Grateful Dead

check pm.

Got it saved this time. Good thing because my photographic memory is not working well, lol. It was a pot leaf type symbol! Really the photos themselves are probably enough provenance given you can tell it's the same one in the pics. It does not seem to be on castors and the speakers were vertically stacked. The pic taken from backstage is not the same one (not as wide and different number on it?) but it does show how they did stencil over an old logo that was like this pot leaf one with the bolt logo. I'd want to put some speakers back in it! More research would be required. That 36W on it obviously means something. Likely keyed to a map of what goes where on stage. It may sell, but to a more money than sense buyer. Hell, I'm poor and I'd still give a him $300 for it, lol. Thanks again Gary.
Cheers
Edit: Oro, search ebaydotcom then jam Gary's slash itm slash number without the gaps. Seller name johadam580. Looks like he's only sold 3 items ever. From Woodacre, CA

oops meant to send to you pm.

just put in the ebay and com then that uptop. Maybe it works.

Relisted!

Well until they say foul.

Yep guessing maybe one of Phil's first cabinets. Speaker openings look to be 10". Like you, if I could grab for maybe $250 I would do it. Watch the Pickers/Antiques Road Shows. Always fascinating the value of "things." Might look good mounted on a wall. I have too many things that are sort of in the works. Like saving for Courtney Tie-die to make me some classic GD tie-dye speaker covers, or a piece of Mouse's artwork valuable to me. Speaking of, there is a Mouse signed Artist proof of "the Jester" poster there for $1,250.

I like the pic of Jerry next to the cabinet or another one similar. I am guessing 1967-68 time frame, maybe? Could it even been earlier. Trying to remember the timeline of red/blue lightning bolt, then that becoming SYF lightning bolt as their equipment (trademark) sign.

Stencil was sort of a fleur de lys looking symbol.
Nothing I've ever seen on anything Dead.
Good sized thing, looked like it would have held 2 15" speakers side by side and the slot in the top had a shelf so maybe a giant horn tweeter. No back on it anymore. Looked like the guy was storing his GD curios on that shelf in one pic. Not sure but it may have been on casters which is why I thought PA. The many photos seem to say it is real. They were all very early from the hair, clothes, I'd guess '66-'67. You can't fake that road wear either. Maybe the seller will relist it. I didn't note his seller name but he only had the one item listed. If it could only talk! All the venues it may have been to!
Cheers

Answer: not enough shows! Hindsight being twenty twenty I might of snuck another dozen or so if the situation allowed?

Old Cab/ART? Couldn’t find it Gary? Guessing the logo was the SYF prototype by Bob Thomas with just the bolt in the middle of the Red and Blue circle. Bear wanted some way to easily tell at a distance what cabs etc were theirs at festivals and gigs with multiple bands.
But yeah, 10K, that’s crazy, even if it was confirmed!
We used to build our own using Hard Truckers specs, (11 ply 3/4” Finish birch) still have a double JBL E140 bass cab I use for a sub woofer in the theatre since I don’t play any more : (

EDIT: yeah Dave, A LEGEND!…..(hear sound of foot tapping)

PF I was at both these shows, both great shows,, 7/13/84 is somewhat of a legend.

Missed this one, didn't even know about it. I must be getting old..

ProudFoot.. caught 8/26/88 but missed 8/28. Assuming you were at both, 8/28 was pretty meh also, but it did have an ok China Cat I Know You Rider. I kept hoping Carlos and the boys would play a song or three together.

Shows, I think I'm north of 100.. not exactly sure. A friend recently asked why so many shows? a= BIG FUN, had the time of my life (except for the cops on horseback at the Capitol Centre). I bet you could add up all the ticket costs for all these shows and still come in under what most people spent on a single Taylor Swift show, especially if you had a daughter or two in tow. Which was (is) more fun? And honestly.. I learned a lot and met some very interesting and influential thinkers along the way not to mention the geography, freedom and venues we got to see. If I had it all to do all over again, I wouldn't change a thing except I would have gone to more shows...

I'm at about 300.
