I spent so much money on stereo equipment back in the late 70's early 80's it was ridiculous. There were about 8 of us that had to constantly one-up each other. I think it ended on this day.
We went to a Ted Nugent concert on the lakefront in Milwaukee. Parked under the Hoan Bridge which is like a giant amphitheater under there. 3 of us brought our speakers (Full size Home Speakers), 2 were Bose, 2 were Klipsh and I can't remember the other 2. Brought 3 batteries and hooked up 3 amps, each rated at that time at 200 watts/channel at .05 THD which was the best that could be bought at the time.
Started playing some Ted, drinking a QuarterBarrel. I mean come on, there were 5 of us and we didn't wan't to run out
We see these 4 guys running, I mean sprinting across the parking lot. They get to within a few hundred feet and stop.
Not the brightest light bulbs if you know what I mean.
Then they see the 6 speakers sitting on the roofs of the cars. They thought Ted had started a sound check and were missing out. We laughed our arse's off. Guys were from Chitown
but we still decided to party with them.
I am pretty sure most of my hearing loss
can be attributed to that day. Now I'm getting the bug to make the Mark alot louder.
Must be old age, or is that, mid-life crisis?
LOL.
