I was wondering if you wouldn't mind adding my copyright to my image of the Wall of Sound you have posted? It's cool that you use it as long as I get photo credit.
Credit should appear: Photo ©Richard Pechner
I have other images you might want to post and you can see them here: rpechner.com in the gallery "Music"
Cheers,
Richard

Though the initial framework and a rudimentary form of the system was unveiled at Stanford University's Roscoe Maples Pavilion on February 9, 1973 (ominously, every tweeter blew as the band began their first number), the Grateful Dead did not begin to tour with the full system until a year later. The completed Wall of Sound made its public debut on March 23, 1974, at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California. A recording of the performance was released in 2002 as Dick's Picks Volume 24.
The rising cost of fuel and personnel, as well as friction among many of the newer crew members and associated hangers-on, contributed to the band's October 1974 "retirement." The Wall of Sound was disassembled, and when the Dead began touring again in 1976, it was with a more logistically practical sound system.

I agree with you - even a "rudimentary" version of the wall of sound was powerful enough to generate beautiful AUD recordings.
