     Dead Records

     Largest Attendence: (1973-1989) 
        
        'Summer Jam' Grand Prix Racecourse, Watkins Glen, N.Y.  
        July 28, 1973   600,000 in attendence. 
        (Guiness Book Of World Records) verified with Deadbase.
       
     Largest Mobile Sound System: (1974-87)
       
       'Wall Of Sound' 600 speakers, 48  2,300 power amps, 26,00 watts 
       RMS, 25 tons. The most unusual aspect of the system, besides    
       its impressive bulk, was that each musician had his own         
       sonically independent system, so no two sounds went through the 
       same speaker,which effectively wiped out any distortion. Also,  
       the whole 50-foot high rig was set up behind the players,       
       removing the need for a seperate monitor system and giving the  
       band a clear idea of what was going out to the audience.


     Most Nights Sold Out on Broadway in the least amount of time.     
     (1987-??)
       When tickets for Jerry at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater on          
       Broadway, New York, N.Y. went on sale they sold out 18 shows in 
       15 minutes.
    
     Dead Notables:

       Most Released Live Recordings second only to Frank Zappa

       Second band to incoperate ear-piece monitor system eliminating
       traditional monitor system hangups.
       1st was Herby Hancock

       First Rock Band to have midi capability with all musicians, in fact  
       it added another member as midi tech that interacts during the  
       show. Why is Phil (Bassist) playing that flute???

       One of the first bands to use CAD design for acoustic setup in 
       various venues.
