I saw and heard the Wall of Sound at Alexandra Palace in London, UK, in, I think 1974. No home-based sound system can come within 10,000 light years (from home) of what that thing sounded like in a hall that held only about 10,000 people. Probably 3/4 of whom were thoroughly well dosed, me included. Nearly blew the roof off. My head and the Palace. But this scale project is really interesting and, from what I have read, pretty well engineered. And with plans to scale it up to maybe 2/3 real size. There were actually two complete Walls in the original because it took so long to build up and take down, the road crew had to hop-frog to keep up with the tour schedules of the times. Recommendation: Read the autobios by Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, and Rock Scully. I've been seeing shows, in 2 continents and 3 countries (Like a Rolling Stone), for 50+ years, and the only other PA system that came even close to the Wall, IMO, was the Roger Waters 2017 tour of The Wall (irony there does not not escape me) which I saw with the apple of my eye at the LA Forum. This year's Covers Project has upped the ante from previous (again only IMO): some amazing musicianship and getting into longer sets. Keep the faith people, the bus will carry on and carry you...
It’s half scale based on speaker diameter. Technically all of the speakers are a bit larger than 1/2 the diameter of the original. There are still 500+ speakers, 50,000+ watts, and functionally it operates the same way as the original. You can see a lot more of the information on Facebook page is under “Le Petite Mur De Son.
Is the Mini-Wall Of Sound going on tour with the band? Looks good on TV and sounds good through my pretty good speakers and sub. Never got to see the real thing, except in The Grateful Dead Movie, but I never got to FEEL it live. Have to say, it looks just like the real thing, just mini. Have Phil, Bob, Mickey and Bill seen and heard it?
Yo I can play any pigpen lick on harmonica. With decent proficiency. If you guys ever find yourselves in the mid west, evansville Indiana to be specific, I would be honored to see if i could channel some pigpen through the mini wall. One love you guys!!
This is just smoking hot! 🔥 almost like it left a "smoking crater". ✌

Now this is really COOKIN'! Love what you guys (and gal) are up to. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very Nice
This is amazing!
I can feel the bass bombs being dropped through my shitty TV speakers! This is awesome. 👍
What's half scale? Speakers? Cabinets? Amount of speakers? Wattage? I'm dying to know. Can someone clear this up?

Who are the musicians? I think I recognize Mike Katzman on keyboards. They all sound excellent!

This wall is for sale. I’m hoping to have it purchased by a venue who can operate it. It’s absolutely like the original but smaller!
