>From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_of_Sound_(Grateful_Dead):
"The Wall of Sound consisted of eighty-nine 300-watt solid state and

three 350-watt

vacuum tube amplifiers, driving the speakers with a total of 26,400

watts RMS ... Phil

Lesh's bass guitar was piped through a quadraphonic encoder that sent

a separate

signal from each of the four strings to its own channel and set of speakers."
This was in '73-74.  Rock and roll indeed 8-)
