THE BEATLES "LIVE" in ATLANTA 1965 Superior Quality

Description: By 1965 The Beatles had become used to being unable to hear themselves play. FB ‘Duke" Mewborn , the boss of Atlanta hi-fi store Baker Audio, decided to give the group something that had never been done before: monitor speakers on the stage, pointing towards the group, to allow them to hear their voices and instruments.It wasn’t just on stage that the sound was different. The state-of-the-art setup on the field included four Altec 1570 amplifiers, each giving 175 watts of sound, which in turn powered two stacks of Altec A7 speakers. Although unremarkable today, in 1965 it was an unheard of amount of power for a pop concert.The difference was noted from the stage, with Paul McCartney saying after She’s A Woman: “It’s loud, isn’t it? Great!”Being able to hear themselves enabled The Beatles to play tighter than usual, and they were delighted with the results. Afterwards Brian Epstein suggested that Mewborn deal with the sound for their other shows, but the offer was turned down.After the concert ended The Beatles sprinted to their waiting limousine. Accompanied by a police escort, they were taken to the airport. The group’s airplane took off just before midnight, bound for Houston.
