First surround I heard was in the Odeon, Aberdeen. The Robe, in the '50s.
And the thunder FX made some of the surround speakers rattle. Not very
impressive.

I remember The Robe as the first cinemascope film ever, I agree the FX
sounds seemed overdone, maybe those early surrounds or amps were not up to
the job, cherry red anodes anyone ;-)

early days First impressive live band sound wise - Emile Ford and the
Checkmates at
the Beach Ballroom. You could actually feel the bass guitar. Amazing at
the time - before the Beatles were well known. Saw them there too just
after they came back from Hamburg.

spl's of rock bands in my early days...but now I value my hearing...getting
old eh?
