Its kinda crazy how ahead of their time they really were/are a 22 year old bob weir singing these songs espically this one is kinda crazy how they thought back then and how the songs that they play still relate to people of modern times
-
@tomjampap Well, yeah; they overdubbed all of the vocals and most of the guitar parts... it's a lot easier to make things sound perfect in the studio than on the stage. ;)

@Hashjihadful Well maybe it is a matter of definition. I was at the 71 Hill Auditorium/Ann Arbor concert and behind the band was pile of speakers taller then they were with tie-dyed fronts on them. I remember it well. Maybe that is not considered the 'official' wall of sound, but the reality was that is was 'a' wall of sound with the psychedelic tie-dyed fronts of the speaker cabinets that looked like a wall behind the band. The NRPS played a great set first then the Dead played for about 4 hrs

@arniepodo I agree with Freeflyer, I read multiple sources that say the First Wall of Sound show was in 1974, not to mention that last Week the Dead.net question was this very question, and yes definitely 74. The man who build the Wall of Sound. Bear was in jail until 1972, and so it is impossible it was any earlier than that. Here is the Wiki.
