Can anyone throw light on the vocal mics used in the Grateful Dead’s 1974 concert video linked below? It looks like a pair of interference tubes linked to a bespoke summing box…or a very early dual vape pipe/mic prototype?
Also on view, with horrifying relaxed OHS rigging practices, is their legendary Wall of Sound speaker system.
All in all, well worth a look…times have certainly changed!
