Vendor Route BriefThe Wall of Sound
A giant, short-lived sound system that treated amplification as part engineering project, part collective instrument.
The Wall of Sound belongs in the lore because it explains how seriously this community treats the physical act of listening. It also illustrates a recurring Dead pattern: pursue an idea until logistics expose the next problem.
Venue pages borrow that seriousness by asking about actual sound, sightlines, placement, and room behavior—not only capacity and parking.
