Nice thread. Pretty sure it was Cheap Trick Live at Budokan, probably 1979. Had a cheap receiver/turntable combo, Phillips maybe? Turned it up as loud as possible. Must have sounded like crap! I'm sure it drove my parents crazy but I honestly don't remember a lot of screaming to turn it down. lol Thanks mom!
A quick side story about egg crates. Our first band jammed in my buddies basement. We were lucky enough to have a live poultry store right down the block. They gave us as many crates as we wanted. The roughly 1' x 1' paper type. We spent a couple weeks covering almost the entire basement. It didn't keep the sound from heading upstairs but IIRC it definitely did tame the cymbal crashes and mellow things out just a bit. Or maybe it was the weed....
