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)

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.
The 16 track concert CD is here: eBay Seller: grooves-inc-uk: the doors, Music items on eBay Australia Lots of other doors live material, too. I just ordered a copy.

Cool vintage pics!
Thanks for sharing.

As an aside The Dead used McIntosh tube, and later solid state amplifiers often visible on stage. Were they used in a PA capacity, or for stage monitors?

Funny, a few weeks ago I saw an old DOORS video that was labeled "Live in Europe" I have no idea where. They were doing Light My Fire - Jim was ripped, of course. But he went down between the lip of the stage and the barriers to work the crowd for quite some time having girls sing or yell into the mic. As blasted as he was, he was very, very careful with his mic cable. Jim carefully coiled and uncoiled it into his left hand, never once snagging it or tripping over it. Back and forth he went in front of the stage then back up on stage. Never a snag or tangle in his mic cable. I was impressed!
