    The Dead's Wall of Sound also influenced the actual war on drugs. Owsley Stanley AKA Bear created the sound system and got the money for it by being the biggest LSD supplier in the world at the time.

      The man responsible for that wall is a legend in many ways..acid tests and wall of sound for starters...there was multiple systems as well..the setup and teardown took so long that a second crew was out ahead at next venue setting up next show ahead..then leapfrog the first rig to next show... amazing and so expensive logistically they abandoned it due to costs..he was in and out of the bands history and is even famous for handmade bronze belt buckles...old head buddy just waited 4 years for one and he paid 3 grand for it ...

    i love WOD and Adam as a player and musician, but my biggest pet peeve on RR is when they spend so much time explaining the nerdery of the rig, while holding a guitar, yet never hit a preset and play a few chords or lines so we HEAR it. so many of the RR episodes are like this. love it overall tho.

    • @Tim85-y2q

    These days it's about how small you can make the touring rig, so people go to axe fx and hx stomps, which is fine, they sound great, but there's just something about a real amp pushing air through a cabinet with a big board of pedals to color the sound which has a certain sound and presence to it, just a more physical experience.
