The Grateful Dead's "Wall of Sound", 1974

Found at imgur via a Reddit thread which included these interesting comments:
My favorite part is how every single person in this picture has essentially the same haircut, guy and girl alike....

It should be noted that each of Phil Lesh's strings was sent to a different stack
...Wait, what? Really?
... This is how Phil was able to play lots of dyads and chords on the bass, with overdrive, without them sounding all weird and intermodulation-y as on a normal bass.
...That's not... possible? Guitar pickups do not work that way!
...it absolutely is possible. Phil Lesh used special pickups that sent the output from each pole piece out on a separate channel each channel was routed to its own set of speakers

Due to the lengthy installation time required for each venue, the Grateful Dead had three stages for the Wall of Sound. One would be in the process of being torn down from the previous concert, one would be in use, and the last would be in the next city being built as the present shows were being played... Four semi-trailer trucks and twenty-one crew members were required to haul and set up the 75-ton Wall
