Coytee Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 So, would these be viewed as 'Grateful Dead' speakers......or 'Hell's Angels' speakers? In either case, they are probably full of interesting stories..... but I never got into either group too much.... so for me, it's a "meh" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gift from from Jerry’s mom, including the earliest Grateful Dead speakers, later given by the band to the Hells Angels Clubhouse "Big" Steve Parish: “The Klipsch speakers were purchased by Jerry’s mother for the first small PA used by the Grateful Dead, 1966/67, then stored in our warehouse until the early 70’s , when Jerry asked us, as a gesture of friendship, to gift them to the Richmond Hells Angels for a music system for their clubhouse. The 2 black Kllipsch plus the mid range speakers that the crew built and powered by the Sansui amp were used at the Richmond clubhouse from 1973 to 2019. We present this historical small PA with a great history.” The present was the party sound system for the Hells Angels in their Richmond, CA, clubhouse for years, and contains what is likely the earliest surviving Grateful Dead speakers. Other lots in this Auction have Owl's amps, McIntosh amps apparently from the Wall of Sound, etc. Travis Set out runnin' but I take my time A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight I just might get some sleep tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
