Its all about the Music
I know every time a new thread pops up here about Woodstock pops up here, people like to say "ad nauseam", "flogging Dead Horses", "been done" blah blah blah....
You'll get over it....
We are approaching 50 years since Woodstock, and so I always keep an eye on what people are saying about it around its anniversary each year, and I came across this article.
Its of interest to me as I have been in Live Audio for over 30 years now, and I have seen great technological advances in my time.
But I do like looking back at the origins of Live Audio, and at the beginning, there was McIntosh.
I have a dream of how interesting it would be to assemble the same system, and set it up at that venue and have a listen to it today so we can see how far we have or haven't come.
A lot of people dismiss the system by todays standards, but I can tell you from experience, that even that old system would probably surprise a lot of people, I'd say a fair amount of people most likely had a great audio experience at Woodstock thanks to Bill Hanley, McIntosh, Altec, Shure, Teletronix etc etc...
Lets see how many pics we can plaster over this thread, there always seems to be more pictures I have never seen before coming out of the woodwork!!
I am sure @4-2-7 will lead the charge!!
Here's the link to an article I thought was very interesting.
