    Smile 1970 Festival with Altecs

    Wisconsin Historical Images | Sound Storm: Wisconsin's First Rock Festival I was at this festival. Jerry Garcia with out a beard and the vocals coming in load and clear from the Altec horns. Only a couple of shots of the sound system, see if you can spot the horns. Cheers, Doug

    Cool site - thanks.
    For a festival called "Sound Storm" there aren't many shots of the Sound System.
    Here's some.

    Yeah looks like a Multicell up on top there !

    Here's an old Doors album cover I came across "Live In Hollywood" that are using 311-90's and looks like an A5 on the ground with the 311 on top ! In the first picture front cover if look at Jim Morrison you can see another pair of 311's (90's on top & 60's on the bottom)

    http://www.commondreams.org/files/im...dstock-600.jpg Retro Rebirth Classic Rock Music & Retro Pop Culture The first link has a good shot of 311-90's with Jimi Hendrix, the second link mentions providing the best available sound system for this festival. My guess it would have been Altec. Altec was in the right place at the right time. A missed opportunty for sure. Thanks for the Doors concert info. I will try and find a copy.

    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.
