While reporting LOUD AND CLEAR, I fell into possession of this one of a kind Wall of Sound schematic, labeled and signed by Bob Weir (and initialed by Phil Lesh). It was likely drawn up for the purposes of loading into a venue in 1974, the year of the Wall.
I will cherish it forever.

It’s the actual end of the year, which is a good time to check out the No Expectations Best of 2025 Albums List
I wrote about more music than ever this year at No Expectations, so I compiled what I think are the 100 Best Albums of 2025. If you don't recognize a lot of the names here, don't worry. That's the point. I hope you find something new to dig. www.noexpectations.fyi/p/the-100-be...
