This brings back memories on two levels. First, I attended quite few of these concerts. And secondly this ad started me on my quadraphonic journey. I saw many acts on their way up the ladder: Carly Simon, Harry Chapin, Poco, Edgar Winter, The Kinks, Blood Sweat & Tears, & many others during the summers of '71 & '72. Then in '71, I spotted that Sony SQ ad in Esquire magazine. WOW! Sound all around! I taped the radio concerts figuring they would sound great in quad. I bought an entry level Lafayette SQ-M decoder, a cheap amp & set of speakers. (I already had a stereo set-up). To say I was disappointed at what I heard would be an understatement. But as the years went by and the decoders got better things improved greatly. Better late than never I say!
