Hello everybody,
are there any old school live sound engineers from the 70s and 80s here ? Do you have pics from big modular PA stacks, huge FOH and monitor sets ? I will start with a backstage / monitor pic from a Scorpions French Tour in the early 80s. Watch the stacking of JBL 4550 bottom, 4560 on top with a assembling of 2395 slant plates, horns and 075 bullets. Drivers were most JBL and Gauss, all AlNiCo of course. I remember we had Crown DC300 and BGW750 amps, you can see a rack behind the PA. Monitor desk was Soundcraft I think, lots of Klark Teknik EQs. We did not think about phase problems when we set up PA systems, horns were always on top, sometimes side by side. I worked for Scorpions from 75 till 84 and did hundreds of gigs with them.
