Decades ago... I remember reading an article in Guitar Player Magazine on the guitar and bass rigs used by The Who on stage. Their main PA system was running over 100,000 watts.
I don't remember the details on Townsend's guitar rig, just that it was extremely loud. The thing that stood out was Entwistle's bass rig. It was over 9000 watts and bi-amped. If I recall, it was loud enough that they rarely ever needed to run it through the PA, depending of course on the particular venue.
Townsend became very concerned about his stage volume in later years, fearing he was going deaf from the stage volume of the early years. Ya Think? But you have to admit that a wall of Marshall amps running wide open with a Les Paul driving them sounds really, really good.
