JamPro Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 That's nothing. Brent Midland of the Grateful Dead had 6-8 Leslies on stage - tho I think they would only mic one of them for the PA. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was what I came up with: Brent Midland live with the Dead. At least two Leslies visible on stage. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxSfiBh_Df6fD3NbL_ofmlL78b9GAlvXRL?si=P6AarsvAZNPRzrUs 2 Quote "I like rock and roll, man, I don't like much else."

Zalman Stern Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Is it legit to call Rotofon's "Leslies?" I assumed no proper Leslie speaker could be lifted by fewer than two or three people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Back in my roadie days I could carry one of the tallboy Leslie's by myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Mojo Risin Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Melvin Seals still uses 2 Leslies at most gigs. Mics them separately, one for the horn and one for the rotor. Always sounds glorious! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big GD fan, but this is verging into Spinal Tap territory. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Mydland 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is why the GD employed two drummers—in case one of ‘em blowed up on stage Quote "I like rock and roll, man, I don't like much else."
