    The Grateful Dead’s Wall of Sound 1974 Tour

    89 300-watt solid-state and three 350-watt vacuum tube amplifiers generating a total of 26,400 watts of audio power.
    604 speakers total.

    586 JBL speakers and 54 Electrovoice tweeters powered by 48 McIntosh MC-2300 Amps (48 X 600 = 28,800 Watts of continuous (RMS) power).

    • That system took 4 semi-trailers and 21 crew members to set up, at every goddamn show. It could be heard clearly from over a mile away. Sorry, I'm a head.davey_g
