- Is everything just so damnably raggedy-ass?
- Unsupervised child wandering around?
- Ugliest band member up front?
- Level of skew that races past askew to achieve full antiskew?
- A weird, sad work light hanging off the rigging right above center stage for some fucking reason?
If the answer to these questions is “yes,” then you’re most likely viewing a photo of a Grateful Dead show. Thank you for your attention.
Is that a monitor?
being a gear nerd/freak, I love the stack of Mac2300s on the right. I believe they started using them in 73 and then powered the w.o.s. with them. and Jerry started using them to power his fender twin around 73 too I believe. but I digress. MK
The Macintosh amps were in use by the summer of 1973, as there was a special visit to the factory to get more amps for the Watkins Glen shows.
yes, as the story goes they helicoptered to the factory in Binghampton I believe to load up on the mac2300s. and Jerry used them right up to 94 when he switched to the digital rig set up. but I digress. Mk
Jim Furman saved the day, and had a helluva copter ride, too!
I recently got a mac2105 for my “Garcia rig” had the fender twin alembicized, the whole 9. it is pretty awesome have to say. its been my obsession for years now. but I digress MK
