This story took me back. It’s close to 50 years since I saw Jimi Hendrix and the Who, among many others, at one of the first Isle of Wight festivals! Amazingly, the PA system at the original event was but a single KW and was augmented by the similar sized system from the Who. All the speakers were just 12″ columns, I think. That level of power is in plenty of living rooms, these days!(BR)
