The Who, along with a select few peer bands in the ’60s, pioneered concert PA (“public address” or “power amplification”), basically as we know it today though at a much different scale. Not only were they well regarded as the “loudest band in rock and roll” throughout their career — even landing in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1976 — they also insisted on the highest-quality equipment and support talent to maintain and advance their exacting standards. This following link provides an approximate timeline of developments within the Who’s live setup, as well as references to industry developments. http://www.thewho.net/whotabs/equipment/equip-pa.htm Apr 24 06, 5:40 PM
