Brad,

I once fit our entire band set up in my 85' GL - well everything except the
drums. This included the following:

4 guitars (darn guitar players always need an extra each)
1 bass
3 amp heads
3 speaker cabinets
2 18" PA speaker Cabinets
2 PA top speaker Cabinets (mids and horn cabinet)
I PA rack cabinet (2 amps, and Adat, and several effects units)
3 large rubbermade boxes (cords, mics, etc)
Lights
6 Mic Stands
24 channelPA board
100" PA snake
2 milk crates (more cords)
4 PA Monitors
A small step ladder
a Dolly
And a Banner

It was a beautiful thing - of course there wasn't room for any passengers.
