunk of the Wall at a three night stand at Winterland in February of '74, and then the official unveiling at The Sound Test at the Cow Palace in March. I then saw it throughout '74, up through the final five night stand at Winterland before they took their hiatus. To paraphrase the late Richard Nixon, it was, indeed, a great wall.
Bill, tgo
This is the kind of Wall I could get behind building! I don't care what country pays for it!
Really enjoyed the video, David. Thanks for posting. :)
