    The Mike Millard mini documentary came out yesterday. Some cool info in this:

    You're right. He did not destroy his tapes.

    Of course there were battery packs. https://reverb.com/item/25469807-akg-b46e-1970s-silver?gclid=Cj0KCQjwoebsBRCHARIsAC3JP0I8jKlHIn7gVAMk3FfwnP-jSrB_i8aHd0pkrwVqXkJ9L1v3-8_UnOoaAq-ZEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&merchant_id=129291271&pla=1&utm_campaign=6445914856&utm_medium=pla&utm_source=google The detail comes directly from Jim R, who pushed Mike into many of the shows in the wheelchair. He had the mics in his hat so he wouldn't be obstructed if the crowd was stood up which it often did. Low in a wheelchair as you describe would be blocked. He was using full size mics, very likely with right angle XLR connectors so the cable went down (his neck) not back then down. He was meticulous about staying still and steady, but I have heard movement on his tapes many times.

    New Mike tapes have been popping up on DIME (not LZ but other artists) in the last couple of months. One of his friends has been contributing to the process and made a couple of these points (not a janitor and his death year) in the posts. The family detail I know privately. It does seem this doc is going to include new information, considering the trailer contains the first confirmed photo of him. They had to get that somewhere.

    Mike was not an only child. He had a brother and a sister. The Internet version of Mike's life gets a lot of things wrong. He wasn't a janitor. He didn't die in 1990 (he died in 1994). He was not an only child. The AKG mics were in his hat, the power packs in his boots, the deck in a bag under the seat. And I do believe that's the first photo of him ever seen.
