What survives from the centerpiece vocal cluster of the legendary Wall of Sound


“Big” Steve Parish: “These are what remain from our first attempt to replace the original ‘fives’ which were made of plywood and individually sandwiched in the first vocal cluster. As we streamlined the set up and permanently had the right angle of the array down pat, we replaced the plywood fives with these speaker enclosures.”
