The Grateful Dead used to tour with a PA system that included "the
JBL-Alembic Wall Of Sound" set of speakers which took about nine
18-wheelers to tote it around. Cut the profit margin on their tours
considerably.... the funny thing is that this always struck me as an
example of capitalistic excess, not what the band was known for

Odd how that works, huh?

A few years ago, I was involved in a charity concert with some name
musicians and one that was requested was Jimmy Buffet.

All of the artists we contacted were great except for him.

Without getting into details, I'll never buy another JB cd or book
again.
