    WAF would probably be low on these. Unless that wife liked shabby chic. But then the work would already be done. And you'd have to explain why she would be divorced if she tried to fix them up.

    @mhardy6647 's probably heard these in person.

    Talk about torture... I thought those guys used motorcycle chains for that.

    Ramrod was the Dead's roadie, and later president of their record co.

    Very early on, the Dead used some Altec Voice of the Theaters (A7s, most likely). Personally, I'd hold out for those, since they'll actually sound pretty good. They used a Mac amplifier, of course (MC-240, methinks) -- as was their wont.

    There's a photo in Blair Jackson's nifty book Grateful Dead Gear, but I can't find the image on teh webz. :| I will dig one up anon.

    Personally. Unless you are deep into Psilocybin, the dead is mediocre at best. From what I was told. From others. Honest.
