Here's one of my favorites, from soviet-era Latvia:


There's even pyrotechnics, at 20:37
And the guitarist yelling "stop rushing" at 24:44
The guitar amplifier is pointed towards the vocal mic so they didn't need as many mics.
yet hung like 3 or 4 mics over the audience.
The info that I know about this:
The few PA's that are visible look like Tesla Mono 130 tube amps.
The synth is the classic DX-7,
Guitar amp is a 71 Twin Reverb, guitarist is playing a 77' LPC with T-Tops, and a changed ebony nut.
It was recorded most likely on an 8 track studio tape recorded, it's never seen but 2 years prior the band recorded a song using this:

It just fascinates me how much people back then could do with so little, and especially in the soviet union since like... it was impossible to do anything pretty much, yet somehow stuff was done.
But today, most sound engineers can't do a live mix with 2000$ digital mixers with every feature known to man.
