Good live sound recording Dennis, I’ll resist the temptation to ask if you have any ‘baked’ fresh maggots? Oops!

For backline – although we used to use mainly Marshall back line in ’73 (I had a Marshall 100 driving 2 Marshall 4 x 12’s and later added a Marshall 50 driving another Marshall 4 x 12; and Mick had a Hiwatt 100 driving 2 x Marshall 1 x 18″‘s). For this rehearsal recording however we borrowed Stiletto’s backline (I used Grahams Fender Bandmaster 50 driving a Marshall 4 x 12, Mick used Arun’s Fender Bassman 100 driving 2 Fender 2 x 15″‘s (I think) and Leigh used my Fender Pro Reverb 50. <\/p>\n

The rehearsal was recorded on my old Sony TC630 reel-to-reel recorder which I sold years ago – I think I used Shure SM58’s for mikes..

Thanks Kev, It is surprising considering it was recorded just using a stereo pair in an empty club room… Re Baked Maggots – LMAO…
