Most artists did not carry/pay a recorder/mixer/sound/amp....

Much depended upon the venue....and CD's (tapes) of the night's mix were not "immediately available."

For the "big names" I saw in the 60's there were three microphones/ left / right / vocalist.

Commercial was only available through the studios.

Holy B-Ging-Mutha-Sheet - The "Dirt Band" was in town....and broke off into small house-holds - with hospital hosts - what a set of recordings we could have snaked that night....if the new tech was available.....

Instead, we ALL left with a night magical memories....that linger on both sides. Two chaps in "the village" had a slide guitar-technique that enthralled Jeff Hanna for over two hours.
