PINK FLOYD - Live Sound In The 70s

By TOM BOWSER

A couple of high school friends and I went to see the 1977 PINK FLOYD Animals/In The Flesh concert at Milwaukee County Stadium in Wisconsin. Our friend Jim McNamara scored us "Field Passes". We sat on the grass about 150 feet in front of the sound system's front of house mix position. What I experienced that night is one of the reasons I got involved in audio production (Thanks Jim!).

Years later I was fortunate to work as part of the crew to set up Pink Floyd on 2 different tours, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, May 20, 1988, and The Division Bell, July 3, 1994 when they played Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin.

Hard-core Pink Floyd fans & tech heads may enjoy this look inside the technology behind Pink Floyd's concert sound in those early years.
