Getting Loud And Clear About The Grateful Dead’s Wall Of Sound with Author Brian Anderson

from Behind The Song: Classic Rock Chronicles

The Grateful Dead’s desire to create the best sound for their audience led to the construction of the legendary Wall Of Sound, a sound amplification system that grew to enormous proportions with one goal in mind: to make their live concerts loud, but clear. It was one of the many technical innovations that sprung out of the Grateful Dead’s inner circle, and it impacted all of live music as we hear it today. In the new bonus episode of the Behind The Song podcast, listen in as Janda chats with New York Times Best-Selling author Brian Anderson about the fascinating ways The Grateful Dead were true innovators as they discuss his page-turning book “Loud and Clear: The Grateful Dead’s Wall of Sound and the Quest for Audio Perfection.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
