Mark Karan gave a great performance at a small club in Sausalito Friday. He has recovered from throat cancer and has a new CD out - and is playing wonderfully. Like the Dead of old, Mark and his band played till 1:30AM. Bob Weir showed up at midnight and played a few songs. He even brought his dad with him.

The pictures above were taken before I saw the Dead in both New Orleans and Atlanta a few years after they quit using the infamous "Wall of Sound". If interested, there are some pretty cool articles floating around the net about the technology curve and expense the Dead went through to put on a good show. Something like 800 individual McKintosh amplifiers, JBL speakers and Phil Lesh's bass having a quadrophonic setup with separate channels for each string. Another interesting reason for using a system like this is that it was essentially distortion free and they heard the same sound the audience did (no monitors).
I think they quit using this system in 1974 about 4 years before I ever saw them perform. None the less this looks like a thread where someone might appreciate the pics.

Dig the T-shirt...someone once gave me one. I'd probably still have it (as well as all my T-shirts from high school) but my wife kindly updates and discards on a regular basis.
